Abstract:

Sedimentary dynamics of basin or sediment filling dynamics of basin, a frontier in sedimentary basin analysis and petroleum geologic research, highlights the response relationship between basin filling characteristics and formation processes, as well as its controlling mechanisms.The status and trend of the study were documented considering the geographical features and research practices of sedimentary basins in China.The main themes include:① sequence architecture of sedimentary basins, as well as structure, evolution and process responses of depositional system tracts;② tectono-sedimentology or tectono-stratigraphy;③ "Source-to-Sink" system and sediment dispersal systems in basins;④ simulation of basin filling processes and so on.Analysis of sedimentary basin filling dynamics will continue to provide high-resolution sedimentary records for geodynamics, and theoretical support for the exploration and development of depositional geological resources, which have become increasingly difficult.The study betokens profound and new prospects.

Key words: basinal stratigraphic architecture, tectonic-sedimentary analysis of basins, “Source-to-Sink&rdquo, system, depositional process simulation, sedimentary system, sedimentary dynamics of basin, analysis of sedimentary basins
