Sedimentary basins are the largest potential stores of captured carbon dioxide, and important environments for other resources such as hydrogen and hydrocarbon fuels. Better understanding the structural geology and stratigraphy of basins is critical to recognize the tectonic and environmental history of basins, as well as to utilize them for societal and environmental needs. Since the year 2000, new methods have been applied in basin related research motivating large volumes of data (“big data”) concerning their exploration and utilization. We believe that a Research Topic focused on basins and their tectonics is necessary to serve the needs of the open access-based science community.
This Research Topic will present state of the art basin related research, including new methods and ideas applied in the interpretation of seismic reflection data, salt tectonics, fractures, evolution of basins, tectono-paleogeography, coupling between basins and orogens, amongst others. New methods can include new software and software developments, numerical and physical modeling approaches, etc., while we also welcome data driven research from basins including paleomagnetism, zircon dating ages, sedimentary data, lithological facies, and similar. These new data, methods, analytical techniques and interpretations will produce new results to promote research in basins and tectonics.
We welcome manuscripts on the below topics:
1. Interpretation of seismic sections in basins and structural analysis;
2. Balanced sections, constraints on key episodes of tectonic events and tectonic evolution of basins;
3. Salt tectonics in basins;
4. Proto basins related to plate tectonics;
5. Tectono-paleogeography;
6. Coupling between basins and orogens;
7. Fracture prediction in basins;
8. Stress analysis and failure forecasting in basins;
9. Other state of the art research regarding basins and tectonics.
