The nucleation and evolution of Riedel shear zones as deformation bands in porous sandstone

“…The term "Riedel Shears" (Hills 1963) refers to a specific geometric fault pattern first demonstrated in clay -cake models (Riedel 1929). The pattern includes relatively short, en èchelon fault segments that may link to form a through -going Principal Shear Zone (PSZ) (Skempton 1966).…”

Geology of the Stroudsburg quadrangle and Adjacent areas, Pennsylvania--New Jersey

“…The alignment of min- of low temperature and pressure does not mean that they cannot occur under metamorphic conditions. The role of water in metamorphism has been amply discussed, ranging from its effects during the development of cleavage (Hills, 1963;Leith, 1905, p. 70 ) to higher grades of metamorphism (Yoder, 1955)-It is to be expected that water is liberated during progressive metamorphism.…”

Automatic drainage pattern recognition in river networks

“…As a consequence, to a certain extent, a drainage pattern can reflect the geographical characteristics of a river network. In structural geology, drainage patterns not only offer clues to geological structure, but also help to decode regional geological chronology (Hills, 1963). Moreover, drainage patterns are useful in the search for minerals (e.g.…”
