Turbidites, Topography and Tectonics: Evolution of Submarine Channel-lobe Systems in the Salt-influenced Kwanza Basin, offshore Angola

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 control the routes and depositions of the turbidite systems.

Spatial and temporal variations in minibasin geometry and evolution in salt tectonic provinces: Lower Congo Basin, offshore Angola

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.

Minibasin depocentre migration during diachronous salt welding, offshore Angola

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.
