Characteristics of cold seeps at different geologic settings are the subject of this review
primarily based on results of the Research Consortium SFB 574. Criteria are drawn from …

Deepwater fold and thrust belts (DWFTBs) are classified into near-field stress-driven Type 1
systems confined to the sedimentary section, and Type 2 systems deformed by either far …

Forty years after the image of the Mediterranean transformed into a giant salty lake was first
conceived, the fascinating history of the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC) still arouses great …

Salt tectonics at passive margins is currently interpreted as a gravity-driven process but
according to two different types of models: i) pure spreading only driven by differential …

The late Miocene evolution of the Mediterranean Basin is characterized by major changes in
connectivity, climate and tectonic activity resulting in unprecedented environmental and …

On continental margins, oxidation of methane-rich fluids from the sediment often leads to
formation of authigenic carbonate pavements on the seafloor. The biogeochemical …

Detailed surface and subsurface structural data indicate that the Mesozoic-Cenozoic
deformation history of Egypt witnessed four main phases of deformation related to the …

Abstract The late Miocene Messinian salinity crisis (MSC) was a significant oceanographic
event that caused widespread evaporitic accumulation throughout the Mediterranean Basin …

This paper presents an overview of the evolution of the Nile deep‐sea turbidite system
during the last 200 kyr, over a series of glacial to interglacial cycles. Six individual deep‐sea …

The Messinian salinity crisis (MSC)[Hsü et al., 1973] has deeply shaped the Mediterranean
landscape and triggered large sedimentary deposits (evaporites and clastics) in the deep …
