The Depositional Record, 2023 AbstractSeafloor topography can affect turbidity current dynamics on deep‐water slopes, significantly influencing the dispersal of sediment. Despite the common occurrence of topographic complexity, there are few detailed investigations of topographic interactions and their effect on downslope flow evolution in intraslope environments.

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

Rising and falling diapirs, shifting depocenters, and flap overturning in the Cretaceous Sopeira and Sant Gervàs subbasins (Ribagorça Basin, southern Pyrenees) [PDF]
, 2016 The halokinetic structure of inverted salt-related continental margins is frequently obliterated by compressional overprinting. The Cretaceous Sopeira and Sant Gervàs subbasins of the Ribagorça Basin (south central Pyrenees) show evidence of salt-related

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 ...

Minibasin depocentre migration during diachronous salt welding, offshore Angola [PDF]
Basin Research, 2019 Abstract Salt tectonics is an important part of the geological evolution of many continental margins, yet the four‐dimensional evolution of the minibasins, the fundamental building block of these and many other salt basins, remains poorly understood.

The Stratigraphic Record of Minibasin Subsidence, Precaspian Basin, Kazakhstan
Basin Research, 2019 AbstractMinibasins are fundamental components of many salt‐bearing sedimentary basins, where they may host large volumes of hydrocarbons. Although we understand the basic mechanics governing their subsidence, we know surprisingly little of how minibasins subside in three‐dimensions over geological timescales, or what controls such variability.

Kinematics of regional salt flow in the northern Gulf of Mexico [PDF]
, 2012 International audienceThe kinematics of regional-scale salt flow in the northern Gulf of Mexico is analysed using: (i) a map of shelf-break contours at the termination of successive depositional episodes; (ii) the location and geometry of large-scale ...

Diapiric growth within an Early Jurassic rift basin: The Tazoult salt wall (central High Atlas, Morocco) [PDF]
, 2017 The central High Atlas (Morocco) constitutes a diapiric province that hosts a complex array of elongated diapirs and minibasins that formed during the Lower Jurassic rift of the Atlas Basin.
