Allochthonous salt, structure and stratigraphy of the north-eastern Gulf of Mexico. Part I: Stratigraphy

Closure of circular arc cracks under general loading: effects on stress intensity factors

“…Arcuate faults and fractures form caldera walls of volcanoes (e.g., Cole et al 2005), bound salt domes (e.g., Wu et al 1990), and can be found elsewhere in Earth's brittle crust (e.g., Shelton 1984;Tilbrook et al 2005). The circular arc crack problem has also served as a catalyst for testing new numerical approaches (e.g., Bhargava and Kumar 1993;Khan and Biswas 2006;Lorentzon and Eriksson 2000;Shen and Fan 2004) in various materials (e.g., Chao and Shen 1993;Gao and Chiu 1992).…”

“…comm.) and were correlated with lithological information from previous studies on the northeastern Gulf of Mexico (Rowan et al, 2000;Weimer, 1990;Weimer & Buffler, 1992;Wu, Vail, & Cramez, 1990a;Buffler, 1991).…”

Introduction: the deformation of continental crust and Mike Coward's impact on its understanding

“…However, work on passive continental margins, such as the northern Gulf of Mexico (e.g. Humphris 1978;Wu et al 1990), showed that salt migration can be strongly asymmetrical, leading to down-slope migration both of the salt and the overlying sedimentary prism. Stewart & Coward (1995) were amongst the first to show that similar asymmetrical processes also occur, albeit on a smaller scale, on extensional tilt blocks within the southern North Sea.…”
