Annotation -
Course is focused on basic geotectonic types of sedimentary basins and main driving mechanisms influencing architecture and lithology of basin fill. Practicals are oriented to basic methods of analysis of basin fill ? including interpretation of reflection seismic data, well-log data; subsidence analysis.

Basin types and basin analysis

1. Introduction

basin types, geotectonic position, heatflow, preservation potential, burial history, stratigraphic record

Rift basins

continental rifting, oceanic rifting, passive margins

2. Strike-slip basins

marine and non-marine pull-apart basins

3. practicals

seismic sections interpretation ? rift and strike-slip basins; basin type identification

4. Cratonic basins, "sag" basins

Subduction related basins (1h) arc-trench systems, oceanic basins, ophiolites, fore-arc b., back-arc b., retro-arc b., inter-arc b., intra-arc b., trenches, acretional prism

Orogenic Basins (1h) foreland basins, piggy-back pánve

5. Complex story ? basin inversion

practicals - seismic sections interpretation ? cratonic, subduction, foreland, piggy-back basins, basin inversion; basin type identification

Methods of basin analysis

6. Stratigraphy

physical stratigraphy, lithostratigraphical vs. genetic stratigraphical approach, sequens str., allostratigraphy practicals ? well log correlation, stratigraphic section, stratigraphic framework

7. Sequence stratigraphy - practice

2-D reconstruction of stratigraphycal record

8. Magnetometry, gravimetry, geophysical well logging

geophysical methods in basin analysis ? basement, basin fill, isopach maps

practicals ? well log correlation as a stratigraphic tool in non-marine basins

9. Burial history ? subsidence and thermal

compaction, decompaction, backstripping, subsidence analysis, thermal history

practicals ? subsidence analysis

10. Case studies
