Abstract
Bruno Vendeville (1961–2022) was the foremost practitioner of analog modeling applied to the field of salt tectonics, with his work providing and promoting significant advances in our understanding of this field over more than three decades. Bruno and his collaborators contributed major works in: the mechanics of salt-related deformation; the key processes of extensional, contractional, loading-induced, and strike-slip salt tectonics; the drivers and patterns of gravity-driven, linked systems of salt-detached deformation; and the structural style and evolution of specific salt basins. In this Special Issue devoted to his legacy, we offer a series of papers that build on his foundational work and honor his critical role in advancing the theory and application of salt tectonics.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Structural Geology publishes process-oriented investigations about structural geology using appropriate combinations of analog and digital field data, seismic reflection data, satellite-derived data, geometric analysis, kinematic analysis, laboratory experiments, computer visualizations, and analogue or numerical modelling on all scales. Contributions are encouraged to draw perspectives from rheology, rock mechanics, geophysics,metamorphism, sedimentology, petroleum geology, economic geology, geodynamics, planetary geology, tectonics and neotectonics to provide a more powerful understanding of deformation processes and systems. Given the visual nature of the discipline, supplementary materials that portray the data and analysis in 3-D or quasi 3-D manners, including the use of videos, and/or graphical abstracts can significantly strengthen the impact of contributions.
