Non-standard Problems in Basin Modelling

Yurii Galushkin graduated from the Institute of Physics and Technology. Since 1975 he has dealt with the numerical simulation of the thermal field of both the oceanic and the continental lithosphere. He has developed a number of computer programs for modeling basins (the GALO package), which allow numerical simulation of the evolution of the thermal regime and the degree of maturation of organic matter of sedimentary basins in the various tectonic settings of their formation. The principles of operation of the software package and its application to the modeling of different sedimentary basins are discussed in several articles and books that Prof. Galushkin has published in English and Russian.
