The development of ideas concerning Continental Flood Basalt Provinces is not new, and
many studies were completed on specific provinces before the advent of plate tectonics. The …

When carbon dioxide (CO 2) is injected into an aquifer or a depleted geological reservoir, its
dissolution into solution results in acidification of the pore waters. As a consequence, the …

The aim of the paper is to provide new elements concerning the constitutive behavior of
sedimentary rocks and the numerical aspects for basin simulators. A comprehensive model …

It is a commonplace field observation that extension fractures are more abundant than shear
fractures. The questions of how much more abundant, and why, are posed in this paper and …

Two new analytical methodologies were developed for chlorine and bromine stable isotope
analyses of inorganic samples by Continuous-Flow Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (CF …

Avant tout, je tiensa remercier mon directeur de these, Jean-Laurent Mallet, qui m'a accepté
dans son équipe jeune et dynamique. Le projet Gocad a été, et demeure, un cadre stimulant …

Abstract Basin and Petroleum System Modeling (BPSM) simulates the evolution of
sedimentary basins over geological time spans, a highly complex process in which the …

A critique review of the state of quantitative basin modeling is presented. Over the last 15
years, a number of models are proposed to advance our understanding of basin evolution …

Capturing the past and present hydro-mechanical behavior of passive margin sediments
raises noticeable interest, notably in geo-hazard risk assessment and hydrocarbon …

This paper is devoted to the simulation of large strain compaction process in sedimentary
basins. Special attention is paid to the effects of large porosity changes on the elastic and …
