Unravelling this history is a multidisciplinary task involving several earth science disciplines. In this article we consider the use of geodynamic and basin modelling in the study of various aspects of sedimentary basins formed by extension. Special emphasis is given to the %U https://www.earthdoc.org/content/journals/10.3997/1365-2397.1990002
