Description:
Uses standard backstripping techniques, allowing for porosity reduction by compaction and cementation. A model is presented which is consistent with the rapid increase in tectonic subsidence rate and the transgressive-regressive nature of the sediments. The model incorporates a sediment influx which is greater than that predicted by the thermally based tectonic models implied by the Jurassic subsidence history. This discrepancy may arise because the primary tectonic subsisdence is better represented by a linear function of time rather than an exponentially decreasing form. -from Authors
