“…A eustatic sea level drop established terrestrial conditions in the Triassic Keuper (Nöldeke & Schwab, 1976;. E-W directed extension occurred in the Glückstadt Graben resulting in salt movement in the surrounding area (Frisch & Kockel, 1999;Jaritz, 1987;Maystrenko et al, 2006). A major erosional event occurred within the Keuper.…”

“…It consists of two segments, the southern Tornquist-Teisseyre Zone (TTZ) and the northern Sorgenfrei-Tornquist Zone (STZ). The latter represents the southwestern border between the stable Precambrian East European Craton (EEC) and its southwestern intensively faulted part (Erlström et al, 1997;Eugeno, 1988). The TTZ separates the EEC from the Paleozoic crust of Central Europe (Berthelsen, 1992).…”

“…The structural style of post-Permian deposits in the NGB is strongly influenced by salt tectonics resulting in many salt structures consisting of Upper Permian Zechstein evaporites. Several past marine geophysical studies, such as EUGENO (1988), BABEL Working Group (1991Group ( , 1993, Petrobaltic (e.g., Rempel, 1992), SASO (Schlüter et al, 1997), and DEKORP- BASIN (1999) documented major tectonic events in the Baltic Sea sector of the NGB. These projects focused mainly on a better understanding of deep-crustal structures.…”

Structural Evolution at the Northeast North German Basin Margin: From Initial Triassic Salt Movement to Late Cretaceous‐Cenozoic Remobilization

et al. 2020

In this study, we investigate the regional tectonic impact on salt movement at the northeastern margin of the intracontinental North German Basin. We discuss the evolution of salt pillows in the Bay of Mecklenburg in the light of thick‐ and thin‐skinned tectonics, including gravity gliding, and differential loading using seismic imaging. Stratigraphic and structural interpretation of a 170 km long, multichannel seismic line, extending from the Bay of Mecklenburg to northeast of Rügen Island, incorporates well information of nearby onshore wells. This new high‐resolution seismic line completely images the stratigraphic and tectonic pattern of the subsurface, from the base of the Zechstein to the seafloor. Our analysis reveals that subsidence during Late Triassic to Early Cretaceous at the northeastern basin margin was associated with transtensional dextral strike slip movement within the Trans‐European Suture Zone. We reinterpret the Werre and Prerow Fault Zones west of Rügen Island as an inverted, thin‐skinned normal fault system associated with the formation of the Western Pomeranian Fault System. Salt movement in the Bay of Mecklenburg was initiated in the Late Triassic and lasted until the Early Jurassic. A second phase of salt pillow growth occurred during the Coniacian until Cenozoic and correlates with compression‐related regional basin inversion due to the onset of the Africa‐Iberia‐Europe convergence. Thin‐skinned extensional initialization of salt pillow growth and compressional salt remobilization explains salt pillow evolution in the Bay of Mecklenburg. Additionally, we discuss an impact of gravity gliding on salt pillow evolution induced by basin margin tilt.

“…1). For the gravity modelling stage we rely on the global combined reference gravity field model EIGEN-6C4 (Förste et al, 2014;Ince et al, 2019). Geological depth maps (Bayrisches Staatsministerium für Wirtschaft, 2004) and thickness maps of Boigk and Schöneich (1974) were also used to correlate boundaries of the Triassic across the three models (Lechel, 2017).…”

“…3-D gravity modelling was carried out using IGMAS+ (Götze and Lahmeyer, 1988;Schmidt et al, 2010), an interactive software for 3-D gravity and magnetic modelling. The interpolated surface grids bounding the resolved geological units were imported to IGMAS+ to build a 3-D density model, produce its gravity response and adjust densities (see Table 1) to fit the response to the gravity disturbance computed for EIGEN-6C4 gravity model at 6 km height (Förste et al, 2014).…”

A three-dimensional lithospheric-scale thermal model of Germany

et al. 2019

Abstract. We present a 3-D lithospheric-scale model covering the area of Germany that images the regional characteristics of the structural configuration and of the thermal field. The structural model resolves major sedimentary, crustal and lithospheric mantle units integrated from previous studies of the Central European Basin System, the Upper Rhine Graben and the Molasse Basin, together with published geological and geophysical data. A combined workflow consisting of 3-D structural, gravity and thermal modelling is applied to derive the 3-D thermal configuration. The modelled temperature distribution is highly variable in response to an imposed heterogeneous distribution of thermal properties assigned to the different units. First order variations in the temperature field are mainly attributed to the thermal blanketing effect from the sedimentary cover, the variability in the amount of radiogenic heat produced within the different crystalline crust compartments and the implemented topology of the thermal Lithosphere-Asthenosphere Boundary.
