Evaporite-karst processes, landforms, and environmental problems [PDF]
, 2008 Evaporite karst is widespread, but relatively unknown when compared with carbonate karst; this special issue addresses that lack of familiarity. Evaporite rocks have much higher solubilities and faster dissolution rates than carbonate rocks and they also

Geosciences, 2019 Although the thermal effect of large salt tongues and allochthonous salt sheets in passive margins is described in the literature, little is known about the thermal effect of salt structures in confined rift basins where sub-vertical, closely spaced salt

Reservoir leakage along concentric faults in the Southern North Sea: implications for the deployment of CCS and EOR techniques [PDF]
, 2016 High-quality 3D seismic and borehole data in the Broad Fourteens Basin, Southern North Sea, is used to investigate newly recognised concentric faults formed in salt-withdrawal basins flanking reactivated salt structures.

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 ...

Salt Diapir‐Driven Recycling of Gas Hydrate
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023 AbstractBy harnessing both hypothetical, synthetic basin and gas hydrate (GH) system models and real‐world models of well‐studied salt diapir‐associated GH sites at Green Canyon (Gulf of Mexico) and Blake Ridge (U.S. Atlantic coast), we propose and demonstrate salt movement (and in particular, diapirism) to be a new mechanism for the recycling of ...

3D modelling from outcrop data in a salt tectonic context: Example from the Inceyol mini-basin, Sivas Basin, Turkey [PDF]
, 2016 International audienceWe propose a 3D modelling strategy of the encased mini-basin of Inceyol in Sivas (Turkey). The challenge lies in the combination of sparse outcrop data and the complex interpretive geometry of geological structures that comes from ...

Geology of the Eastern Prebetic Zone at the Jumilla region (SE Iberia) [PDF]
, 2018 This article presents a geological map and cross-sections at 1:50,000 scale covering an area of 609 km2 of the Eastern Prebetic Zone (SE Iberia). The structure of the studied area is characterized by an NW-directed fold-and-thrust belt and inactive salt ...

Surface Deformation and Salt Budget of an Active Salt Fountain, Finu in the Zagros Mountains, Iran, Using Persistent Scatterer Interferometry [PDF]
LithosphereIn subaerial salt diapirs, salt buoyancy drives the vertical flow of salt in the feeder, salt extrusion, and gravity spreading on the surface. The shape of these diapirs is controlled by the balance between buoyancy forces, gravity spreading on the ...

Green Hydrogen Storage in an Underground Cavern: A Case Study in Salt Diapir of Spain
Applied Sciences, 2022 The Poza de la Sal diapir is a closed circular depression with Cretaceous Mesozoic materials, formed by gypsum, Keuper clays, and a large extension of salt in the center with intercalations of ophite.
