Basin Analysis
 
An integrated study of sedimentary basins defined as geodynamic entities. Principles of Basin Analysis include dynamic types of sedimentary basins, plate tectonic environment, effects of lithosphere structures and mantle dynamics, subsidence and thermal history of basins, basin-fill. Analytical and simulated methods of basins are also included. Applications of basin analysis involve distribution of basins, and coal, petroleum-gas and mineral accumulation.
