Information - GD10 Processes in sedimentary basins(co-sponsored by ILP Task Force Sedimentary Basins, co-listed in TS and SSP)
Event Information
The Task Force Sedimentary Basins of the International Lithosphere Programme promotes the dialogue between reserchers studying the basin fill with those investigating the deeper structure as well as with those developing numerical and analogue experiments of processes that take place in basins of different geo-tectonic settings. This session therefore is ment a platform for this type of exchange and wants to combine basin-fill related research with concepts of deep lithospheric deformation and to evaluate the relationship between the two end members.New data and new challenges in the field of resources ask for a larger perspective in basin analysis. Recent discussion between scientists studying the basin fill and scientists investigating lithosphere structure as such clearly proved that the need for integration is larger than ever. We welcome contributions analyzing the interactions between deep earth and surface processes, i.e., thermicity, fluid circulations and transfers, fluid-rock interactions, interactions between tectonics, erosion, sedimentation and climate. Furthermore studies yielding constraints on the variety of conceptual and quantitative models explaining the origin and evolution of basins in different tectonic settings are invited. In addition we seek contributions integrating data from different depth levels of the lithosphere as deep seismic sounding and analysis of the potential fields with observations from the shallower parts of the basin system as subsidence pattern, stress, vertical motions and active faulting.
