The record of sedimentation, burial, erosion, and uplift provides a rich history that can be combined with various analytical and modeling techniques to evaluate: (1) processes that lead to basin formation; (2) deformation of regions related to plate tectonic effects; (3) timing and duration of hydrocarbon generation, migration, and trapping; (4) past and present effects of fluid flow in basin deposits; and (5) past climate change.
