Course is focused on basic geotectonic types of sedimentary basins and main driving mechanisms influencing architecture and lithology of basin fill. Practicals are oriented to basic methods of analysis of basin fill ? including interpretation of reflection seismic data, well-log data; subsidence analysis.

Basin types and basin analysis
1. Introduction
basin types, geotectonic position, heatflow, preservation potential, burial history, stratigraphic record
Rift basins
continental rifting, oceanic rifting, passive margins
2. Strike-slip basins
marine and non-marine pull-apart basins
3. practicals
seismic sections interpretation ? rift and strike-slip basins; basin type identification
4. Cratonic basins, "sag" basins
Subduction related basins (1h) arc-trench systems, oceanic basins, ophiolites, fore-arc b., back-arc b., retro-arc b., inter-arc b., intra-arc b., trenches, acretional prism
Orogenic Basins (1h) foreland basins, piggy-back pánve
5. Complex story ? basin inversion
practicals - seismic sections interpretation ? cratonic, subduction, foreland, piggy-back basins, basin inversion; basin type identification
Methods of basin analysis
6. Stratigraphy
physical stratigraphy, lithostratigraphical vs. genetic stratigraphical approach, sequens str., allostratigraphy practicals ? well log correlation, stratigraphic section, stratigraphic framework
7. Sequence stratigraphy - practice
2-D reconstruction of stratigraphycal record
8. Magnetometry, gravimetry, geophysical well logging
geophysical methods in basin analysis ? basement, basin fill, isopach maps
practicals ? well log correlation as a stratigraphic tool in non-marine basins
9. Burial history ? subsidence and thermal
compaction, decompaction, backstripping, subsidence analysis, thermal history
practicals ? subsidence analysis
10. Case studies
