InSAR surface deformation and numeric modeling unravel an active salt diapir in southern Romania [PDF]
Salt diapirism is often associated with potential hydrocarbon energy resources, and detecting active diapirs can strongly affect the prospect to discover new gas and oilfields.

Geology and evolution of the Cortes de Pallás diapir (Eastern Iberia)
This paper presents an 1:20,000 geological map and cross-sections of the Cortes de Pallás diapir (eastern Iberia). This structure is located at the junction of the Iberian Chain and the Betic Cordillera, in the northernmost part of the eastern Prebetic ...

An extensive pockmark field on the upper Atlantic margin of Southeast Brazil: spatial analysis and its relationship with salt diapirism [PDF]
We present new evidence for the existence of a large pockmark field on the continental slope of the Santos Basin, offshore southeast Brazil. A recent high-resolution multibeam bathymetric survey revealed 984 pockmarks across a smooth seabed at water ...

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Anatomy and evolution of the Astoin diapiric complex, sub-Alpine fold-and-thrust belt (France)
The structure of the southwestern branch of the Alpine orogen is affected by the extensive Late Triassic evaporites. These evaporites have been involved in polyphased salt tectonics since the early Liassic, coeval with the Tethyan rifting, and are the ...

Impact of Dead Sea Halo-Karst Development on an Earthen Dike Rehabilitation Project
From the 1970s, the Dead Sea experienced severe halo-karstification and anthropogenic modifications. Progressively, but at an accelerating rate, subsidence, landslides, and sinkholes have increased in number and magnitude. The hazards’ triggering factors

Structures in Shallow Marine Sediments Associated with Gas and Fluid Migration
Geological structure changes, including deformations and ruptures, developed in shallow marine sediments are well recognized but were not systematically reviewed in previous studies. These structures, generally developed at a depth less than 1000 m below
