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 …

Salt tectonics is the study of how and why salt structures evolve and the three-dimensional
forms that result. A fascinating branch of geology in itself, salt tectonics is also vitally …

Scaled analogue models of thin-skinned simultaneous shortening above adjacent viscous
and frictional décollements simulate the effect of Hormuz salt on the shortening in the Zagros …

Scaled physical models illustrate the importance of progradation as a trigger for salt
tectonics and formation of allochthonous sheets. Regional extension and contraction were …

Seismic data from the Angolan margin and laboratory experiments on brittle-ductile models
are used to study thin-skinned deformation above the salt at margin scale, which is …

We present an analysis of compressional deformation at the front of a gravity spreading
system above salt using seismic data from the Angolan margin and laboratory experiments …

In recent years, exploration of the Lower Congo Basin in Angola has focused on the
Neogene turbidite sand play of the Malembo Formation. Gravity tectonics has played an …

Passive margins underlain by a salt detachment are typically interpreted as kinematically
linked zones of updip extension and downdip contraction separated by a zone of translation …

Thin-skinned gravitational gliding of sediments above a detachment layer of salt or shale is
common on passive margins. Changes in surface slope result in a domain of extension …

Advancing ice sheets have a strong impact on the earth's topography. For example, they
leave behind an erosional unconformity, bulldozer the underlying strata and form tunnel …
