Journal ArticleDOI
The fall of diapirs during thin-skinned extension
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed that many half-grabens above diapirs form by regional thin-skinned extension, which is supported by dynamic scaled physical modelling, theoretical reasoning and observations from seismic sections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Terra infirma: Understanding salt tectonics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors define the term "salt" to include all rock bodies composed primarily of halite (NaCl) and define a variety of salt-sheet lineages depending on the geometry of the feeder and the tectonic setting.
BookDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
External shapes, strain rates, and dynamics of salt structures
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the megascopic structure and large-scale dynamics of salt structures and classified salt tectonics on the basis of change of gravity potential energy that promotes or retards salt flow.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rheological and tectonic modeling of salt provinces
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a sound scaling approach for geological deformations involving brittle overburdens on ductile substrata, which is useful for generating new concepts and for reconstructing the structural evolution of hydrocarbon traps.
