Basin Analysis is an up-to-date overview of the essential processes of the formation and evolution of sedimentary basins, and their implications for the development of hydrocarbon resources. The new edition features:

- A consideration of the fundamental physical state of the lithosphere.

- A discussion on the major types of lithospheric deformation relevant to basin development – stretching and flexure.

- A new chapter on the effects of mantle dynamics.

- Radically revised chapters on the basin-fill.

- A new chapter on the erosional engine for sediment delivery to basins, reflecting the massive and exciting advances in this area in the last decade.

- Expansion of the techniques used in approaching problems in basin analysis.

- Updated chapters on subsidence analysis and measurements of thermal maturity of organic and non-organic components of the basin-fill.

- New material on thermochronological and exposure dating tools.

- Inclusion of the important petroleum system concept in the updated section on the application to the petroleum play.
