Basin Analysis is an up-to-date overview of the essential
processes of the formation and evolution of sedimentary basins, and
their implications for the development of hydrocarbon resources.
The new edition features:
- A consideration of the fundamental physical state of the
lithosphere.
- A discussion on the major types of lithospheric deformation
relevant to basin development – stretching and flexure.
- A new chapter on the effects of mantle dynamics.
- Radically revised chapters on the basin-fill.
- A new chapter on the erosional engine for sediment delivery to basins, reflecting the massive and exciting advances in this area in the last decade.
- Expansion of the techniques used in approaching problems in
basin analysis.
- Updated chapters on subsidence analysis and measurements of
thermal maturity of organic and non-organic components of the
basin-fill.
- New material on thermochronological and exposure dating
tools.
- Inclusion of the important petroleum system concept in the updated section on the application to the petroleum play.
