InSAR surface deformation and numeric modeling unravel an active salt diapir in southern Romania [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Salt diapirism is often associated with potential hydrocarbon energy resources, and detecting active diapirs can strongly affect the prospect to discover new gas and oilfields.

An extensive pockmark field on the upper Atlantic margin of Southeast Brazil: spatial analysis and its relationship with salt diapirism [PDF]
Heliyon, 2017 We present new evidence for the existence of a large pockmark field on the continental slope of the Santos Basin, offshore southeast Brazil. A recent high-resolution multibeam bathymetric survey revealed 984 pockmarks across a smooth seabed at water ...

Structural control of inherited salt structures during inversion of a domino basement-fault system from an analogue modelling approach [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2023 The geometries of inverted rift systems are different depending on a large variety of factors that include, among others, the presence of decoupling layers, the thickness of the pre- and syn-extension successions, or structural inheritances.

Anatomy and evolution of the Astoin diapiric complex, sub-Alpine fold-and-thrust belt (France)
BSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin, 2021 The structure of the southwestern branch of the Alpine orogen is affected by the extensive Late Triassic evaporites. These evaporites have been involved in polyphased salt tectonics since the early Liassic, coeval with the Tethyan rifting, and are the ...

Structures in Shallow Marine Sediments Associated with Gas and Fluid Migration
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 Geological structure changes, including deformations and ruptures, developed in shallow marine sediments are well recognized but were not systematically reviewed in previous studies. These structures, generally developed at a depth less than 1000 m below

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

Geodynamic Modeling With Uncertain Initial Geometries
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022 Geodynamic codes have become fast and efficient enough to facilitate sensitivity analysis of rheological parameters. With sufficient data, they can even be inverted for.
