SE13 Vertical movements in the Northern Atlantic Domain: observations,
constraints, mechanisms and modelling
Event Information
The evolution of the Northern Atlantic margins have been studied extensively
and in great detail, because of the hydrocarbon exploration in the region.
Neogene exhumation and compressional tectonics have affected areas around
the entire North Atlantic, and rapid late Cenozoic subsidence and
sedimentation have been observed throughout the Northern Atlantic Domain.
The off-shore sedimentary record of the continental shelf has been for a
long time the primary target, but more and more the focus of interest has
shifted to connection of off-shore and on-shore observations and
constraints. A so complete possible data-set of geophysical, geological and
geomorphological observations and constraints is needed to understand,
explain and model the mechanism causing and controlling the observed
vertical motions along and at the margin. It is the intention of this
symposium to bring together
* observations and constraints on vertical motions obtained from in
situ measurements, both off-shore and on-shore,
* conceptual models and mechanisms applicable to parts and the entire
area, and
* numerical thermal and mechanical models explaining the large-scale
syn-rift, plume and plate boundary related vertical movements and those by
intraplate tectonics.
