Abstract
The most important question every geoscientist should continually ask is ‘why’? Why do I see what I see? Too often it is accepted, for example, that a sedimentary basin ‘is there’, and geoscientists continue to work on surfaces and units within its boundaries, without ever questioning ‘why do I have this hole in the ground’? Everything is where it is for a reason, and fundamental questions are rarely answered with a parochial approach such as that which is governed by a small acreage or data position in a much larger sedimentary basin. Regional understanding is essential in providing the necessary insights for basin analysis and inevitably requires study beyond the limits of the basin itself. Regional Geology provides this bridge from a crustal to a prospect scale, encompassing not just the basin but its hinterland, its crustal structure, and its inheritance from earlier geological events.
