On the Presence of Halokinetic Sequences, from Latest Aptian to Late Albian, NW Salt Province of Tunisia
The Halokinetic sequences formations have been interpreted as a response to variations in sediment accumulation rate vs. diapir-rise rate. The...

Deep-Circulating Salty-Fluids in Cambrils del Pirineu (Pyrenees, NE Iberian)
Salt springs in Cambrils del Pirineu (Pyrenees, NE Iberian Peninsula) are related to diapirism of Triassic (Keuper) evaporite-bearing deposits. Such...

Introduction
The principal motivation for understanding salt diapirism and tectonics (e.g., Hudec and Jackson, 2007) derives historically from the abundance of...
