We use high quality 3D seismic to document and analysize the evolution of a turbidite system and its interaction with salt-related structures. We show that the growth and decay of salt related structures result in variations in seafloor topography which ultimately controls the routes and depositions of the turbidte system.
We use high quality 3D seismic to document the evolution of a network of minibasins and their associated salt-related structures. We show that minibasin initiation and subsequent evolution can be controlled by different mechanisms and therefore categorising minibasins into simple domain-related types is problematic.
Salt-bearing passive margins have different structural styles and kinematic evolution under progressive margin tilting and instant margin tilting,respectively.
We use numerical simulations to study turbidity current responses, including the hydraulic behaviour and associated deposition, to typical fold and diapir-like topography in deepwater fold and thrust belt.
We use high‐quality seismic data to show depocentres record minibasin subsidence dynamics and associated salt weld processes. And depocentres can migrate along‐ and across‐strike under the control of salt weld.
We use analogue modelling method to demonstrate the issues related to the formation of the translational domain and its evolution during thin-skinned salt tectonic deformation.
We use high quality 3D seismic dataset to demonstarte the interaction between large-scale rift architecture (rift segment vs rift accommodation zone) and complex pre-rift salt-related structures.
We use numerical simulation to study reactions of turbidity current to typical half-graben scale normal faults in rift basins. We find the fault-related topography has a direct impact upon its flow behaviour and preferential area of deposition.
We use analogue modelling to study the structural style and kinematic evolution of thin-skinned salt tectonic deformation in the Jequitinhonha Basin, Brazil.
