“…There are indications for the occurrence of evaporites in the other escarpments. Evaporites have been reported in onshore and offshore wells at depths of 1 and 5 km in the Malta Plateau (Bishop & Debono, 1996;Gatt, 2012). Extensive beds of gypsum/anhydrite-bearing evaporite of probable Palaeogene age outcrop across the Campeche Escarpment (Hudec & Norton, 2019;Perry et al, 2012) Canyon area was estimated based on the boundaries of submarine canyons delineated semi-automatically using morphometric attribute maps (slope gradient, slope aspect, profile curvature), flow accumulation map and water basin analysis.…”
