Pull-apart basin formation and development in narrow transform zones with application to the Dead Sea Basin [PDF]
Contrary to other examples, like Death Valley, California, and the Sea of Marmara, Turkey, the Dead Sea-type pull-apart basins form within a narrow transform corridor between strike-slip faults that are less than 10 km apart, much smaller than the ...

Ferromanganese nodules and micro-hardgrounds associated with the Cadiz Contourite Channel (NE Atlantic): Palaeoenvironmental records of fluid venting and bottom currents [PDF]
Ferromanganese nodule fields and hardgrounds have recently been discovered in the Cadiz Contourite Channel in the Gulf of Cadiz (850–1000 m). This channel is part of a large contourite depositional system generated by the Mediterranean Outflow Water ...

Mapping salt diapirs and salt diapir-affected areas using MLP neural network model and ASTER data
Abstract This study employs visible-near infrared and short wave infrared datasets of Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) to map salt diapirs and salt diapir-affected areas using Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) in the Zagros Folded Belt, Iran, and introduces the role of earth observation technology and a type of digital ...

Fluid flow through carbonate platforms as evidence for deep-seated reservoirs in Northwest Australia [PDF]
Fluid flow features in carbonate platforms of the outer Browse Basin, Northwest Australia, are investigated using 3D seismic and borehole data. During the Cenozoic, the study area evolved from a carbonate ramp to a rimmed platform with isolated carbonate

ABSTRACT We present novel 3D subsidence data enabling vertical movements' quantification during the early formation of the Pyrenean retro‐wedge. From Cenomanian to Turonian times, subsidence is relatively low (~26 ± 10 m/Myr), corresponding to a brief 10 Myr thermal re‐equilibration of the European lithosphere following the hyperextended rift episode ...

Geology of the Salinas De Rosío Diapir (Basque-Cantabrian Basin, Spain)
This study presents a new geological map of the Salinas de Rosío diapir (Basque-Cantabrian Basin, northern Spain), based on detailed fieldwork, interpretation of high-resolution topographic data, and integration of existing geological information.

Superposed deformation straddling the continental-oceanic transition in deep-water Angola [PDF]
The Angolan margin is the type area for raft tectonics. New seismic data reveal the contractional buffer for this thin-skinned extension. A 200-km-long composite section from the Lower Congo Basin and Kwanza Basin illustrates a complex history of ...

Formation and growth of diapirs in contractional settings: the Mediano anticline and Clamosa diapir case study (Southern Pyrenees) [PDF]
At the northwestern termination of the South Pyrenean Central Salient, thrust imbrication, detachment folding and diapirism are structurally and genetically related. The La Fueba imbricate system has been folded by the Mediano detachment anticline, while

Abstract Salt's inherent weakness and capacity for ductile deformation create significant mechanical contrasts that locally perturb the stress field in surrounding rocks, often leading to deviations from regional tectonic stresses. Variations in local stress are a critical factor for wellbore stability, seal integrity, and fluid flow in subsurface ...
