STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE OTWAY BASIN

The APPEA Journal, 1988
The Otway Basin developed as a series of extensional basins along the southern margin of Australia during the Late Jurassic and the Early Cretaceous, prior to the break up of Eastern Gondwanaland. The Basin developed initially as a rift which subsequently, Middle Cretaceous time onwards, drifted and separated.The structural framework of the Basin is ...

Multiple-phase tectonic superposition and reworking in the Junggar Basin of northwestern China—Implications for deep-seated petroleum exploration

, 2018
The Junggar Basin is one of the major petroliferous basins in Northwest China, where deeper hydrocarbon exploration has become an inevitable trend for resource development.

Seismic interpretation of the Laga basin; constraints on the structural setting and kinematics of the Central Apennines

Journal of the Geological Society, 2011
: The Messinian Laga basin is the largest foreland basin within the Central Apennines fold and thrust belt (Italy). This area, actively investigated in the 1980s and 1990s for hydrocarbon resources, is considered a valuable analogue for clastic ...

Deep structure of the Mediterranean Basin

Journal of Geophysical Research, 1970
From an analysis of the seismicity of the Mediterranean basin we obtain a model of the deep structure of this region that is a further improvement to the plate tectonic theory. Taking into account the data of seismology, the gravity anomalies, volcanism and the few available data on the heat flow in this region, we conclude that the African plate is ...

The structure of the Falkland Basin’s lithosphere

Oceanology, 2011
The peculiarities of the crustal structure within the Falkland Basin have been discussed. Maps of the free-air and Bouguer (2.3 g/cm3) gravity anomalies and their transforms have been made. The complex analysis of the anomalous gravity field has allowed us to confirm the continental origin of the crust. The zoning of the crust has been performed.

Cenozoic tectonic evolution of the Qaidam basin and its surrounding regions (Part 3): Structural geology, sedimentation, and regional tectonic reconstruction

, 2008
The Qaidam basin is the largest topographic depression inside the Tibetan plateau. Because of its central position, understanding the tectonic origin of the Qaidam basin has important implications for unraveling the formation mechanism and growth history

Structure of Mono Basin, California

Journal of Geophysical Research, 1970
In a recent paper, Christensen et al. [1969] interpreted the gravity and seismic data from Mono Basin, California, to indicate that the depth to the basement there is 1–1.5 km, whereas Pakiser et al. [1960] and Pakiser [1968] interpreted the same data to indicate a depth of 5–5.5 km, with an acknowledged uncertainty of 1–1.5 km. Christensen et al. were

Thermal Structure of the Anadarko Basin

AAPG Bulletin, 1999
The Anadarko basin of Oklahoma is a two-stage Paleozoic cratonic basin with as much as 12 km (7.5 mi) or more of sedimentary fill. We present a present-day thermal model of the basin based on lithologic analysis at 3-m (10-ft) intervals in 63 wells, heat flow measurements at seven sites, and in-situ thermal conductivity calibration of the sediment ...

The Structure and Dynamics of River Basins

1992
A particular freshwater habitat cannot be considered in isolation. Because of the movement of water through the system, there is always some dependence on what happens upstream or in the contributing catchment area. There are no absolute boundaries and the only natural unit is the entire river basin.

An investigation of salt tectonic structural styles in the Scotian Basin, offshore Atlantic Canada: 2. Comparison of observations with geometrically complex numerical models

, 2010
Having established the first‐order controls of the three primary salt tectonic structural styles of the Scotian Basin in paper 1, in this paper (paper 2) we investigate and show that many unexplained structures can be attributed to more complex initial ...
