The topography and thermal history of Earth are controlled by the inherent links between lithospheric and crustal tectonics, mantle convection and surface processes, such as erosion and sedimentation coupled to climatic variations. The focus of this talk will be identifying the links between tectonic and surface processes and their role in sedimentary basin formation in extensional, compressional and transform settings.
