Click on the paricular movie that you wish to view for more information about the individual simulations:
| Movie 1 | Simulation of the Balitmore Canyon, Offshore New Jersey |
| Movie 2 | Simulation of mixed carbonate and siliciclastic deposition (Central, PA) |
| Movie 3 | Low flux continental margin. |
| Movie 4 | Low flux thermal history. This illustrates the thermal evolution through time of the sedimentary basin. The temperature is approximately linearly proportional to depth. As the basin subsides the temperature of the sediments increase. So-called 'thermal blanketing' is a key control on the generation of petroleum by the 'cooking' of organic material. |
| Movie 5 | High Flux continental margin. This contrasts the first example by showing the evolution of a continental margin when there is a larger sediment supply. The shelf-slope transition is shifted oceanward. |
| Movie 6 | High flux thermal history. With more sediment, the basin is deeper and the sediments are hotter than in the previous example. |
