Cenozoic tropical carbonate platforms in the Santos Basin, SE Brazilian Margin

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tropical carbonate platforms accompanied the latitudinal shifts of the tropical belt throughout the Cenozoic. Their flat‐topped geometries were influenced by a specific set of processes, including climate and sea‐level changes, carbonate facies, tectonics and continental runoff.

Overpressure reservoirs of the Huangliu Formation of the Dongfang area, Yinggehai Basin, South China Sea

Petroleum Exploration and Development, 2013
The relationship between reservoir property and such factors as sedimentary microfacies, clastic component, grain size, and special diagenetic environment of high temperature and overpressure were comprehensively analyzed to study reservoir ...

Extension, sedimentation and diapirism: understanding evolution of diapiric structures in the Central High Atlas using analogue modelling

, 2018
Analogue modelling has proven to be an essential tool for the study and analysis of the mechanisms involved in tectonic processes. Applied to salt tectonics, analogue modelling has been used to understand the mechanisms that trigger the onset of diapirs and the evolution of diapiric structures and minibasins. Analogue modelling has also been applied to

Multi‐proxy sequence stratigraphy of a mixed carbonate–siliciclastic shelf across the Jurassic–Cretaceous transition

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 4, September 2026.
An integrated facies, MS and XRF‐based approach applied to the Tithonian–Berriasian Sidi Khalif Formation (central Tunisia) resolves five Tithonian and eight Berriasian third‐order sequences, showing how mixed carbonate–siliciclastic shelves record coupled eustatic, climatic and tectonic controls and providing a transferable template for similar mud ...

Geology of the Central High Atlas diapiric province (Rich-Imilchil): a cartographic synthesis

Journal of Maps
We present a geological map of the Central High Atlas of Morocco (excluding the mountain fronts), illustrating a structure consisting of narrow ridges of lower Jurassic carbonates, occasionally cored by Triassic Keuper rocks and basalt, or by mid-late ...

Large (∼80 km) Shield Volcanoes on the Moon Possibly Fed by Shallow Magma Reservoirs

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Large shield volcanoes are among the most prominent volcanic structures on terrestrial bodies. The Moon, while volcanically very active in the past and hosting various volcanic features, seems to lack such large shield volcanoes. Here, we report the identification of two lunar volcanic domes (Prinz‐Harbinger and Theophilus) with diameters ...

Modeling of Salt Tectogenesis in Connection With the Choice of the Main Directions for the Search For Hydrocarbon Deposits and Hydromineral Raw Materials Within the Kempendyai Depression (South-East оf the Siberian Platform)

Georesursy
A brief description of the geological structure of the sedimentary cover within the Kempendyai depression is given, in which two intervals of formation of unstable layers in the Cambrian and Devonian are distinguished, and their salt saturation is ...

Impact of Salt Tectonics on Temperatures Distribution Revealed by RSCM Thermometry in the SW Alps (France)

Tektonika
Evaporites have a strong impact on the structural and sedimentary evolution of sedimentary basins and fold-and-thrust belts. They also have a thermal conductivity that can be more important than other sedimentary rocks and are thus able to modify the ...
