Abstract

The subject of this thesis is a study of the sedimentary development of passive continental margins. The results are based on a newly developed numerical model. It is three-dimensional, dynamic and applies to large time (several 100s kyr) and spatial (~100 x 300 km) scales. The model set-up is deliberately straightforward to promote computation speed.
