DC12: 3D tectonic and climatic controls on stratigraphic architecture of rift systems (Suez Rift)
This PhD project aims to understand how climatic variations and 3D rifting control the stratigraphic architecture of continental rifts. The project will use the available high resolution data set of the Suez Rift to reconstruct the rift evolution, constrain sediment volumes, and paleo-environment. The data will subsequently be used to test hypotheses on tectonic and climatic controls on sediment export to the basin, sediment routing, and resulting stratigraphic architecture using the source to sink landscape evolution model FastScape and coupled 3D geodynamic – landscape evolution models. Model results will be compared with data obtained from the Suez rift and with other well documented rift system.
Contact Delphine Rouby (delphine.rouby@get.omp.eu) or Ritske Huismans (Ritske.huismans@uib.no) for more information.
