Following common usage, we broaden the term “salt” to include all rock bodies composed
primarily of halite (NaCl). Salt is mechanically weak and flows like a fluid, even at …

The structural dynamics of salt systems–salt tectonics—encompasses any deformation
involving salt or other evaporites. It includes halokinesis, in which deformation is driven …

Scaled physical models illustrate the importance of progradation as a trigger for salt
tectonics and formation of allochthonous sheets. Regional extension and contraction were …

A promising option for storing large-scale quantities of green gases (eg, hydrogen) is in
subsurface rock salt caverns. The mechanical performance of salt caverns utilized for long …

This paper discusses an approach to predict the creep behaviour of rock salt using uniaxial
compression testing machine, as the conventional creep testing equipments are expensive …

Ceres, the largest body in the asteroid belt (940 km diameter), provides a unique opportunity
to study the interior structure of a volatile-rich dwarf planet. Variations in a planetary body's …

We have compared several methods of studying thermochemical convection in a
Boussinesq fluid at infinite Prandtl number. For the representation of chemical heterogeneity …

Why do salt-floored minibasins subside? An almost universal explanation is that salt is
forced from beneath the sinking basin by the weight of its sedimentary fill. This explanation is …

Analogue sandbox models have been set up to study thrust systems formed above two
decollements and affected by erosion and sedimentation. The deformation was imaged by X …

Salt flows downslope, irrespective of overburden. In salt basins on passive margins, the salt
will tilt and flow towards the ocean immediately after continental rifting has ended due to …
