Basin Studies and Petroleum Geoscience
About the group
Our research incorporates all aspects of the sedimentary basin system, from source to sink and from micro- to macro-scales. Projects integrate structural, sedimentological and geomorphic studies and span the fundamental and petroleum geosciences. We use state-of-the-art acquistion, modelling and interpretation tools on a wide range of landscape, outcrop and subsurface datasets.
