Abstract/Description:

This publication helps scientists quickly sort through the entire spectrum of knowledge of salt tectonics, isolate relevant information, and find pathways to more-detailed information. Included in the zip file is an interactive atlas of salt structures and associated sediment geometries that contains more than 1,300 annotated images of salt structures, with detailed captions that discuss key principles. All images are grouped into structural styles on the basis of a geometric classification and include field exposures (outcrop views, geologic maps, aerial photographs, and satellite images), seismic sections, geologic cross sections, conceptual sketches, and animations.
