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.

Jahani Salt Diapir, Iran: hydrogeology, karst features and effect on surroundings environment
International Journal of Speleology, 2017 The Jahani Salt Diapir (JSD), with an area of 54 km2, is an active diapir in the Simply Folded Belt of the Zagros Orogeny, in the south of Iran. Most of the available studies on this diapir are focused on tectonics.

Control of salt structures on hydrocarbons in the passive continental margin of West Africa
Petroleum Exploration and Development, 2011 Salt basins along the passive continental margin of West Africa are becoming one of the most attractive areas for hydrocarbon exploration. The oil and gas discovered recently are related to salt structures.

Submarine channels ‘swept’ downstream after bend cutoff in salt basins
The Depositional Record, 2020 Channel‐bend expansion and downstream translation, as well as vertical movements by aggradation and incision, set the stratigraphic architecture of channelized depositional systems.

Regional Heat Flow Analysis Reveals Frictionally Weak Dead Sea Fault
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021 The strength of faults was vigorously debated for years, but lately a growing number of studies suggest that faults are weaker than originally suggested.

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

Advective Heat Transport and the Salt Chimney Effect: A Numerical Analysis
Geofluids, 2018 We conducted numerical simulations of coupled fluid and heat transport in an offshore, buried salt diapir environment to determine the effects of advective heat transport and its relation to the so-called “salt chimney effect.” Model sets were designed ...
