Extension and inversion of salt-bearing rift systems [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2020 We used physical models to investigate the structural evolution of segmented extensional rifts containing syn-rift evaporites and their subsequent inversion. An early stage of extension generated structural topography consisting of a series of en-échelon

Inversion of accommodation zones in salt-bearing extensional systems: insights from analog modeling [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2023 This work uses sandbox analog models to analyze the formation and subsequent inversion of a decoupled extensional system comprised of two segmented half-grabens separated by a diffuse accommodation zone with thick early syn-rift salt.

How Fast Can Minibasins Translate Down a Slope? Observations from 2D Numerical Models
Tektonika, 2023 Minibasins are important features in salt-bearing basins and are abundant in salt-detached continental slopes where the salt and the overlying sedimentary cover (including minibasins) undergo seaward translation due to gravity.

BSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin, 2021 The northern margin of the Organyà basin (Southern Pyrenees) has a complex structure in which syn-rift Lower Cretaceous carbonates flank a wide Keuper evaporite province, featuring the leading edges of the basement-involved thrust sheets of the Pyrenean ...

Forward Modelling for Structural Stratigraphic Analysis, Offshore Sureste Basin, Mexico
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 The stratal architecture of deep-water minibasins is dominantly controlled by the interplay of two factors, structure growth and sediment supply. In this paper we explore the utility of a reduced-complexity, fast computational method (Onlapse-2D) to ...

Overprinting translational domains in passive margin salt basins: insights from analogue modelling [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2019 Current models of gravitational tectonics on the structural styles of salt-influenced passive margins typically depict domains of upslope extension and corresponding downslope contraction separated by a mid-slope domain of translation that is rather ...

Geosciences, 2019 Although the thermal effect of large salt tongues and allochthonous salt sheets in passive margins is described in the literature, little is known about the thermal effect of salt structures in confined rift basins where sub-vertical, closely spaced salt

Geology of the Central Sivas Basin (Turkey)
Journal of Maps, 2019 This paper presents a revised geological map at the 1/50,000 scale of the Central Sivas Basin together with a synthetic stratigraphic chart and cross-sections. The map covers an area of approximately 9840 km² within the Eastern Anatolian orogen.

Petroleum Science, 2018 The Triassic fluvial sandstones of the Skagerrak Formation were deposited in a series of salt-walled mini-basins and act as important hydrocarbon reservoirs for several high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) fields in the Central Graben, North Sea.
