Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Stretching and Contraction of Extensional Basins With Pre-Rift Salt: A Numerical Modeling Approach
We present a series of 2D thermo-mechanical numerical experiments of thick-skinned crustal extension including a pre-rift salt horizon and subsequent thin-, thick-skinned, or mixed styles of convergence accompanied by surface processes.

How Fast Can Minibasins Translate Down a Slope? Observations from 2D Numerical Models
Minibasins are important features in salt-bearing basins and are abundant in salt-detached continental slopes where the salt and the overlying sedimentary cover (including minibasins) undergo seaward translation due to gravity.

Ionic Liquid Electrolytes for Extreme Temperature Conditions: Challenges and Perspective
Ionic liquids (ILs) have gained great attention as safe electrolyte components in recent years. This review elucidates the temperature effects on IL‐based electrolytes from molecular configurations, physicochemical properties, and interfacial chemistry, raises the challenges and design strategies operating at low‐ and HT, providing valuable guidance ...

Salt tectonics refers to structural deformation involving bodies composed of evaporite minerals. The Dutch subsurface is characterized by a thick sequence of Zechstein salt deposited during the Late Permian. Its deformation in response to several tectonic phases had a pronounced influence on Meso-Cenozoic tectonostratigraphic and depositional evolution.

Contribution of gravity gliding in salt-bearing rift basins – a new experimental setup for simulating salt tectonics under the influence of sub-salt extension and tilting [PDF]
Basin-scale salt flow and the evolution of salt structures in rift basins is mainly driven by sub- and supra-salt faulting and sedimentary loading. Crustal extension is often accompanied and followed by thermal subsidence leading to tilting of the graben
