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.

Diapirism and topography [PDF]
SUMMARY A new numerical technique using markers and a deformable Lagrangian mesh is used to study the deformation of the surface above a rising diapir. This method allows modelling of a free-surface boundary in a self-consistent way. The method makes it possible to investigate many different problems with non-regular geometry.

Geophysical-Geotechnical Characterization of Mud Volcanoes in Cartagena Colombia
In this research, the mud diapirism phenomenon in the Membrillal sector in Cartagena is characterized to analyze its spatiotemporal evolution. The goal is to geomorphologically, geotechnically, and geologically characterize the area to zone regions with ...

RESEARCH ON THE VULNERABILITY OF SOMEș MIC MEADOW IN TERMS OF HYDROGEOLOGICAL
The area between Cluj-Napoca and Apahida consists of miocene and quaternary deposits. Miocene (tortonian) is affected by salty diapirism manifested by salt water, which influences the water chemistry of quaternary deposits.

Formation of the Naxos nested domes and crustal differentiation by convection and diapirism
The Naxos dome, in the middle of the Aegean domain, exposes the former root of the Alpine orogenic belt and represents a key natural example to investigate the development of gravitational instabilities during orogenic evolution and their impact on ...
