Landscape evolution in tectonically active areas results from complex interactions, competitions, and balances among tectonics, climate, and surface processes, which have been demonstrated across mountain chain systems on geological timescales by emerging dating techniques such as cosmogenic nuclides and low-temperature thermochronology (Burbank et al., 1996(Burbank et al., , 2003Liu-Zeng et al., 2018). Subaerial salt exposure (buried salt sequences squeezed back to the surface), characterized by gravitational instability and vulnerability to climate and tectonic activity (Talbot & Pohjola, 2009;Talbot & Rogers, 1980), provides a new perspective to explore these interactions on a much shorter timescale by quantifying the surface salt kinematics. Additionally, salt motion controls the geological evolution of many petroliferous basins and creates fluid flow traps for oil and gas; salt diapirs can serve as naturally applicable sites for engineering projects, such as gas storage, radioactive waste disposal, and mining (Koyi, 2001;Talbot & Rogers, 1980). Nevertheless, changes in salt flux due to surface interactions of
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
