Development of salt minibasins initiated by sedimentary topographic relief

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2012
Abstract Can sedimentary topographic relief (here termed uneven sedimentation) explain the enigmatic early initiation of salt minibasins at rifted continental margins when the sediment fill is less dense than the underlying salt? Using isostatic balancing arguments for compacting sediments, we first demonstrate that minibasin-scale thickness ...

Stratigraphic evolution of intraslope minibasins: Insights from surface-based model

AAPG Bulletin, 2015
Although numerous case studies exist to illustrate the large-scale stratigraphic architecture of salt-withdrawal minibasins, there is no clear understanding of how stratal patterns emerge as a function of the interplay between basin subsidence and sedimentation.

2D numerical simulation of the filling process of submarine minibasins: Study of deposit architecture

Journal of Sedimentary Research, 2021
ABSTRACTIntraslope basins, or minibasins, are topographic features of the continental slope that can be filled with sediment transported by submarine flows. These deposits may contain important hydrocarbon reservoirs. Here we present results of two-dimensional numerical simulations of multiple turbidity currents entering two linked minibasins.

Lateral Facies Variability Along the Margin of an Outcropping Salt-Withdrawal Minibasin, South Australia

Journal of Sedimentary Research, 2019
Many aspects of depositional processes adjacent to exposed evaporite diapirs arc not well understood, yet these processes are key to understanding sediments that are part of economically important hydrocarbon systems around the world. In the Adelaide Rift Complex of South Australia, diapirs intersected the seafloor and land surface during the Ediacaran-

Subsidence analysis of salt tectonics‐driven carbonate minibasins (Northern Calcareous Alps, Austria)

Basin Research, 2020
Abstract Subsidence analysis study for several Triassic carbonate platforms from the eastern Northern Calcareous Alps shows that salt expulsion allowed for the growth of thick isolated depocentres (>1.5 km) at rates faster than those tectonic subsidence alone can provide. Our results, in addition to independent

Numerical Investigation of Turbidity Currents Flowing Through Minibasins on the Continental Slope

Journal of Sedimentary Research, 2008
Abstract Numerical investigation of the dynamics of turbidity currents flowing through a series of minibasins is conducted. A two-dimensional vertical-structure-resolving finite-volume model is developed to solve the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations along with the sediment mass conservation equation in a non-orthogonal grid system. In addition,
