Geochemistry and Basin Analysis of Laramide Rocky Mountain Basins
… of freshwater bivalve fossils from six Laramide basins in order to reconstruct the spatial evolution of the paleotopography and Precambrian basement erosion in late Cretaceous-early Eocene. In addition it uses the sedimentology, detrital zircon U-Pb geochronology, and isotope paleoaltimetry of …

Basin analysis of Tertiary strata in the Pattani Basin Gulf of Thailand
… and structural evolution of the Pattani Basin, the most prolific petroleum basin in Thailand, reflects the extensional tectonic regime of the Continental Southeast Asia. East-west extension, a product of the northward collision of India with Eurasia since the Early Tertiary, resulted in …

Cenozoic foreland-basin evolution in the northern Andes : insights from thermochronology and basin analysis in the Eastern Cordillera, Colombia
The modern foreland basin straddling the eastern margin of the Andean orogen is the prime example of a retro-arc foreland basin system adjacent to a subduction orogen. While widely studied in the central and southern Andes, the spatial and temporal evolution of the Cenozoic foreland basin system in …

Late Paleozoic basin analysis of the Loppa High and Finnmark Platform in the Norwegian Barents Sea : integration of seismic attributes and seismic sequence stratigraphy
… Triassic. Based on seismic sequence stratigraphy analysis the palaeogeography in time and space of the Loppa High basin was furthermore reconstructed and a new and more detailed tectono-sedimentary model for this area was proposed. In the Finnmark platform area, a detailed core analysis of two …

Fluvial facies architecture and provenance history of the Abrahamskraal-Teekloof formation transition (lower Beaufort group) in the main Karoo Basin
… lower Beaufort Group in the southern main Karoo Basin comprises of the fluvio-lacustrine Abrahamskraal and the overlying Teekloof and correlative Middleton Formations. These units are mainly made up of mudrocks with subordinate fine-grained sandstone-rich intervals. The objective of this mainly …

Basin Evolution and Slope System Dynamics of the Cretaceous Magallanes Basin, Chilean Patagonia
Deep-marine basins linked to active continental margins by sloped ocean-floor profiles commonlyhost the final accumulation of sediment that was eroded and transported from the continents. Thedeep-marine sediment archives preserved in these settings commonly offer the most completerecord of sediment …

Sedimentology of the Squantum ‘Tillite’, Boston Basin, USA: Modern Analogues and Implications for the Paleoclimate during the Gaskiers Glaciation (c. 580 Ma)
… terranes were composed of volcanoes and arc-type basins. ‘Till-like’ diamictite horizons identified within these basins have been used as evidence for a ‘Snowball Earth-type’ glaciation at 580 Ma. However, others argue that these deposits are non-glacial debris flow deposits. To test the …

Architectural Models for Lower Pennsylvanian Strata in Dickenson/Wise County, Southwest Virginia: A Reservior Case Study
… belts in the northwestern region of the basin are braided-fluvial deposits and were sourced by the cratonic Archean Superior Province to the north. This orthogonal relationship between the southeastern coal-bearing siliciclastics and the northwestern quartzarenites reflect a …

Structure, evolution, and petroleum potential of the Queen Charlotte Basin
… of the Tertiary Queen Charlotte sedimentary basin and its petroleum potential. The study is based on integrated geological basin analysis, which involves compiling all relevant geological, geophysical, and geochemical data; interpreting them using a multidisciplinary approach; and creating a …

The Aptian evolution of the Galve sub-basin (Maestrat Basin; E Iberia)
… stage (125-112 Ma) cropping out in the Galve sub-basin (western Maestrat Basin) in the eastern Iberian Chain (E Iberia) was analyzed by multiscale and multidisciplinary approaches. The integrated basin analysis presented in this thesis highlights the interplay between the solid Earth, oceans, …

Seismic stratigraphy and tectonic evolution of a transform continental margin, offshore Sierra Leone
The offshore Sierra Leone basin is an exploration frontier area with commercial hydrocarbon potential. The basin is located at the northernmost end of the equatorial Atlantic margin in the South Atlantic; it is bound to the South by the Gulf of Guinea Petroleum province. The Sierra Leone margin has …

Quantitative textural analysis of sedimentary grains and basin subsidence modelling
Part 1: Quantitative textural analysis Shape analysis can provide important information regarding the origin, transport and deposition history of grains. Particle shape measurement has been an active area of research for sedimentologists since the 20th century. However, there is a lack of …

Fluvial sedimentation in continental half-graben basins
… architecture of intracontinental rift basins is defined by a dynamic relationship between depositional belts associated with the basin floor and flanking tributary streams on the piedmont. Spatiotemporal distributions of these deposits are sensitive to basin geometry, subsidence rate, …

Stratigraphic response to Cordilleran processes along the south central Andean margin
Subduction zones along convergent plate margins are fundamental components of Earth systems that link mountain building, magmatism, lithospheric dynamics, surface processes, and climate-carbon cycles. Resolving the feedbacks and relationships among these components has been a longstanding challenge …

Post-Orogenic Thermal History and Exhumation of the Northern Appalachian Basin: Low-Temperature Thermochronologic Constraints
… belts and the thermal history within sedimentary basins for hydrocarbon resource assessment. Collisional tectonics in the Paleozoic which formed of the Appalachian Orogen and the foreland basin has been a subject of considerable study. The objective of this dissertation is to apply low-temperature …

Stratigraphic signatures of convergent orogenesis from the plate interior : studies from Tibet and the southern Rocky Mountains
… climatic feedback. Through these studies of the basin records of orogenesis in the Qaidam basin of northern Tibet and the southern Rocky Mountain basins of North America, we provide new constraints on the timing of deformation, the development of proximal basins, and the evolution of …
