Stress and Rock Failure Near Salt Bodies: Insights From Field Observations, Kinematic Modeling, and Mechanical Analysis Near Arches National Park, Paradox Basin, Utah

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
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 ...

Fault dislocations as fluid barriers of hydrocarbon deposits near salt domes in the Dnipro-Donets Depression, Ukraine

Geo&Bio
Within the Dnipro-Donets aulacogen, Devonian salt stocks (diapirs) are widely developed. The suprastock, interstock, and nearstock areas associated with these diapirs have consistently drawn the interest of researchers in the Dnipro-Donets Depression for

Experimental Verification of a Two‐Dimensional Inverse Method for Turbidity Currents Using a Deep Neural Network

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Turbidites have been widely studied as indicators of the occurrences and magnitudes of paleo‐tsunamis and paleo‐earthquakes. Inversion to estimate flow conditions from turbidites offers valuable insights into the magnitudes of paleo‐seismic and tsunami events.

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.

The regional evolution of a dryland fluvio‐aeolian and lacustrine succession in response to allocyclic forcing: insights from the Early Permian Cutler Group, Utah, USA

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 2, Page 297-354, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Preserved allocyclic signatures in the rock record often reflect basin‐scale climatic variability and serve as key proxies for correlating ancient dryland successions. The notion of climate cyclicity, however, remains largely untested on regionally constrained, outcrop‐calibrated studies.

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 ...

Dynamic Controls on Salt Structures and Translation Velocity at Continental Rifted Margins

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Salt tectonics at rifted margins involves intricate interactions between weak, viscous evaporite layers and brittle sedimentary rocks. Geophysical data and geological interpretation offer valuable insights into evaporite structure formation and the average translation rate of evaporite and sediment layers on time scales of several million ...

“Salt Tectonics” on Titan: Radial Labyrinths as Topographic Expressions of Solid‐State Flow

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Surface observations of Saturn's moon Titan revealed features characterized as dissected, elevated plateaus with high valley density known as labyrinth terrains. Of this terrain class, a subtype referred to as radial labyrinth is described as dome‐shaped uplifts with radial channel patterns.

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.

Transient simulations of large-scale hydrogeological processes causing temperature and salinity anomalies in the Tiberias Basin [PDF]

, 2015
Hot and salty waters occur in the surroundings of the Lake Tiberias. Transient numerical simulations of thermally-driven flow without salinity effects show that mixed convection can explain the upsurge of thermal waters through permeable faults and the ...
