Salt in the Earth Sciences Basin Analysis and Salt Tectonics

A comprehensive review of giant salt basins, salt tectonic events, and their global implications
Salt is formed when water rich in evaporite minerals accumulates on the Earth's surface and then evaporates. Over time, pressure and tectonics change the structure and shape of salt layers. Recent technological advances have improved the interpretation and modeling of subsurface salt structures.
Salt in the Earth Sciences: Basin Analysis and Salt Tectonicspresents a global overview of giant salt basins formed under diverse tectonic settings, connecting salt deposition with tectonic events, climate change, and more.
Volume highlights include:
Stratigraphic and structural features of giant salt basinsTheories for the origin of salt giants and their deep crustal architectureAccumulations of hydrocarbon resources in salt basinsGlobal examples of giant salt basinsSalt and shale tectonic models, including salt and mud diapirism, magmatism, and salt dissolutionCorrelations with plate tectonics, climate changes, global glaciations, and major volcanic eventsExtreme environments associated with evaporite deposition on Earth and other planets of the solar system
