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.

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.

Coronae on Venus observations and models of origin [PDF]

The Venera 15/16 spacecraft revealed a number of features of unknown origin including coronae, elongate to circular structures with a complex interior surrounded by an annulus of concentric ridges. Eighteen coronae were identified in Venera 15/16 data of

Seismological Characterization of Northern Hikurangi Margin Slow Slip Regions Associated With Normal Faults, Seamounts, and Seeps

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract At the northern Hikurangi margin, Aotearoa New Zealand, slow slip events (SSEs) recur every 6–24 months to ∼ ${\sim} $30 km depth. Although shallow SSEs (0–10 km) are well‐studied offshore, the deeper portion (10–30 km) remains poorly understood, limiting insight into SSE initiation.

The role of nonuniform internal heating in Triton's energy budget [PDF]

Triton's large heliocentric distance and high albedo, combined with its unusually large silicate mass fraction, make internal heating more important in its energy budget than in that of any other icy satellite. Brown et al.

Mechanisms and Geochemical Models of Core Formation

, 2015
The formation of the Earth's core is a consequence of planetary accretion and processes in the Earth's interior. The mechanical process of planetary differentiation is likely to occur in large, if not global, magma oceans created by the collisions of ...

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.

Triton: A hot potato [PDF]

The effect of sunlight on the surface of Triton was studied. Widely disparate models of the active geysers observed during Voyager 2 flyby were proposed, with a solar energy source almost their only feature.
