Diapiric Structures off Niger Delta
AAPG Bulletin, 1973 ABSTRACT Several marine geophysical profiles off the southern part of the Niger delta reveal the presence of diapiric structures beneath the continental slope and rise. The origin of the diapiric material appears to be deep in the sedimentary section and is believed to be of Aptian-Albian age.

Buoyancy versus shear forces in building orogenic wedges [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2021 The dynamics of growing collisional orogens are mainly controlled by buoyancy and shear forces. However, the relative importance of these forces, their temporal evolution and their impact on the tectonic style of orogenic wedges remain elusive.
