How is a turbidite actually deposited?
Ge, Zhiyuan; Nemec, Wojciech; Vellinga, Age; Gawthorpe, Robert Leslie (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The deposition of a classic turbidite by a surge-type turbidity current, as envisaged by conceptual models, is widely considered a discrete event of continuous sediment accumulation at a falling rate by the gradually waning ... -
Impact of normal faulting and pre-rift salt tectonics on the structural style of salt-influenced rifts: the Late Jurassic Norwegian Central Graben, North Sea
Ge, Zhiyuan; Gawthorpe, Rob; Rotevatn, Atle; Thomas, Michel Bøgh (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-10)Studies of salt‐influenced rift basins have focused on individual or basin‐scale fault system and/or salt‐related structure. In contrast, the large‐scale rift structure, namely rift segments and rift accommodation zones ... -
Minibasin depocentre migration during diachronous salt welding, offshore Angola
Ge, Zhiyuan; Gawthorpe, Rob; Rotevatn, Atle; Zijerveld, Leo; Jackson, Christopher; Oluboyo, Ayodeji P. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Salt tectonics is an important part of the geological evolution of many continental margins, yet the four‐dimensional evolution of the minibasins, the fundamental building block of these and many other salt basins, remains ... -
Overprinting translational domains in passive margin salt basins: insights from analogue modelling
Ge, Zhiyuan; Rosenau, Matthias; Warsitzka, Michael; Gawthorpe, Rob (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-08-02)Current models of gravitational tectonics on the structural styles of salt-influenced passive margins typically depict domains of upslope extension and corresponding downslope contraction separated by a mid-slope domain ... -
Progressive tilting of salt-bearing continental margins controls thin-skinned deformation
Ge, Zhiyuan; Rosenau, Matthias; Warsitzka, Michael; Gawthorpe, Rob (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)As a primary driving force, margin tilting is crucial for gravity-driven thin-skinned salt tectonics. We investigated how instant versus progressive margin tilting mechanisms influence salt tectonics using an analogue ... -
Spatial and temporal variations in minibasin geometry and evolution in salt tectonic provinces: Lower Congo Basin, offshore Angola
Ge, Zhiyuan; Gawthorpe, Robert; Zijerveld, Leo; Oluboyo, Ayodeji P. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)In passive margin salt basins, the distinct kinematic domains of thin‐skinned extension, translation and contraction exert important controls on minibasin evolution. However, the relationship between various salt minibasin ... -
Turbidites, topography and tectonics: Evolution of submarine channel-lobe systems in the salt-influenced Kwanza Basin, offshore Angola
Howlett, Danielle; Gawthorpe, Rob; Ge, Zhiyuan; Rotevatn, Atle; Jackson, Christopher A.-L. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Understanding the evolution of submarine channel‐lobe systems on salt‐influenced slopes is challenging as these systems react to subtle, syn‐depositional changes in sea‐floor topography. The impact of large blocking ...
