“…It is also important to emphasize that analogue modelling results can vary significantly due 635 to variations in material properties and handling techniques (e.g. Schreurs et al 2006 and2016, section 3), different degrees of sedimentation, or different amounts and rates of extension and subsequent compression. The vast range of possible variations cannot always be fully accounted for in our generalized overviews.…”

“…Directly comparing the results from different analogue modelling studies is often challenging, due to the many small and larger differences in model set-up, materials and applied boundary conditions. And even if researchers aim to run the exact same model, some differences between the model results are to be expected due to variations in handling techniques or laboratory conditions (Krantz 1991b;Lohrmann et al 2003;Schreurs et al 2006;2016;Maillot 2013;Klinkmüller et al 1240Klinkmüller et al 2016Rudolf et al 2016;Schmid et al 2020). The overviews presented in this review should therefore be taken as a guide, and the reader is referred to the specific studies for more details on the original model results.…”

“…Nevertheless, in order to distinctively determine the relative importance of set-ups, materials and model parameters, systematic comparisons and benchmarking efforts, such as those done for thrust wedges and rifting (Schreurs et al 2006;12452016Zwaan et al 2019), are needed. Within the field of analogue modelling of basin inversion, there is a great need for benchmarking, as virtually no such efforts have been published.…”

Abstract. Basin inversion involves the reversal of subsidence in a basin due to compressional tectonic forces, leading to uplift of the basin’s sedimentary infill. A thorough understanding of basin inversion is of great importance for scientific, societal and economic reasons. Analogue tectonic modelling forms a key part our efforts to improve our understanding of basin inversion processes, and researchers have conducted numerous studies on this topic. In this review paper we recap the advances in knowledge of basin inversion tectonics acquired through analogue modelling studies, providing an up-to-date summary of the state of analogue modelling of basin inversion. We describe the different definitions of basin inversion that are being applied by researchers, why basin inversion has been historically an important research topic, and what the general mechanics involved in basin inversion are. We subsequently treat the wide range of different experimental approaches used for basin inversion modelling, with attention to the various materials, set-ups and techniques used for monitoring and analysing the model results. Our new systematic overviews of generalized results reveal the diversity of model results, depending greatly on the chosen set-up, model layering and (oblique) kinematics of inversion, as well as 3D along-strike structural and kinematic variations in the system. We show how analogue modelling results are in good agreement with numerical models, and how these results help to better understand natural examples of basin inversion. In addition to reviewing the past efforts in the field of analogue modelling, we also shed light on future modelling challenges and identify a number of opportunities for follow-up research. These include the testing of force-boundary conditions, adding geological processes such as sedimentation, transport and erosion, applying state-of-the-art modelling and quantification techniques, and establishing best modelling practices. We also suggest expanding the scope of basin inversion modelling beyond the traditional upper crustal "North Sea style" of inversion, which may contribute to the on-going search for clean energy resources. It follows that basin inversion modelling can bring valuable new insights, providing a great incentive to continue our efforts in this field. We therefore hope that this review paper will form an inspiration for future analogue modelling studies of basin inversion.

Active thrusting of the Longquan Fault in the central Sichuan basin, China, and the seismotectonic behavior in the Longmen Shan fold‐and‐thrust belt

Present‐day convergence within the Longmen Shan fold‐and‐thrust belt (LSFTB) was released by the 2008 Mw 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake, which ruptured multiple thrust ramps beneath the range front structures. However, it is still unclear whether fault slip propagated eastward into the foreland, closer to densely populated areas around Chengdu. In this study, we provide constraints on the 3‐D subsurface structure, fault activity, and seismic hazards of the Longquan fault located in the central Sichuan basin, ~100 km east of the range front structures of the LSFTB. We develop a seismotectonic model and assess the activity of the Longquan fault by a combination of methods, including interpretation of seismic reflection profiles, analysis of satellite images, field mapping, trench logging, and radiocarbon dating. Our survey reveals that at least two surface‐rupturing events occurred on the Longquan fault. Our 3‐D structural model and evidence for Holocene faulting events on the Longquan fault reveals that upper crustal shortening in the Sichuan basin is accommodated by a frontal thrust system that is linked to the recently active range front blind structures by a shallow detachment. We suggest that dynamic weakening following fault activity at the Longmen Shan range front might unlock the updip portion of this shallow detachment, sending slip eastward into the foreland and to the surface along the Longquan thrust ramps. Our results have important implications for seismic hazards assessment of active frontal thrusts linked by upper crustal detachments in active fold‐and‐thrust belts around the world.
