Stretching and contraction of extensional basins with pre-rift salt: a numerical modelling approach [PDF]

, 2021
We present a series of 2D thermo-mechanical numerical experiments of thick-skinned crustal extension including a pre-rift salt horizon and subsequent thin-, thick-skinned, or mixed styles of convergence accompanied by surface processes.

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 ...

First direct measurements of hydraulic jumps in an active submarine density current [PDF]

, 2013
For almost half a century, it has been suspected that hydraulic jumps, which consist of a sudden decrease in downstream velocity and increase in flow thickness, are an important feature of submarine density currents such as turbidity currents and debris ...

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.

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 ...

Gravity tectonics controls on reservoir-scale sandbodies: Insights from 3D seismic geomorphology of the canyons buried in the upper slope of the Eastern Niger delta basin

Energy Geoscience
High-resolution 3D seismic data analysis was integrated with a calibrated well and biostratigraphy data to present the first overview of a buried Pleistocene canyon system on the upper slope of the eastern Niger Delta, the Galabor Canyon.

The inverted Triassic rift of the Marrakech High Atlas : a reappraisal of basin geometries and faulting histories [PDF]

, 2015
The High Atlas of Morocco is an aborted rift developed during the Triassic-Jurassic and moderately inverted during the Cenozoic. The Marrakech High Atlas, with large exposures of basement and Triassic early syn-rift deposits, is ideal to investigate the ...

Coupling Crustal-Scale Rift Architecture With Passive Margin Salt Tectonics: A Geodynamic Modeling Approach [PDF]

, 2022
Continental rifted margins are often associated with widespread, thick evaporite (i.e., salt) deposits and pronounced salt tectonics. The majority of salt basins formed during the latest stages of rifting, prior to continental breakup.

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.

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 ...
