Cover Image Credits: Sketches summarizing the structural evolution of the Jabal Akhdar dome (Oman Mountains), with the order of events identified from subseismic-scale structures, and calculated stress field orientations. The stereogram illustrates the evolution of the principal compression stress (σ1) showing two main trends: firstly obduction of the Ophiolite and Hawasina nappes (#2), normal (dip-slip) and oblique-slip faulting (#3), reverse thrusting and exhumation (#4), and secondly a far horizontal compression that comprises three events (#5-#7) associated with the oblique transpression between the Arabian and Indian plates. (See article titled The Jabal Akhdar Dome in the Oman Mountains: Evolution of a dynamic fracture system by E. Gomez-Rivas, P. D. Bons, J. L. Urai, M. Arndt, S. Virgo, B. Laurich, C. Zeeb, L. Stark, and P. Blum, this issue, p. 1104.)
