Thrusts

Thrust developed in well-bedded limestones, Oman mountain belt. Rob's research into thrust systems has followed a number of distinct themes.

Geometry of thrust systems.
Fold-thrust relationships.
Role of pre-existing structures - inversion in mountain belts.
Crustal scale application of thrusting models.
Using stratigraphy to deduce rates of thrusting.
