Salt Tectonics
Pure and applied research in salt tectonics comprises a mix of physical and mathematical modeling and seismic-based mapping and structural-stratigraphic analysis of some of the world's most spectacular salt basins. Projects of broader scope integrate salt-tectonics research into a framework of basin analysis, stratigraphy, and reservoir characterization.
