Geodynamic modelling of aspects of the Bowen, Gunnedah, Surat and Eromanga basins from the perspective of convergent margin processes

Geodynamic modelling of selected aspects of the Bowen, Gunnedah, Surat and Eromanga basins constrains the mechanisms that were operating during their formation. For the Bowen and Gunnedah basins, a quantitative analysis of the early Late Permian to Middle Triassic foreland loading phase examined the relative roles of static loading versus dynamic loading associated with the convergent plate margin. Subsidence in the initial foreland phase in the early Late Permian is consistent with platform tilting due to corner flow in the mantle associated with west-directed subduction. Later in the Late Permian, platform tilting probably continued to be the dominant cause of subsidence, but increasing amounts of subsidence due to foreland loading occurred as the thrust front in the New England Orogen migrated westward. In the latest Permian and Early Triassic, static flexural loading due to foreland loads is dominant and may be the sole cause for basin subsidence. For the Surat and Eromanga basins, the tectonic subsidence across an east-west transect is modelled to assess the contribution of dynamically-induced platform tilting, due to viscous mantle corner flow, in basin subsidence. The modelling suggests that subsidence was again controlled by dynamic platform tilting, which provides a mechanism for both the nearfield and farfield effects. Uplift of the Eastern Highlands in the mid-Cretaceous may also be related to viscous corner flow driven by west-directed subduction beneath eastern Australia, with the uplift being due to rebound of the lithosphere after the cessation of subduction.
