Kinematics and dynamics of salt tectonics in the Paradox Basin, Utah and Colorado : field observations and scaled modeling
… models were used to investigate initiation of salt tectonics driven by progradation and by thick-skinned extension and to investigate modification of pre-existing diapirs by subsequent regional extension and shortening, salt withdrawal and dissolution. Combined field mapping and physical …

Structural and Stratigraphic Reconstruction of the Whiting Dome Salt Structure in Viosca Knoll-Mississippi Canyon, GOM, Using 3D Seismic Data
<p>Understanding the complexities of salt tectonics is one of the most important factors regarding seismic interpretation of stratigraphy, structure, and geomorphology in the Gulf of Mexico. Evaluating the processes affecting recent mobilization of salt in the shallow, well-imaged section can help …

IDENTIFYING SALT SUTURE ZONES AND LITHOLOGICAL CHANGES OF THE LOUANN SALT IN THE GULF OF MEXICO BASIN, LA. U.S.A.
<p>The Louann Salt, a key evaporite unit in the Gulf of Mexico Basin, influences salt tectonics, hydrocarbon migration, and basin evolution. This study examines Louann Salt deposition and deformation within the Puma Diapir, focusing on mineralogical, geochemical, and structural features of suture …

Seismic-stratigraphic analysis of shelf-margin delta/slope fan and basin floor fan on high-latitude and middle-latitude margins (Ross Sea, Weddell Sea and Alabama/West Florida shelf): Paleoclimatic and eustatic implications
… Therefore, other factors (antecedent topography, salt tectonics and growth faulting) are deemed to be more important initiators of upper-slope canyon formation on the middle-latitude margin.

SEISMIC INTERPRETATION AND ANALYSIS OF THE ETOUFFEE RESERVOIR SANDS AND THE SURROUNDING AREA IN TERREBONNE PARISH, SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA
… Slumping, growth faulting, anticlines, and salt tectonics are only a few that are present here. One of the largest oil and gas discoveries during the 1990’s in South Louisiana was the Etouffee Prospect. Located south of Kent Bayou Field in Terrebonne Parish, the Etouffee Prospect developed …

Neotectonics Study Along The Frontal Thrust System Of The Fold-Thrust Belt Of Northwest Himalayas, Pakistan
… unknown in reference to the regional Himalayan tectonics. The geometry is constrained by integrating quantitative seismic structural interpretation with field structural data and 12m resolution DEM as fault-bend and detachment folds. This work suggests a single regional detachment in the Miocene …

Three-dimensional modeling of complex salt wall terminations in the Paradox Basin: implications for salt structure evolution, compartmentalizing fault trends and petroleum exploration
… Colorado, is a stunning geologic area for salt tectonics research. Characterized by the halite-rich Pennsylvanian Paradox Formation, this region provides pristine examples of the many structural and stratigraphic relationships associated with evolving salt structures. Formed during the …

Evolution of Late Cenozoic Minibasins and Growth Faulting, Green Canyon Area, Northwestern Gulf of Mexico
… faulting, the emplacement of allochthonous salt bodies and the evolution of small-scale Neogene depocenters overlying the mobile salt bodies (called ‘minibasins’). My study area is located in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico and lies along the continental shelf edge. The presence of salt …

The sedimentary record of seafloor uplift
… are linked to different uplift sources—including tectonics, magmatism, halokinesis, and fluid migration—to establish a framework for constraining the timing and dynamics of vertical deformation events across multiple spatial and temporal scales. To formulate and test the sedimentological and …

Investigating the Timing of initial Louann Salt Flow and Its Relationship with the Gilbertown Fault Zone, Southwest Alabama
<p>The Mesozoic Louann Salt extends through the northern GOM, extending onshore from eastern Texas to western Alabama and Florida. Along the landward terminus of the salt is a system of peripheral faults, including the Gilbertown Fault Zone bordering the Mississippi Interior Salt Basin to the north …
