Geological Methods of Basin Analysis

- Key concepts for basin analysis
- Petrography and microscopy
- AFT and AHe thermochronology
- Clay mineralogy
- VR reflectance
- Tectonic structures in sedimentary basins
- Geological and geophysical data in basin analysis
- Basics of Basin Modelling

- theoretical knowledge and practical expertise needed for the study of sedimentary basins
- use different techniques to obtain the information recorded in the basin-fill
- perform thermochronological analyses and convert the data in thermal history indormation
- derive burial, maturation and exhumation scenarios from temperature-time constraints
- use the knowledge as support for stratigraphic or other geological studies
- use simple software to model aspects of basin evolution
