PGR-RA-72

Expertise of research area
basin analysis; numerical modelling; seismic; structural geology

<h2 class="heading hide-accessible">Summary</h2>

Our research focuses on the development of an integrated approach to investigating the evolution and deformation of sedimentary basins and their stratigraphic fills using a range of geophysical, field-based and numerical modelling methods.

<h2 class="heading hide-accessible">Full description</h2>

<p>We aim to develop a better understanding of basins in a variety of tectonic settings by using seismic reflection interpretation, field studies, and structural modelling. In addition, many of our studies involve integration of structural basin analysis with a broader tectonic framework and petroleum systems modelling in both extensional and compressional margins.</p> <p>We are keen to hear from prospective postgraduate researchers.
