Terra infirma: Understanding salt tectonics

MR Hudec, MPA Jackson - Earth-Science Reviews, 2007 - Elsevier
Following common usage, we broaden the term “salt” to include all rock bodies composed
primarily of halite (NaCl). Salt is mechanically weak and flows like a fluid, even at …

3-D Structural geological models: Concepts, methods, and uncertainties

F Wellmann, G Caumon - Advances in geophysics, 2018 - Elsevier
The Earth below ground is the subject of interest for many geophysical as well as geological
investigations. Even though most practitioners would agree that all available information …

[图书][B] Salt tectonics: Principles and practice

MPA Jackson, MR Hudec - 2017 - books.google.com
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 …

Concepts in halokinetic-sequence deformation and stratigraphy

KA Giles, MG Rowan - Geological Society, London, Special …, 2012 - lyellcollection.org
Halokinetic sequences are unconformity-bound packages of thinned and folded strata
adjacent to passive diapirs. Hook halokinetic sequences have narrow zones of deformation …

Tectonics of sedimentary basins, with revised nomenclature

RV Ingersoll - Tectonics of sedimentary basins: Recent …, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Actualistic plate‐tectonic models are the best framework within which to understand the
tectonics of sedimentary basins. Sedimentary basins develop in divergent, intraplate …

Near-salt deformation in La Popa basin, Mexico, and the northern Gulf of Mexico: A general model for passive diapirism

MG Rowan, TF Lawton, KA Giles… - AAPG …, 2003 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Strata adjacent to exposed diapirs in La Popa basin, northeastern Mexico, comprise stacked
halokinetic sequences consisting of unconformity-bounded packages of thinned and rotated …

Advance of allochthonous salt sheets in passive margins and orogens

MR Hudec, MPA Jackson - AAPG bulletin, 2006 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Allochthonous salt sheets advance in four ways:(1) extrusive advance,(2) open-toed
advance,(3) thrust advance, and (4) salt-wing intrusion. These mechanisms are determined …

Folding and fracturing of rocks adjacent to salt diapirs

MG Rowan, JA Muñoz, KA Giles, E Roca… - Journal of Structural …, 2020 - Elsevier
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 …

Foldbelts with early salt withdrawal and diapirism: Physical model and examples from the northern Gulf of Mexico and the Flinders Ranges, Australia

MG Rowan, BC Vendeville - Marine and Petroleum Geology, 2006 - Elsevier
A physical experiment shows that shortening applied to existing diapirs and minibasins
produces anomalous structural styles that are unlike those of more typical foldbelts. Strong …

Three-dimensional implicit stratigraphic model building from remote sensing data on tetrahedral meshes: theory and application to a regional model of La Popa Basin …

G Caumon, G Gray, C Antoine… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2012 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
