Session Description:
Advances in geochemical techniques have made a substantial contribution to understanding the temporal and thermal evolution of basins. These methodological leaps have dramatically advanced the way we interpret sediment provenance, supply and routing, subsidence histories, stratal architecture, and complex source-to-sink responses in both contractional and extensional basins. Basins are a primary focus in geologic research as they serve as great archives for the tectonic and climatic forces controlling the interplay between hinterland tectonics and basin evolution. In various structural settings, novel computational-modeling, sequence stratigraphy, and high-resolution geochemical and isotopic stratigraphy have greatly influenced fundamental concepts employed to gage the dynamic linkages in basin evolution over a large range of time and space. This session aims at encompassing a variety of topics associated with the structural, sedimentological, and climate control on basin architecture, with special focus on the integrated application of geochronological, geochemical and isotopic techniques to basin and hinterland reconstruction.
