Salt on the move: Multi stage evolution of salt diapirs in the Netherlands North Sea

Marine and Petroleum Geology, 2015
After more than half a century of research, the dynamics of salt tectonics in the North Sea remains a contentious issue with unresolved questions regarding triggering and driving mechanisms. The North Sea is now covered by high-quality 3D seismic datasets which allow new insights into the interplay between salt tectonics and sedimentation.

Towards a workflow to evaluate geological layering uncertainty on CO2 injection simulation

Applied Computing and Geosciences, 2023
We propose a workflow for updating 3D geological meshed models to test different layering scenarios and to assess their impact on the simulation of CO2 injection.

Tracing methane sources in shallow waters of the North Sea: Biogenic signatures and hydrocarbon transport near abandoned wells

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Numerous abandoned wells in the North Sea may provide gas, particularly methane (CH4), migration pathways by penetrating shallow, biogenic gas accumulations. However, related sampling campaigns have been largely contradictory and lack a substantial database. Research cruise MSM98 targeted the abandoned wells B18‐1, DOK 1‐X, B11‐2, THOR and D‐1

LiDAR mapping of the sedimentary rocks surrounding a salt diapir: a powerful tool to assist landslide identification and structural/depositional sequence analysis (Maestu diapir, N Spain)

Journal of Maps
A new 1:25.000 geological map is presented for a 26 × 22 km quadrangle containing the Maestu salt diapir and its sedimentary country rocks. A new mapping approach was followed to depict the distribution of interpreted late Cretaceous-Paleogene ...

Post‐Miocene Transtensional Opening of the Northern Red Sea

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The mechanism of opening, as well as the crustal characteristics of the northern Red Sea are subject of ongoing controversial scientific debate. With the objective of elucidating the nature of rifting in this area, a grid of 2D multi‐channel reflection seismic data was acquired off the Al Wajh carbonate platform (AWCP), and supplemented by ...

Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Salt‐ and Shale‐Detached Contractional Deformation, Mexican Northwestern Gulf of Mexico

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract In the northwestern Gulf of Mexico, gravity‐driven contractional deformation is recorded across the Salina del Bravo, the Perdido and Peripheral fold belts, and the Mexican Cordilleras. Integrating seismic interpretation, structural mapping, and analysis, we examine the spatial and temporal partitioning of shortening above three principal ...

Contrastive Analysis of Deep-Water Sedimentary Architectures in Central West African Passive Margin Basins During Late-Stage Continental Drift

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
The Lower Congo Basin (LCB) and the Niger Delta Basin (NDB), two end-member deep-water systems along the West African passive margin, exhibit contrasting sedimentary architectures despite shared geodynamic settings.

Timing of the Albano‐Hellenic Paleomagnetic Rotation

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The Aegean arc is the most prominent Mediterranean salient, characterized by significant paleomagnetic rotations along its limbs. Although it is well‐established that the external Ionian and Kruja zones of the Albano‐Hellenides underwent a ∼40° post‐Oligocene clockwise (CW) rotation relative to Africa/Adria, the rotation timing remains debated.

Structural Evolution of a Polyphase Salt‐Tectonic System From Syn‐Rift Extension to Syn‐Orogenic Deformation in the Middle Atlas (Oum Er Rbia Region, Morocco)

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Salt tectonics has received little attention in the Middle Atlas, despite the widespread occurrence of Triassic evaporites and their potential to exert first‐order control on basin architecture and deformation. This study presents the first integrated analysis of polyphase salt tectonics in the Middle Atlas, focusing on the Oum Er‐Rbia sector,
