Towards stratigraphic-thermo-mechanical numerical modelling: Integrated analysis of asymmetric extensional basins

Abstract Subsidence and uplift patterns thermal history of sedimentary basins are controlled by tectonics, mantle dynamics surface processes, such as erosion, sediment transport deposition their links to climatic variations. We use combined thermo-mechanical stratigraphic numerical modelling techniques quantify the between tectonic processes. aim assess evolution subsidence rates asymmetric extensional during syn- post-rift times simulating different erosion sedimentation rates. analyse 3D architecture facies distribution depocenters. Model results validated observations in Pannonian Basin Central Europe. Extensional reactivation inherited suture zones creates basin systems large-scale detachments or low-angle normal faults, where crustal lithospheric thinning often rheologically decoupled. basement heat flow depocenters show large variabilities extension initial position from zone migration deformation. Transient anomalies mirror exhumation footwalls, blanketing effects basins. Enhanced facilitate lower deformation elastic flexure weak, extended lithosphere leading accentuated differential evolution. Tectonics, climate autogenic processes control transgressive-regressive cycles at timescales together with overall distribution.
