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 …

Active diapirism has received very limited attention from the geomorphological and
Quaternary Science perspective, despite the role played by this ground deformation process …

In this manuscript, we present Version 1.0 of the World Atlas of Last Interglacial Shorelines
(WALIS), a global database of sea-level proxies and samples dated to Marine Isotope Stage …

To settle in a given area, man has to deal with the surrounding environment and the
geomorphological processes that shaped it. Landscape defines the available resources and …

We investigate the depth and geometry of faulting within a cluster of buried, reverse faulting
earthquakes that struck Qeshm island, in the Zagros fold-and-thrust belt, over a four year …

The remains of former lakes show that in the past the Arabian Peninsula experienced much
wetter conditions than today. The last of these humid periods dates to about 10 to 5.5 ka …

However salt has a viscous rheology, overburden rocks adjacent to salt diapirs have a brittle
rheology. Evidence of deformation within the overburden has been described from diapirs …

In diapir flanks, unconformity-bounded sedimentary packages associated with gravity-driven
deposits, controlled by the ratio between the rates of sediment accumulation and diapir …

Abstract The Holocene of The Gulf, also referred to as the Arabian or Persian Gulf, is
frequently cited as a classic example of a mixed carbonate-siliciclastic ramp system for an …

Slightly inclined Holocene marine terraces cover parts of two circular salt diapirs (Hormoz
and Namakdan) in the Persian Gulf. Their relative altitude above present sea level results …
