The papers in this book summarize and provide examples of state-of-the-art approaches in quantitative analysis of sedimentary basins. The approaches—accomplished principally through computer modeling, and that range from geodynamics, to stratigraphic fill and fluid flow, to sediment transport—have the potential for providing more accurate assessment, description, and prediction of a variety of sedimentary basin attributes.

Quantitative Dynamic Stratigraphy includes papers on:

• philosophies and methods of model construction
• geodynamic formation and evolution of basins
• stratigraphic and sedimentation models
• hydrocarbon maturation and sediment diagenesis models
• dynamic ocean circulation and climate models
• paleogeographic reconstructions using a mass-balance approach
• resolution of geologic time from lithostratigraphy, biostratigraphy, and chemical stratigraphy
• data bases and methods for evaluating basin models
• computer programs that simulate sediment fill and sediment transport
