Basin Analysis and Modelling, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

After the success of our first Special Issue, we encourage you to contribute to "Basin Analysis and Modelling, 2nd Edition".

Sedimentary basins are the largest potential stores of mineral resources and hydrocarbon fuels, and their formation and evolution are controlled by deep geodynamic processes. A better understanding of the tectonic and stress field evolution of basics is critical for recognizing the tectonic and environmental history of basics and for utilizing them for economic and social needs. Basin analysis and modelling are significant for guiding resource exploration (e.g., structural interpretation and modelling, characteristics and evolution of prototype basins, basin sedimentary filling, fault sealing evaluation, water system evolution, etc.) and development (e.g., geomechanical modelling, rock deformation and fracture, fracture modelling, etc.). With the in-depth development of multidisciplinary intersections, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) photogrammetry technology, big data, artificial intelligence algorithms, and other approches, many new methods have been introduced into basin analysis and modelling, and a number of new research results have emerged.

With the rapid development of the oil and gas industry, there are several fundamental issues regarding basin analysis and modelling deserving further investigation. The purpose of this research topic is to describe new developments and to expound basic theories, technical methods, field practices, and technological frontiers in basin tectonic analysis and modelling. This Special Issue requests comprehensive review articles and original research articles of any scientific work and fundamental study for “basin analysis and modelling”.
