f Predicting Marginal Marine Reservoir Architecture: Examples from Asian Shoreline Systems

Sequence stratigraphy is often used to link coastal depositional style to specific systems tracts. Even though such an approach<br>has merit, it is argued that other variables, such as basin setting, distance from a shelf edge, local physiography and shoreline<br>shape are more useful for predicting shoreline architecture, especially when it comes to the effects of waves and tides. This is<br>because shorelines in different systems tracts can be exposed to similar combinations of processes, which have a first order<br>dependence on the shape of the marine basin fronting them.
