“…Increasing economic interest has led to a wealth of studies aimed at better constraining the geometry of salt welds and diapirs at depth (Al-Zoubi et al, 2002;Moulin et al, 2005;Lamarche and Scheck-Wenderoth, 2005;Stewart, 2006;Rowan and Vendeville, 2006;Malinowski et al, 2007), the dynamics of the evaporites' mobilization (Vendeville and Jackson, 1992a,b;Poliakov et al, 1993;Jackson et al, 1995;Vendeville, 2002;Massimi et al, 2007; or the control exerted by regional tectonic stresses on the evaporites mobilization (Sans and Koyi, 2001;Costa and Vendeville, 2001;Brun and Fort, 2004).…”
