Salt tectonics in the Sivas basin (Turkey): crossing salt walls and minibasins

Bulletin de la Société Géologique de France, 2014
AbstractThe Sivas basin (Turkey) shows pronounced salt tectonics activity involving the Oligocene evaporites. Despite the complete exposure of the structures, the tectonic evolution of the basin has been so far misunderstood because it has only been envisioned in a context of thrust tectonics.

Stress and Rock Failure Near Salt Bodies: Insights From Field Observations, Kinematic Modeling, and Mechanical Analysis Near Arches National Park, Paradox Basin, Utah

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Salt's inherent weakness and capacity for ductile deformation create significant mechanical contrasts that locally perturb the stress field in surrounding rocks, often leading to deviations from regional tectonic stresses. Variations in local stress are a critical factor for wellbore stability, seal integrity, and fluid flow in subsurface ...

From downbuilding to contractional reactivation of salt-sediment systems: insights from analog modeling. [PDF]

, 2022
This work studies salt-detached fold-and-thrust belts involving minibasins by means of physical analogue modeling. The experimental set up consist of a series of minibasins and diapirs built by downbuilding into a regular polygonal framework.

Experimental Verification of a Two‐Dimensional Inverse Method for Turbidity Currents Using a Deep Neural Network

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Turbidites have been widely studied as indicators of the occurrences and magnitudes of paleo‐tsunamis and paleo‐earthquakes. Inversion to estimate flow conditions from turbidites offers valuable insights into the magnitudes of paleo‐seismic and tsunami events.

Deformation and evolution of Aptian salt tectonics in the central Lower Congo Basin: integrated analogue and 3D discrete element modelling

Frontiers in Earth Science
The Lower Congo Basin, a salt-rich passive-margin basin, displays complex coupling between salt tectonics and sedimentation that strongly controls hydrocarbon systems, yet the deformation mechanisms and spatiotemporal evolution of its Aptian salt ...

Dynamic Controls on Salt Structures and Translation Velocity at Continental Rifted Margins

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Salt tectonics at rifted margins involves intricate interactions between weak, viscous evaporite layers and brittle sedimentary rocks. Geophysical data and geological interpretation offer valuable insights into evaporite structure formation and the average translation rate of evaporite and sediment layers on time scales of several million ...

Cenozoic Evolution of the North‐Eastern Mediterranean Basins

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The Eastern Mediterranean lies at the junction of the African, Arabian, and Eurasian plates, a region shaped by a long and complex tectonic history. While the Levant Basin in the southern sector has been extensively studied for hydrocarbon exploration, the northern domain offshore Cyprus, Turkey, Syria, and Lebanon remains less understood.

Geophysical Insights Into 3D Crustal Architecture of Jurassic Magmatic Intrusions in the Moroccan Atlas

Earth and Space Science, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Magmatic intrusions in rifted continental margins play a critical role in shaping structural evolution, yet their geometry and emplacement mechanisms remain poorly constrained in salt‐influenced terrains. The Moroccan Central High Atlas, a segment of the Atlas fold‐and‐thrust belt, hosts extensive Middle Jurassic to Early Cretaceous intrusions

Surging Versus Continuous Turbidity Currents: Flow Dynamics and Deposits in an Experimental Intraslope Minibasin [PDF]

, 2004
Small intraslope basins (~100 km^2), or "minibasins," such as those found on the continental slope of the Gulf of Mexico, have been filled predominantly by turbidity currents.

Interplay Between Salt Tectonics and a Large Igneous Province in the Espírito Santo Basin (Brazil)

Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Salt tectonics provinces host numerous resources and are now targeted as potential areas of development for energy storage capacities such as underground storage in salt caverns. Sedimentary basins containing salt structures are common at passive margins where volcanic rocks, emplaced either during the lithospheric breakup or the post‐rift ...
