Understanding salt in orogenic settings: The evolution of ideas in the Romanian Carpathians

The Romanian Carpathians are of global importance in salt tectonics as they host the type locality for the term “diapir”. Although there are several historical reviews of worldwide salt tectonics, important aspects of how diapirism has been described and defined in the Romanian Carpathians are missing in these works.

Sequential vertical gas charge into multilayered sequences controlled by central conduits

Four sets of stacked amplitude anomalies are described from a 3D seismic survey acquired in Block A of the Dutch North Sea. The amplitude anomalies have a sub-circular planform and within each set they are stacked vertically, in that they have a high degree of spatial overlap in the vertical succession.
