• Sommario/riassunto: Firstly, this represents a collection of case-studies covering a wide range of basin types and tectonic and stratigraphic settings. Secondly, it highlights specific themes such as the history of subsidence and its relation to orogenesis, and the stratigraphic architecture of the basin fill.
