Impact Factor: 2.086
Basin Research is an international journal which aims to publish original, high impact research papers on sedimentary basin systems. We view integrated, interdisciplinary research as being essential for the advancement of the subject area; therefore, we do not seek manuscripts focused purely on sedimentology, structural geology, or geophysics that have a natural home in specialist journals. Rather, we seek manuscripts that treat sedimentary basins as multi-component systems that require a multi-faceted approach to advance our understanding of their development. During deposition and subsidence we are concerned with large-scale geodynamic processes, heat flow, fluid flow, strain distribution, seismic and sequence stratigraphy, modelling, burial and inversion histories. In addition, we view the development of the source area, in terms of drainage networks, climate, erosion, denudation and sediment routing systems as vital to sedimentary basin systems. The underpinning requirement is that a contribution should be of interest to earth scientists of more than one discipline.

Basin Research Studentship Prize 2009
The Basin Research Studentship Prize, now in it's third year, was designed to acknowledge and support young scientists in the field of sedimentary basin research. Students attending and presenting at the American Geophysical Union Meeting (AGU) in December 2009 are invited to complete an application form stating objectives of their PhD and the title of their planned presentation.
The deadline for submission is October 30th 2009.
Application will be short listed by our high profile Editorial Board. The winner, announced in November 2009, will receive a cash contribution towards attending AGU. Acknowledgement will be made at AGU and the winner will be highlighted on the Basin Research homepage.
Complete your application online here.
Winner 2008
Basin Research is delighted to announce Long Van Hoang as the Winner of the Studentship Prize for 2008 for his presentation - 'Regional Tectonic And Climatic controls On The Evolution Of The Song Hong-Yinggehai And Qiongdongnan Sedimentary Basins, South China Sea'. Due to the high standard of entries, two further commendations were also awarded to David Foster for 'Landscape evolution in the northern Basin and Range. USA'and Carla Sanchez for 'Three-dimensional Architecture of Neogene Mixed Carbonate-Siliciclastic Sequences, Australian Northwest Shelf'.
