G 480 Basin Analysis
An integrated look at sedimentary basins and their formation. Sedimentary basins contain valuable resources (water, geothermal, fossil fuels) and record tectonic processes. Basin geometries will be described through hands-on exercises using well log, potential fields, and seismic data. These will be used to constrain mountain building, paleoclimate, and mantle processes.
