This review paper examines deformation adjacent to salt stocks and walls and beneath salt
sheets, with a focus on passive salt rise or emplacement and structures ranging from large …

Existing definitions for passive and active salt diapirism are somewhat overlap** and
ambiguous. These terms are also equated to downbuilding and upbuilding, respectively …

Salt tectonics on passive margins are driven by sediment loading and gliding with minimal
influence from basement-involved tectonics and is associated with variable and complex salt …

We use a multiscale study to investigate the strain record in the continental sandstones-filled
minibasins of the Sivas Basin. Located on the central Anatolian Plateau, the Sivas basin is a …

Abstract The Red Sea is an important example of a continental rift transitioning slowly to an
oceanic basin. However, structures that can inform us of how that transition occurred have …

The base of the gas hydrate stability zone (GHSZ) is a critical interface, providing a first-
order estimate of gas hydrate distribution. Sensitivity to thermobaric conditions makes its …

Diapir piercement through the ocean floor marks the final stages of a dynamic migration
path. Once exhumed, a diapir extrudes from the seafloor, placing an obstacle for the flow of …

We use finite element numerical modeling to show that carbonate platform morphology is a
control on syndepositional deformation in steep-walled carbonate platforms. We simulate …

Rayleigh-Taylor models for diapirism predict that diapirs should develop with characteristic
spacings, whereas other models predict varied spacings. The deep-water Miocene …

The trends of faults and fractures in overburden next to a salt diapir are generally considered
to be either parallel to the salt margin to form concentric patterns, or at right angles to the salt …
