Distinguishing the effect of diapir growth on magnetic fabrics of syn-diapiric overburden rocks: Basque-Cantabrian basin, Northern Spain [PDF]
, 2017 An analysis of Anisotropy of Magnetic Susceptibility was done on Aptian–Albian sediments from the Basque–Cantabrian basin. Samples were collected from 39 sites in the halokinetic sequences of the Bakio, Bermeo, Guernica and Mungia diapirs; 28 sites were ...

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
