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 ...
