SIMULATION OF FORELAND BASIN STRATIGRAPHY USING A DIFFUSION-MODEL OF MOUNTAIN BELT UPLIFT AND EROSION - AN EXAMPLE FROM THE CENTRAL ALPS, SWITZERLAND
Foreland basin stratigraphy can be considered as the result of three interacting processes: thrust deformation, which builds the tectonic load, sedimentary and erosional processes which redistribute that load, and the flexural response of the lithosphere. The resultant stratigraphy of foreland basin...
