From salt‐bearing rifted margins to fold‐and‐thrust belts. Insights from analog modeling and northern calcareous alps case study [PDF]

, 2022
Analog modeling is used to study the role played by the inherited salt-sediment architecture of a salt-bearing rifted margin, developed by minibasin downbuilding and margin-scale gliding, and then incorporated into a fold-and-thrust belt system ...

Diapiric ridges and minibasins in the Central High Atlas: impact on geometries and facies distribution (Lower-Middle Jurassic, Morocco)

BSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin
The Central High Atlas of Morocco is the result of the Alpine tectonic inversion of an intracontinental Mesozoic basin, the infill of which started with thick Upper Triassic clay and evaporite deposition.

How Fast Can Minibasins Move?

, 2019
This talk focuses on the subsidence and lateral translation rates of minibasins. We begin by providing an analytical and numerical framework within which to understand minibasin subsidence, before calculating subsidence rates from numerous natural minibasins developed in a range of salt basins of widely varying ages.

Syn-Depositional Halokinesis in the Zechstein Supergroup (Lopingian) Controls Triassic Minibasin Genesis and Location

Basin Research, 2022
Salt tectonics is typically caused by the flow of mobile evaporites in response to post-depositional gravity gliding and/or differential loading by overburden sediments. This situation is considerably more complex near the margins of salt basins, where carbonate and clastic rocks may be deposited at the same time and interbedded with more mobile ...

Unpredictable geometry and depositional stacking patterns of mass-transport complexes in salt minibasins [PDF]

Marine and Petroleum Geology, 2020
Mass-transport complexes in a salt minibasin of the Espírito Santo Basin (SE Brazil) are investigated using a high-quality 3D seismic volume and borehole data. A series of six (6), stacked MTCs were identified from the sea floor down to an approximate depth of 1.5 km. These MTCs exhibit a high variability in size and internal structures.

Influence of Minibasin Obstruction on Canopy Dynamics in the northern Gulf of Mexico

Basin Research, 2020
Abstract In salt‐detached gravity‐gliding/spreading systems the detachment geometry is a key control on the downslope mobility of the supra‐salt sequence. Here, we used regional 3D seismic data to examine a salt‐stock canopy in the northern Gulf of Mexico slope, in an area where supra‐canopy minibasins subsided vertically and ...

Deltaic deposits at Aeolis Dorsa: Sedimentary evidence for a standing body of water on the northern plains of Mars [PDF]

, 2013
A fundamental long-standing question regarding Mars history is whether the flat and low-lying northern plains ever hosted an ocean. The best opportunity to solve this problem is provided by stratigraphic observations of sedimentary deposits onlapping the

Multi-scale, multidisciplinary analysis of mass-transport complex (MTC) emplacement and structure [PDF]

, 2020
Mass-transport complexes (MTCs) refer to seismically-chaotic deposits generated by large-scale gravity flows, and form one of the most sedimentologically- and seismically- distinctive depositional elements in deep-water depositional systems.

Pockmarks, Mud Volcanoes and Hydrocarbon Seeps in the Northern Gulf of Mexico: Trends and Controls on Widespread Fluid and Gas Venting

Basin Research, Volume 38, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Basin‐scale dataset reveals widespread hydrocarbon venting at the seafloor in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Hydrocarbon release at the seafloor is related to the occurrence of the underlying Louann salt and the gas hydrate stability zone. ABSTRACT The release of hydrocarbons, pore water and fluidized sediments impacts seafloor morphology, marine ...

Inversion of transfer zones in salt-bearing extensional systems: insights from analogue modeling [PDF]

, 2023
This work uses sandbox analogue models to analyze the formation and subsequent inversion of a decoupled extensional system comprised of two segmented half-grabens with thick early syn-rift salt.
