Basin Analysis and Modelling
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
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 to recognize the tectonic and environmental history of basics and to utilize 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 others, many new methods have been introduced into basin analysis and modelling, and a number of new research results are emerging.
With the rapid development of the oil and gas industry, there are several fundamental issues regarding basin analysis and modelling that are worth 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 research topic will collect comprehensive review articles and original research articles of any scientific work and fundamental study for “basin analysis and modelling”.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
i. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
ii. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
iii. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
iv. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
v. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
