Basin Analysis is an up-to-date overview of the essential processes of the formation and evolution of sedimentary basins, and their implications for the development of hydrocarbon resources. The new edition features:

A consideration of the fundamental physical state of the lithosphere.
A discussion on the major types of lithospheric deformation relevant to basin development – stretching and flexure.
A new chapter on the effects of mantle dynamics.
Radically revised chapters on the basin-fill.
A new chapter on the erosional engine for sediment delivery to basins, reflecting the massive and exciting advances in this area in the last decade.

Expansion of the techniques used in approaching problems in basin analysis.
Updated chapters on subsidence analysis and measurements of thermal maturity of organic and non-organic components of the basin-fill.
New material on thermochronological and exposure dating tools.
Inclusion of the important petroleum system concept in the updated section on the application to the petroleum play.

Based on a weight of 1 kg, UK postage is as stated using second class post unless other methods are requested by buyer at buyers expense. The preimum service will use Royal Mail Tracked and unless agreed, this is the default method for Antiquarian or rare books.

Also based on a quote of 1 kg, I have suggested estimates for international postage** outside** the UK and Europe using Royal Mail Economy, this is currently the cheapest but also the slowest. The premium service for antiquarian books is quoted from Royal Mail tracked and Signed.

Royal Mail Standard is the quote used for UK and Europe, the premium service for antiquarian books is quoted from Royal Mail tracked and Signed.

For quicker alternative international postage, l am happy to use a drop off service if requested. Please contact me by email for a quote and other options. I will endeavor to find the cheapest and fastest postal service for the weight of your purchase.
