MARIMBA

MARIMBA - Margins of the Atlantic Region Integrated Multidisciplinary Basin Analysis: Brazilian & West African basins

GIS-based integrated study of regional to sub-basin geology and geochemistry correlated to gravity and magnetic data with derived basement depth and sediment thickness inversions. Constraints include a sequence of plate reconstructions as images, contours and interpretation.
