Experimental and Theoretical Study of Strata Formation in Sedimentary Basins

The long-term goals of our stratigraphy project are to obtain experimental evidence and to develop quantitative models of the formation of strata on continental margins. Experiments and analytical models can greatly contribute to better understand the relationships between variation in forcing functions such as sediment supply, sea-level changes and subsidence, and the resulting strata in depositional basins. These relations will allow, in turn, for
