Analog, or physical, models have been used to investigate problems in structural geology
and tectonics for over two centuries. Together with field observations and theoretical …

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 …

Stringers represent fragments of competent, brittle layers, formerly interstratified within a
layered evaporite sequence (LES) that are entrained and deformed by viscous flow. To …

Inversion of sedimentary basins has been the subject of increasing research since the early
1980's. The kinematics of basin inversion, as well as the relationship between the …

We used scaled physical models to investigate how buried, dormant diapirs are rejuvenated
by lateral squeezing. In Stage 1, regional shortening increased the pressure of the source …

Basement inherited structures represent a significant factor affecting thrust propagation
dynamics during the growth of fold-and-thrust belts. In this study inspirited from seismic data …

Abstract The central High Atlas (Morocco) constitutes a diapiric province that hosts a
complex array of elongated diapirs and minibasins that formed during the Lower Jurassic rift …

The Mesozoic history of the Pyrenean region was dominated by the opening of the North
Atlantic Ocean and the left-lateral movement of Iberia relative to Europe. Most deformation …

Evaporites play a major role in the evolution of an orogenic wedge, modifying the shape and
the deformation kinematics inside the wedge. Salt tectonics can occur at various stages, but …

In this field study we reinterpret the narrow eastern North Pyrenean Zone, France, as an
inverted salt-rich transtensional rift system based on identification of halokinetic depositional …
