Our most recent research has focussed on the following aspects of salt tectonics:

• Contractional deformation in the Brazilian Atlantic Salt Basins (Davison 2007 Abstract)

• Faulting and fluid flow in Salt (Davison 2008 Submitted). Many salt mine galleries, seismic sections and cores exhibit important faults and fracturing. (photo of faulting in salt).

• Influence of salt-induced bathymetric control on turbidite deposition in the North Sea. (Davison 2004, GCSSPEM fullarticle pdf).
