We’re thrilled to share the results of our recent study, now published in Scientific Reports, exploring the dynamics of one of Europe’s largest rock salt outcrops: the Mânzălești salt diapir in the Romanian Carpathians.
We combined radiocarbon dating of vegetal material trapped in paleo-river terraces with PSInSAR (satellite radar) data, and we quantified the relative uplift rates of up to 32.8 mm/year, with present-day movement peaking at 55 mm/year.
Many thanks to all co-authors: Alexandra Tămaș, Irka Hajdas, Gabriela Sava, Valentin Poncos and Delia Teleaga
Key highlights:
• Evidence of rapid diapiric uplift over the last ~720 years
• Integration of UAV photogrammetry, digital modeling, and satellite remote sensing
