Abstract:

Unfolding itself first with record and reconstruction of multiple-episode thermal evolution,the paper introduces the basic principles and methods adopted in conventional thermal history reconstruction,summarizes the latest advancement in the research of palaeotemperature scale and basin models,and proposes a possible system of thermal reconstruction for paleo-marine basins as well as related working methods,which puts emphasis on both basin scale and lithosphere scale and integrates multiple palaeotemperature scales with basin models.Hopefully,they may lead to comprehensive discussion and thinking over the issue and promote the advancement of thermal reconstruction for paleo-marine basins.

Key words: multiple episode thermal evolution, method system of thermal history reconstruction, marine basin
