Interactions Between Salt Tectonics and Crustal Tectonics in The Mediterranean

This study examines how the Messinian Salinity Crisis and the deposition of extensive evaporites, particularly mobile halite, have shaped the structure and evolution of Mediterranean margins. Using seismic data and analogue modeling, the work highlights how salt tectonics influences subsurface imaging, decouples tectonic signals, and responds to crustal movements, providing insights into margin geometry and evolution across diverse geodynamic settings.
