bsin analysis is an advanced undergraduate and postgraduate text aimed at understanding sedimentary basins as geodynamic entities .the rationale of the book is that knowledge of the basic principles of the thermo-mechanical behaviour of the lithosphere ,the dynamics of the mantle,and the functioning of sediment routing systems provides a sound background for studying sedimentary basins,and is apre-requisite for the exploitation of resourcescontained in their sedimentary rocks.the the third edition incorporates new developments in the burgeoning field of basin analysis while retaining the successful struccture and overall philosophy of the first two editions.
the text is divided into four parts that establish the geodynamical environment for sedimentary basins and the physical state of the lithosphere ,followed by a coverage of the mechanics of basin formation,an integrated analysis of the controls obn thwe basin_fill and its burial and thermal history,and concludes with an application of basin analysis principles in patreleum play assesment ,including a discussion of uncoventional hydrocarbon plays.the text is richly supplemented bby appendices,proveding mathematical derivations of wide range of procesesses affecting the formation of bisnis and their sedimentary fills.many of these appendices included practical exercise that give the reader hands-on experience of quantitatife solutions to important basin analysis proceses now in fll colour and a larger format ,this third edition is a conprensive update and expansions of the pevioys editions,and resperesbnts a rageriuos yet accesibel guide to problem solving in this most integrative of geoscientific disciplines
