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.
