João Paulo de Souza Bueno

João Paulo de Souza Bueno is a Brazilian PhD student researching salt tectonics and the thermal blanket effect, with a particular focus on how it can alter the topography and temperature field of rifted margins using geodynamic models. He is also a GIS programmer and an environmental geologist with experience in geotechnical work, geological risk assessment, and mapping.

Halokinesis: the effect and importance of the most “liquid” rocks in geodynamics

Evaporitic rocks possess unique properties that enable them to form crucial structures for petroleum systems. Salt basins are globally distributed, particularly along the Atlantic margins. Their thermal and mechanical properties can influence the Earth’s crust, altering structural styles and basin architecture, with significant implications for hydrocarbon exploration and geodynamic processes.
