This global study of 31 off-shore back-arc basins and subbasins (BABs) identifies their
principal characteristics based on a broad spectrum of geophysical and subduction-related …

Evaporite deposition and seafloor spreading are two salient geological processes in the
geological history of the Red Sea. We piece together the available evidence about rift …

We present an updated synthesis of the widely accepted 'single-arc Pacific-origin'and
'Yucatán-rotation'models for Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico evolution, respectively. Fourteen …

The Gulf of Mexico Basin is one of the most prolific hydrocarbon-producing basins in the
world, with an estimated endowment of 200 billion barrels of oil equivalent. This book …

We present a new hypothesis for the Jurassic plate-tectonic evolution of the Gulf of Mexico
basin and discuss how this evolution influenced Jurassic salt tectonics. Four interpretations …

Passive‐margin salt basins are classified as prerift, syn‐stretching, syn‐thinning, and syn‐
exhumation. Prerift salt, such as the Triassic Keuper in the Western Pyrenees, undergoes …

We present an updated, internally consistent synthesis of the Permo-Triassic assembly and
Mesozoic evolution of the Gulf of Mexico, Mexico, Florida–Bahamas and northern South …

The southern Brazilian salt basin, comprising the three sub-basins Santos, Campos and
Espirito Santo, was deposited over a pre-existing rifted basin with c. 1–2 km of relief …

Abstract Interpretation of long‐offset 2D depth‐imaged seismic data suggests that outer
continental margins collapse and tilt basinward rapidly as rifting yields to seafloor spreading …

The stratigraphic evolution of ancient salt giants is controversial, mainly due to the absence
of modern analogues that are of comparable scale and thickness and that occur in similar …
