The backstripping method that is widely used in basin analysis sometimes fails for salt-bearing basins because the highly mobile and buoyant salt deforms its sedimentary overburden. We present a numerical approach for 2-D ...
Scaled analogue models were used to study the effect of frictional and ductile detachments on thin-skinned extension. Models consisted of two halves; one half is the ductile and the other has a frictional detachment. ...
