Trapping of sustained turbidity currents by intraslope minibasins

Sedimentology, 2005
AbstractDepositional turbidity currents have filled many intraslope minibasins with sediment creating targets for petroleum exploration. The dynamics of sustained turbidity currents and their depositional characteristics are investigated in a scaled physical model of a minibasin.

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.

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,

Outcrop 13. Tres Pasos Formation Slope Minibasin Fill, El Chingue Bluff

2009
Abstract Outcrop accessibility: moderate Outcrop Coordinates: 51.1537°S, 72.4725°W Refer to outcrop 13 on location map Limited exposures of sandstone are present in the Tres Pasos Formation between Sierra Contreras and Laguna Figueroa; an important exception is a 60 m thick succession dominated by coarse-grained turbiditic

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-

Experiment on Turbidity Currents and Their Deposits in a Model 3D Subsiding Minibasin

Journal of Sedimentary Research, 2005
Abstract Minibasins on the continental slope are formed by the movement of salt or mud layers in the subsurface. The north slope of the Gulf of Mexico (GOM), for example, is riddled with salt-withdrawal minibasins ranging in scale from a few kilometers to tens of kilometers.
