Stratigraphical and structural setting of the Palaeogene siliciclastic sediments in the Dutch part of the North Sea Basin

In this thesis, a detailed tectonic and stratigraphic reconstruction of the development of the southern part of the Late Palaeocene - Oligocene Dutch North Sea Basin is presented. The research concentrates on fault geometry and sedimentary architecture in response to tectonic activity. The aim of this research is to gain an improved insight in the mechanics of inversion tectonics, when multiple inversion phases occurred in separate pulses. The research is based on seismic and well data, which cover a significant part of the Dutch offshore territory. Tectonic subsidence and uplift are quantifie... Mehr ...
