This book details how the GALO system of basin modelling may be
used in the analysis of actual, non-standard problems of geology.
It begins by addressing the tectonic subsidence of sedimentary
basins, and goes on to consider the problems of maturation of
organic matter and hydrocarbon generation in the vicinity of
intrusions and subtrappean sedimentary complexes. Lastly, the book
discusses the formation of temperature and heat flow distributions
with depth due to the sharp climate variations in the Quaternary,
which was marked by repeated formation and degradation of
permafrost. The book studies the application of the GALO basin
modelling system to the three problems mentioned above. Employing
the GALO system provides a unique opportunity to assess the
amplitude and duration of the stretching and thermal activation of
the basin lithosphere, and to study in detail the formation of a
maturity aureole of organic matter in the basin's subtrappean
sedimentary cover. This book offers a valuable resource for all
graduate students and professionals interested in numerical
modelling of the thermal evolution of sedimentary basins. It will
also be of great interest to petroleum geologists engaged in oil
and gas exploration in the trap provinces of the world. Lastly, it
will benefit those students and geologists dealing with the thermal
field of sedimentary blankets in actual and degraded permafrost
areas.
