Abstract

Summary

Characterization of fault zones for fluid migration through the integration of outcrop structural data and optical petrography. This study characterizes the history of fluid migration through the fault zone, the changes in deformation style related to structural diagenesis, and the slip and dilation tendency of the fault zone.
