Description
This module deals with various aspects of basin analysis in the framework of lithosphere dynamics, different subsidence contexts, basin filling, concepts of stratigraphy (litho-, bio- and magnetostratigraphy, seismic stratigraphy and sequential stratigraphy), deposit environment, analyses of origin, detrital thermochronology, diagenesis in clastic, carbonate, or mixed systems.
The course is taught both in English and French (possibility for the course to be taught entirely in English in case of non-French speaking participants).
Contents of the sedimentology part of the course (24h, in English):
1. Stratigraphic concepts and sequence stratigraphy of clastic systems (de Leeuw)
2. Carbonate depositional environments and sequence stratigraphy (de Leeuw)
3. Fluid circulation and diagenesis in clastic basins (Bernet)
4. Low-temperature thermochronology and thermal histories of sedimentary basins (Bernet)
5. Provenance analysis -source to sink relationships (de Leeuw)
6. Energy resources in sedimentary basins (de Leeuw)
7. Case studies: Example on the Himalayan foreland basin source-to-sink relationships (Bernet)
8. Case studies: Student presentations on selected sedimentary basins (Bernet)

1. Introduction, refresher on basis notions of the Lithosphere
2. Rifts
3. Passive continental margins
4. Hyper-extended and magmatic margins
5. Strike-slip basins
6. Foreland basins
