Contrasting Styles of Salt-Tectonic Processes in the Ionian Zone (NW Greece and S Albania)

Abstract

The Ionian Zone in Greece and Albania is studied with surface geology, well information, and the interpretation of new seismic profiles • Triassic salt pillows, isolated thick diapirs, and elongated salt walls condition the style of this Alpine fold and thrust belt • Salt tectonics provides new clues about Alpine orogenic evolution, opening new opportunities for geologic storage in the region
