Development of salt minibasins initiated by sedimentary topographic relief
Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2012Abstract 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 ...

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.

Post-salt carbonates control salt-tectonic minibasin formation
Geology, 2023Abstract Salt tectonics on passive margins are driven by sediment loading and gliding with minimal influence from basement-involved tectonics and is associated with variable and complex salt structures, such as minibasins and diapirs.

Coevolution of Minibasin Subsidence and Sedimentation: Experiments
Journal of Sedimentary Research, 2015Abstract Subsidence patterns resulting from differential sediment loading on a mobile substrate (e.g., salt) are an important process for the development of accommodation and stratigraphic architectures in intraslope minibasins. Numerous studies of minibasin systems have focused on either the tectonic processes involved in salt deformation or the ...
