Syn-rift basin records are complex, but important for understanding sediment routing from source-to-sink https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⛰" title="Berg" aria-label="Emoji: Berg">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌊" title="Wasserwelle" aria-label="Emoji: Wasserwelle">, resource distribution https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🩸" title="Tropfen Blut" aria-label="Emoji: Tropfen Blut">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💰" title="Geldsack" aria-label="Emoji: Geldsack">and the controls that shape our landscapes https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⚡️" title="Hochspannungszeichen" aria-label="Emoji: Hochspannungszeichen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌍" title="Europa-Afrika auf dem Globus" aria-label="Emoji: Europa-Afrika auf dem Globus">

Multiple depositional systems from different origins develop and interact through time in hangingwall basins https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧐" title="Gesicht mit Monokel" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Monokel"> The resultant architecture is difficult to predict and preservation of net-erosional landscapes is limited https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😰" title="Gesicht mit offenem Mund und Angstschweiß" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit offenem Mund und Angstschweiß">

We study an individual, subsurface fault block (Thebe-2) on the Exmouth Plateau, NW Shelf, Australia https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇦🇺" title="Flagge von Australien" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Australien"> We use beautiful, open-access 3D seismic data https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😍" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit herzförmigen Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit herzförmigen Augen"> from Geoscience Australia and local exploration wells.

We undertake detailed seismic facies and stratigraphic analysis https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😑" title="Ausdrucksloses Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Ausdrucksloses Gesicht"> and note the important distinction between planar-sloping fan geometries interpreted to be slope aprons and radial, distinct clinoforms interpreted to be fan deltas https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👍" title="Thumbs up" aria-label="Emoji: Thumbs up">

Our stratigraphic framework reveals multiple depositional systems deriving from the footwall, hangingwall dip slope (and antithetic faults) and axially from the fault tip https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤭" title="Gesicht mit Hand über dem Mund" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Hand über dem Mund">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😯" title="Schweigendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Schweigendes Gesicht">

Depositional systems interact in a range of ways: diverting, building around eachother, onlapping and interfingering https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤝" title="Handschlag" aria-label="Emoji: Handschlag">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👊" title="Fisted hand" aria-label="Emoji: Fisted hand">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👉" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach rechts" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach rechts">- representing a range of compensational stacking styles, hardly documented in conceptual tectono-sedimentary models

Footwall-derived systems in the immediate hangingwall show amazing variability along-strike https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏡" title="Haus mit Garten" aria-label="Emoji: Haus mit Garten">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏰" title="Europäisches Schloss" aria-label="Emoji: Europäisches Schloss">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⛺️" title="Zelt" aria-label="Emoji: Zelt">, demonstrating the delicate balance between accommodation and sediment supply across short length-scales

We calculate volume of footwall erosion and volume of the *footwall-derived* hangingwall fans. Balancing volumes https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⚖️" title="Waage" aria-label="Emoji: Waage"> : Excess fw erosion = sediment bypass; excess hw fill = sediment input from beyond the fault crest. (See carefully considered assumptions in the paper!)

Did I mention we work with time data? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⏱" title="Stoppuhr" aria-label="Emoji: Stoppuhr"> Our paper goes through this approach in detail, so it can be used in other basins with time or depth-converted seismic data https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😊" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit lächelnden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit lächelnden Augen">

We make a quantitatively-informed interpretation of the tectono-sedimentary evolution of the basin https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤓" title="Nerd-Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Nerd-Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📸" title="Kamera mit Blitz" aria-label="Emoji: Kamera mit Blitz">

Our work supports subaerial exposure of the fault block and adjacent fault terraces producing small catchments that fed deposition in narrow rift valleys and palaeo-shorelines that fringed emergent fault blocks https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⛰" title="Berg" aria-label="Emoji: Berg">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏖" title="Strand mit Sonnenschirm" aria-label="Emoji: Strand mit Sonnenschirm">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👀" title="Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Augen">

Could such hangingwall fans form prospective reservoirs, analogous to the Brae Play, N Sea? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Denkendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Denkendes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🩸" title="Tropfen Blut" aria-label="Emoji: Tropfen Blut">

Volume balancing picks out the through-going sediment input points in the absence of catchment imaging. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👌" title="Ok hand" aria-label="Emoji: Ok hand">Could these be the conduits to the cleanest, reservoir-quality sands in the basin? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💸" title="Geld mit Flügeln" aria-label="Emoji: Geld mit Flügeln">

Takeaway 1: Let’s incorporate the interactions between multiple depositional systems in fault-confined basins that this and other recent studies highlight https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤗" title="Umarmendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Umarmendes Gesicht">

Takeaway 2: The independent volume balancing approach could be applied to other rift basin-fills to identify through-going sediment input points and maybe also areas of sediment bypass https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥳" title="Partying face" aria-label="Emoji: Partying face">
