Geometry and kinematics of salt-detached ramp syncline basins

Galaxy Kinematics with SALT

The combination of dynamical and photometric properties of galaxies offers a largely un-tapped source of information on how galaxies assembled and where stars formed. Bi-dimensional kinematic measurements have been the stumbling block. The light-gathering power of SALT coupled with the high-throughput performance of the Prime Focus Imaging Spectrograph (PFIS) yield a superb facility for measuri...

Modelling Salt Transport in Baltic Basins

Water quality models combine fluid-flow relations with biological regressions, all on a spatially complex domain. For many applications, a computationally simple lumped parameter model with regressed parameters suffices, while for others where a more fundamental approach may be worth the extra development and computational effort. A simple example modelling the transport of salt in interconnect...

Geometry and kinematics of inversion tectonics

Geometry and kinematics of experimental antiformal stacks.

Sandbox experiments with different boundary conditions demonstrate that antiformal stacks result from a forward-breaking thrust sequence. An obstacle blocks forward thrust propagation and transfers the deformation back to the hinterland in a previously formed true duplex. In the hinterland, continued shortening causes faults to merge toward the tectonic transport direction until the older thrus...
