The interaction between deepwater channel systems and growing thrusts and folds, toe-thrust region of the deepwater Niger Delta
The Niger Delta fold and thrust belt occurs in an area of tectonic shortening – caused by the thin-skinned gravitational collapse of large deltaic sediment wedges above a ductile overpressured shale. Syn-sedimentary processes such as down-slope flowing gravity currents interact with the deforming se...
