f 2D Synthetics and interpretation of deep seismic profiling data from Skagerrak

The evolutionary history of a basin is in general attempted reconstructed on the basis of the relative distribution of sedimentary strata as a function of the geological history. Associated basin extension models, say of the McKenzie type, presume a homogeneous crust subject to uniform stretching. The validity of such a hypothesis can be examined on the basis of deep (16-40 sTWT) seismic reflection data and is the topic of this presentation.
