“…(1) depth-dependent extension (Royden & Keen 1980;Hellinger & Sclater 1983;Watts & Thorne 1984;Morgan et al 1985); (2) lateral heat flow (Steckler 1981;Cochran 1983;Alvarez et al 1984;Buck et al 1988); and (3) secondary convection under rift shoulders (Keen 1985;Steckler 1985;Buck 1986). In addition, representing permanent uplift mechanisms, they are driven by: (1) magmatic underplating (Cox 1980;Ewart et al 1980;McKenzie 1984;White & McKenzie 1988); (2) flexural-isostatic uplift (Watts et al 1982;Gilchrist & Summerfield 1990;Weissel & Karner 1994); and (3) lithospheric unloading and/or ductile necking (Zuber & Parmentier 1986;Parmentier 1987;Braun & Beaumont 1989;Issler et al 1989;Chery et al 1992;Weissel & Karner 1994), Further contribution comes from: (1) the erosional unloading of margin coupled with depositional loading of basin (e.g.…”

“…11). Thus, headward erosion reached a maximum no later than early Paleocene and may correlate with sea level lowstands or with fluctuating rates of sea level change (Watts and Thorne, 1984). A time correlative fan sequence does not occur in the Schubenacadie basin, but such a sequence may be too thin to identify with these data.…”

“…6 and 7). Available biostratigraphy is inadequate to correlate seismic stratigraphy with higher order features in global sea level curves (Vail and Hardenbol, 1979;Watts and Thorne, 1984;Miller et al, 1984 …”

“…Basement-sediment and the upper sediment interfaces were modeled using sigmoidal functions. Their shape was inspired from the geometry of the North American Atlantic passive margin (Watts and Thorne, 1984), which may have been a modern analogue to the pre-collisional northern Indian passive margin (Brookfield, 1993). Total length of the margin sediment succession was set to 600 km, following Brookfield (1993) and in agreement with back-stripping reconstructions of Liu and Einsele (1994) and Guillot et al (2008).…”
