... The focus of this study will be an investigation of the sedimentary basin fill and its evolution in the Carboniferous foreland basin of Northern Germany. The available database comprises industry seismics and well material, together with DEKROP deep-seismic profiles research wells from eastern Germany. Interpreted profiles and core material will be integrated into a sequence stratigraphic model for the region which can be related to the controlling mechanisms on basin formation, namely, regional subsidence related to flexure of the lithospheric plate on which the basin is located, and secondary controls such as local lithology, climate and eustatic sea level.
