The extension of the lithosphere, controlling the development of rifted basins, is driven by a
combination of plate-boundary forces, frictional forces exerted on the base of the lithosphere …

The inherent asymmetry of extension by detachment leads to contrasting and conjugate
classes of passive margins. Upper‐plate margins comprise crust above a deeper …

Smeaheia, a prominent fault block located on the Horda Platform, northern North Sea is
identified as a potential subsurface CO 2 storage site. We utilise the GN1101 3D seismic …

A tectonostratigraphic model for the evolution of rift basins has been built, involving three
distinct stages of basin development separated by key unconformities or unconformity …

Abstract From Permian to Jurassic times the northern Viking Graben and adjacent platform
areas experienced multiple rifting, the Permian-early Triassic and middle-late Jurassic rift …

This study focuses on the deep structure of the Viking Graben and adjacent areas of the
northern North Sea (60–62 N), and its implications for the amount, timing and nature of …

A regional network of deep seismic reflection profiles recorded in the northern North Sea
has been used to map Mesozoic and Cenozoic basin thickness and crustal thickness in the …

Rifting activity is probably mainly governed by frictional forces exerted on the base of the
lithosphere by the convecting sub-lithospheric upper mantle, combined with deviatoric …

The Mesozoic North Sea rift forms an integral part of the Arctic-North Atlantic rift system.
Rifting activity in the North Sea commenced during the earliest Triassic, peaked during the …

Abstract The North Viking Graben is a classic sedimentary basin in the North Sea that has
been thoroughly studied over the last decade. Despite the amount and quality of seismic …
