Isolated, Miocene continental basins scattered over Israel and Jordan represent the remnants of a continental‐wide fluvial system, which originated in Arabia and transported siliciclastic sediments westward to the deep Levant Basin. These basins define two geographically separated sedimentary provinces. The detrital zircon age spectra in both provinces are dominated by Neoproterozoic U‐Pb ages (550

While seismic and stratigraphic well information put tight constraints on rift basin evolution, eroded rift shoulders commonly expose polydeformed prerift basement whose deformation history may be difficult to constrain. In this work we apply K‐Ar dating of fault gouge samples from 18 faults to explore the brittle deformation of the well‐exposed eastern rift margin to the northern North Sea rift. We

Delineating sediment source areas is critical for source‐to‐sink analysis and energy exploration because it can reveal sediment pathways and their associated reservoir rocks. We developed a methodology that integrates stratigraphic forward modelling and inversion analysis to provide a first‐order provenance estimate. By employing a large number of modelling runs, and then applying a neighborhood algorithm

The rift phase of the Campos Basin developed during the Early Cretaceous on a heterogeneous crust comprising structures inherited from the Brasiliano‐Pan African tectonic events, mostly generated during the Neoproterozoic‐Cambrian amalgamation of western Gondwana blocks. The main rifting episode took place from the Hauterivian to the Barremian, then was succeeded by the transition and post‐rift (SAG)

It is now well‐established that base‐salt relief drives complex deformation patterns in the mid‐slope domain of salt‐bearing passive margins, in a location classically thought to be dominated by simple horizontal translation. However, due to a lack of detailed studies drawing on high‐quality, 3D seismic reflection data, our understanding of how base‐salt relief controls four‐dimensional patterns of

Structurally controlled bathymetry in rifts has a significant influence on sediment routing pathways and turbidite depositional architecture. In contrast to rift segments characterized by crustal‐scale half‐grabens, rift domains characterised by distributed faulting on narrow fault terraces have received little attention the tectono‐stratigraphic evolution deep‐water. We use 3D broadband seismic data

Many sedimentary basins host thick evaporite (salt) deposits. Some of these basins also host extensive igneous intrusion networks. It thus seems inevitable that, in some locations, magma will interact with salt. Yet how interaction between these materials may influence salt tectonics or magma emplacement, particularly at the basin‐scale, remains poorly understood. We use 3D seismic reflection data

Despite salt being regarded as an extremely efficient, low‐permeability hydraulic seal, an increasing number of cross‐evaporite fluid escape features have been documented in salt‐bearing sedimentary basins. Because of this, it is clear that our understanding of how thick salt deposits impact fluid flow in sedimentary basins is incomplete. We here examine the causes and evolution of cross‐evaporite

Upper Cretaceous to Eocene marine sedimentary sequences of the Yarlung‐Tsangpo Suture Zone (YTSZ) provide critical constraints on the initial process of the India‐Asia continental collision and the closure time of the Neo‐Tethyan Ocean. New sedimentological, petrographic, biochronological, and detrital zircon age data of Cretaceous–Paleogene strata from the southern margin of the YTSZ are reported

The Porcupine Basin is a large underexplored sedimentary basin located offshore west of Ireland within the structurally complex European North Atlantic Margin. The basin has evolved through multiple Jurassic–Recent phases of deformation and although the overall plate tectonic context of the margin is well‐documented, there are still uncertainties regarding the phases of tectonic activity, and their

The evolution of the tectonic deformation of the northeastern Tibetan Plateau (TP) in the Cenozoic is significant for understanding plateau growth during India‐Asia convergence. However, when deformation began and how it has developed in this pivotal region remain controversial. We focus on the temporal progress of Cenozoic deformation in the Qilian Shan, a major tectonic belt of the northeastern TP

Hyperextended basins are increasingly recognised along the outboard parts of continental margins as aborted basins created during continental break‐up. Many of the concepts for understanding and modelling basin evolution and fill were developed for regions that have undergone modest crustal stretching (β<2) and may not be valid in basins where the crust and upper mantle are heavily modified by extreme

We document the role of sedimentary burial and salt tectonics in controlling the deformation style of continental crust during hyperextension. The Iberian‐European boundary records a complex history of Cretaceous continental extension, which has led to the development of so‐called smooth‐slope type basins. Based on the review of the available geological constraints (crustal‐balanced cross sections

In ‘Denudation rates of a subequatorial orogenic belt based on estimates of sediment yields: evidence from the Paleozoic Appalachian Basin, USA’, originally published in Basin Research 29, 2–15 (2017), http://doi.org/10.1111/bre.12162, the authors have brought the following to our attention: Discharge values in Table 2 of this manuscript are overestimated by an order of magnitude, due to an error in

Products of onshore passive continental margin erosion are best preserved in offshore sedimentary basins. Therefore, these basins potentially hold a recoverable record of the onshore erosion history. Here, we present apatite fission track (AFT) data for 13 samples from a borehole in the southern Walvis basin, offshore Namibia. All samples show AFT central ages older or similar to their respective stratigraphic

The Greater Barents Sea Basin (GBSB) in Arctic Russia and Norway is an intracratonic basin that accommodated an enormous amount of sediment during the Triassic. These deposits are up to 4.5 km thick over an area 2,500,000 km2, and consists of marine mudstones and mudstone‐rich fluvio‐deltaic topsets with sandstone‐dominated fluvial channels. The basin is well‐studied and data‐rich, but regional correlation

There remains a limited understanding of the controls of pre‐existing structures on the architecture of deep‐water progradational sequences. In the Northern Taranaki Basin (NTB), New Zealand, Pliocene post‐extensional sedimentary sequences overlie Miocene back‐arc volcaniclastic units. We utilize seismic reflection datasets to investigate the relationships between the buried back‐arc mound‐shaped structures

As a traditional method for palaeoseismic studies, trenching can be combined with dating techniques to identify palaeoseismic events and the earthquake recurrence interval. However, when using trenches to study palaeoearthquakes, factors such as the active tectonic background of the earthquake‐caused structure, the lithology on both sides of the fault, the geomorphology location and type and the samples

In a recent study, Andrews et al. (2020) describe “exhumed hydrocarbon traps” in North‐East Greenland. The basic premise for their interpretation is that dark‐coloured, pyrobitumen‐bearing sandstones represent the remnants of once buried petroleum reservoirs. We do not see the necessary field or analytical evidence to support a model that has strong implications for resource evaluations. Andrews et
