Planning CO2 storage in Denmark? Better understand the salt first! Nielsen et al. (DK) use structural restoration to reveal different timing and mechanisms - from Triassic gravitational gliding to differential loading:

Llámalo Golfo de América si quieres, pero esos "canopies" salinos en *Golfo de México* son parte de la geología más espectacular de la Tierra.
¿Qué son? La sal móvil asciendió cruzando la cobertera sedimentaria, llegó al fondo marino y se deslizó sobre este.

Call it Gulf of America if you wish, but those amalgamated salt canopies in the *Gulf of Mexico* are some of the nicest geological features on Earth.

What are they? Mobile salt that has raised through the sedimentary cover, reached the seabed and glided over it.
