Abstract: Salt diapirs dominate the structure in many sedimentary basins and control the preservation and migration of hydrocarbon. The formation of salt diapirs generally falls into two endmember models: active (up-building) and passive (down-building) diapirism. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/bre.70071
Abstract: Salt tectonics exerts a fundamental control on both the storage potential for CO2 and hydrogen and the formation of hydrocarbon traps across numerous basins, including the North German Basin. Here, we investigate salt dynamics within… read more here.

DOI: 10.1306/05212020001
Abstract: Existing definitions for passive and active salt diapirism are somewhat overlapping and ambiguous. These terms are also equated to downbuilding and upbuilding, respectively, which are problematic concepts as originally conceived and even as subsequently modified.… read more here.
