An Albian‐Cenomanian Salt Canopy and Secondary Minibasins in the Sub‐Alpine Fold and Thrust Belt of Haute Provence, France

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 44, Issue 3, March 2025.
Abstract Allochthonous salt is common on passive margins and although present in some onshore fold and thrust belts, only a few examples of salt canopies and associated secondary minibasins are known in this tectonic setting. The Subalpine chains of Haute Provence contain Triassic evaporites and have been studied for over 100 years but the importance ...

Late Jurassic Initial Development of a Salt‐Dominated Fold‐And‐Thrust Belt: The Inverted Passive Margin of the Eastern Alps (Austria)

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 44, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract The Northern Calcareous Alps (Eastern Alps, Austria) represent a well‐preserved example of the early stages of inversion of a salt‐bearing passive margin, which occurred in a fully submarine setting. Late Jurassic shortening led to widespread thrusting and folding that nucleated preferentially, although not exclusively, along salt structures ...

New discoveries at Woolsey Mound, MC118, northern Gulf of Mexico [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Woolsey Mound, a 1km-diameter carbonate-gas hydrate complex in the northern Gulf of Mexico, is the site of the Gulf’s only seafloor monitoring station-observatory in its only research reserve, Mississippi Canyon 118.

High‐Resolution Ensemble Modelling of Coral Distributions in the Northern Gulf of Mexico Based on Geomorphometry: Coral Diversity and Benthic Habitat Fragmentation From Oil and Gas Infrastructure to Inform Spatial Planning

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 34, Issue 9, September 2024.
ABSTRACT The northern Gulf of Mexico is home to several species of corals that provide a wide range of ecosystem services to other organisms. Oil and gas infrastructure, such as platforms and pipelines, form an extensive network throughout the northern Gulf of Mexico.

Evolving fill‐and‐spill patterns across linked early post‐rift depocentres control lobe characteristics: Los Molles Formation, Argentina

open access: yesSedimentology, Volume 71, Issue 5, Page 1639-1685, August 2024.
ABSTRACT Inherited rift topography controls the sediment routing, timing of sand supply, and sedimentary linkage of early post‐rift depocentres. Exhumed examples of early post‐rift turbidite systems are rare and previous studies have examined the evolution of individual depocentres; in contrast, the detailed evolution of early post‐rift turbidite ...

Deep-water seafloor geomorphic features of the Santos Basin, Southeastern Brazilian Margin, shown by analyses and integration of an extensive 3-D seismic data set

open access: yesOcean and Coastal Research
The extensive coverage of 3-D seismic data on the Santos Basin deep water offered an integrated vision of the local physiography and medium- to small-scale geomorphological features, which enhances the understanding of its constructive/deconstructive ...

Salt Distribution in the South Pyrenean Central Salient: Insights From Gravity Anomalies

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 43, Issue 5, May 2024.
Abstract Triassic evaporites represent the regional décollement of the Pyrenees and form two salt provinces north and south of the South Pyrenean Central Salient (SPCS). We present an updated Bouguer and residual Bouguer anomaly map built upon the homogenization of available gravity data of the SPCS together with four new and representative cross ...

Process controls on the development of stratigraphic trap potential on the margins of confined turbidite systems and aids to reservoir evaluation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Stratigraphic trapping at pinch-out margins is a key feature of many turbidite-hosted hydrocarbon reservoirs. In systems confined by lateral or oblique frontal slopes, outcrop studies show that there is a continuum between two geometries of pinch-out ...
