The Continental Margins Research Group integrates the academic researchers at the Department of Earth Sciences at Royal Holloway who are experts in the study of rifted continental margin processes occurring from plate to reservoir scale with industry partners involved in exploration and R&D activities on continental margins.
Our aim is to improve understanding of the feedbacks between margin processes occurring at different temporal and spatial scales, and ultimately to improve rifted continental margin process analysis and petroleum system prediction
The unique aspect of the Continental Margins Research Group is the integrated and multi-disciplinary analysis of geodynamic, lithospheric, tectonic and sedimentary processes that leading to basin formation and the genesis of petroleum systems on rifted continental margins.
