Coupling Crustal-Scale Rift Architecture With Passive Margin Salt Tectonics: A Geodynamic Modeling Approach
Pichel, Leonardo Muniz; Huismans, Ritske Sipke; Gawthorpe, Rob; Faleide, Jan Inge; Theunissen, Thomas Louis Roger Dominique (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Continental rifted margins are often associated with widespread, thick evaporite (i.e., salt) deposits and pronounced salt tectonics. The majority of salt basins formed during the latest stages of rifting, prior to continental ... -
Late-syn- to post-rift salt tectonics on wide rifted margins—Insights from geodynamic modeling
Pichel, Leonardo Muniz; Huismans, Ritske Sipke; Gawthorpe, Rob; Faleide, Jan Inge; Theunissen, Thomas Louis Roger Dominique (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Rifted margins are often associated with widespread and thick evaporite (salt) deposits and pronounced salt tectonics. The largest salt basins formed during the latest stages of rifting, immediately prior to continental ... -
Mantle exhumation at magma-poor rifted margins controlled by frictional shear zones
Theunissen, Thomas Louis Roger Dominique; Huismans, Ritske Sipke (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The transition zone from continental crust to the mature mid-ocean ridge spreading center of the Iberia-Newfoundland magma-poor rifted margins is mostly composed of exhumed mantle characterized by highs and domes with ... -
Relative continent - mid-ocean ridge elevation: a reference case for isostasy in geodynamics
Theunissen, Thomas Louis Roger Dominique; Huismans, Ritske Sipke; Lu, Gang; Riel, Nicolas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The choice of crustal and mantle densities in numerical geodynamic models is usually based on convention. The isostatic component of the topography is not calibrated to fit observations resulting in not very well constrained ...
