Tectonic setting exerts first-order control on basin formation as reflected in basin subsidence
history. While our approach ignores the effects of flexural loading and eustatic sea-level …

Understanding the formation mechanisms of cratonic basins provides an examination of the
rheological, compositional and thermal properties of continental cratons. However, these …

The thermal subsidence of basins formed above thick continental lithosphere differs from
that of young passive margin basins and of young oceanic crust in that stagnant lid …
