Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Salt‐ and Shale‐Detached Contractional Deformation, Mexican Northwestern Gulf of Mexico

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract In the northwestern Gulf of Mexico, gravity‐driven contractional deformation is recorded across the Salina del Bravo, the Perdido and Peripheral fold belts, and the Mexican Cordilleras. Integrating seismic interpretation, structural mapping, and analysis, we examine the spatial and temporal partitioning of shortening above three principal ...

Accumulation characteristics and differential enrichment modes of natural gas in different regions of Dongfang 1-1 diapir, Yinggehai Basin

Shiyou shiyan dizhi
As one of the most important gas-bearing structures in the central depression of the Yinggehai Basin, the diapir-associated gas field group has proven geological natural gas reserves of about 180 billion m3.

Control of salt structures on hydrocarbons in the passive continental margin of West Africa

Petroleum Exploration and Development, 2011
Salt basins along the passive continental margin of West Africa are becoming one of the most attractive areas for hydrocarbon exploration. The oil and gas discovered recently are related to salt structures.

Timing of the Albano‐Hellenic Paleomagnetic Rotation

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The Aegean arc is the most prominent Mediterranean salient, characterized by significant paleomagnetic rotations along its limbs. Although it is well‐established that the external Ionian and Kruja zones of the Albano‐Hellenides underwent a ∼40° post‐Oligocene clockwise (CW) rotation relative to Africa/Adria, the rotation timing remains debated.

Quantifying Thermo‐Fluid‐Chemical Coupling: Advection Governs Multi‐Phase Zonation and Self‐Sealing in a Hydrate‐Cold Seep System

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Deep fluid advection fundamentally governs the thermal‐fluid‐chemical evolution and distribution of hydrate‐cold seep systems. However, coupled relationships between deep fluid and shallow multiphase dynamics remain inadequately constrained.

Troodos: A Giant Serpentinite Diapir

International Journal of Geosciences, 2011
Troodos is a classical ophiolite complex. It is proposed that the serpentinized harzburgites that now form the top of the mountain and represent the originally lowest part of the ophiolite sequence rose as a diapir. This diapiric rise is caused by the pervasive serpentinization of a suboceanic harzburgite, due to rock-sea water interaction.

Structural Evolution of a Polyphase Salt‐Tectonic System From Syn‐Rift Extension to Syn‐Orogenic Deformation in the Middle Atlas (Oum Er Rbia Region, Morocco)

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Salt tectonics has received little attention in the Middle Atlas, despite the widespread occurrence of Triassic evaporites and their potential to exert first‐order control on basin architecture and deformation. This study presents the first integrated analysis of polyphase salt tectonics in the Middle Atlas, focusing on the Oum Er‐Rbia sector,

Observation of Surface Subsidence above Workings in a Salt Diapir: Case Studies from the Wapno and Kłodawa Mines

Technical Transactions
Surface subsidence above salt mines reflects the complex interaction of elastic and viscous deformation processes in rock salt, as well as hydrogeological and structural changes within diapiric formations.

Numerical Modelling of Salt-Related Stress Decoupling in Sedimentary Basins–Motivated by Observational Data from the North German Basin

Geosciences, 2018
A three dimensional (3D) finite element model is used to study the conditions leading to mechanical decoupling at a salt layer and vertically varying stress fields in salt-bearing sedimentary basins.

The Mesozoic Subduction Zone over the Dongsha Waters of the South China Sea and Its Significance in Gas Hydrate Accumulation

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
The Mesozoic subduction zone over the Dongsha Waters (DSWs) of the South China Sea (SCS) is a part of the westward subduction of the ancient Pacific plate.
