“…This time also coincided with the start of progradation of a major sedimentary system (prodelta-delta-delta plain) of the Havert Formation out of the Uralian foreland basin and Kara Sea into the Barents Sea Basin (Fig. 3C;Puchkov, 2009;Glørstad-Clark et al, 2010;Norina et al, 2014). At the same time, around the Permian-Triassic transition (Vigran et al, 2014), smaller sedimentary systems started to prograde from the Fennoscandian Shield into the Barents Sea Basin (Glørstad-Clark et al, 2010;Henriksen et al, 2011a;Hall, 2015), and from Greenland into the Barents Sea Basin in Svalbard ( Fig.…”

Present-day catchments adjacent to sedimentary basins may preserve geomorphic elements that have been active through long intervals of time. Relicts of ancient catchments in present-day landscapes may be investigated using mass-balance models andcan give important information about upland landscape evolution and reservoir distribution in adjacent basins. However, such methods are in their infancy and are often difficult to apply in deep-time settings due to later landscape modification.The southern Barents Sea margin of N Norway and NW Russia is ideal for investigating source-to-sink models, because it has been subject to minor tectonic activity since the Carboniferous, and large parts have eluded significant Quaternary glacial erosion. A zone close to the present-day coast has likely acted as the boundary between basin and catchments since the Carboniferous. Around the Permian-Triassic transition, a large delta system started to prograde from the same area as the present-day largest river in the area, the Tana River, which has long been interpreted to show features indicating that it was developed prior to present-day topography. We performed a source-to-sink study of this ancient system in order to investigate potential linkages between present-day geomorphology and ancient deposits.We investigated the sediment load of the ancient delta using well, core, twodimensional and three-dimensional seismic data, and digital elevation models to investigate the geomorphology of the onshore catchment and surrounding areas. Our results imply that the present-day

“…The sediments filling in the GBSB originated mainly in the east (e.g. Artyushkov et al, 2014;Bergan & Knarud, 1993;Bue & Andresen, 2014;Eide et al, 2018;Fleming et al, 2016;Klausen et al, 2015;Mørk, Dallmann, et al, 1999;Mørk, Elvebakk, et al, 1999;Norina et al, 2014;Stoupakova, 2001). Thus, the Russian parts of the basin are proximal and the Norwegian parts of the basin are more distal.…”

“…The Greater Barents Sea Basin (GBSB, Figure 1) in Arctic Russia and Norway, was an enormous (c. 1,200 km EW, 1,800 km NS) sedimentary basin which accommodated a sedimentary succession up to 4.5 kilometres thick during Triassic (Glørstad‐Clark et al., 2010; Henriksen, Ryseth, et al., 2011; Klausen et al., 2015; Norina et al., 2014). With an area of 2 500 000 km 2 , the GBSB was about three times the size of the Northwestern Australian Shelf, five times the size of the North Sea and six times the size of the N Gulf of Mexico shelf.…”

Around the Permian-Triassic transition, a large delta system started to prograde from the same area as the present-day largest river in the area, the Tana River, which has long been interpreted to show features indicating that it was developed prior to present-day topography. We performed a source-to-sink study of this ancient system in order to investigate potential linkages between present-day geomorphology and ancient deposits.We investigated the sediment load of the ancient delta using well, core, twodimensional and three-dimensional seismic data, and digital elevation models to investigate the geomorphology of the onshore catchment and surrounding areas. Our results imply that the present-day GSA Bulletin; January/February 2018; v. 130 Tana catchment was formed close to the Permian-Triassic transition, and that the Triassic delta system has much better reservoir properties compared to the rest of Triassic basin infill. This implies that landscapes may indeed preserve catchment geometries for extended periods of time, and it demonstrates that source-to-sink techniques can be instrumental in predicting the extent and quality of subsurface reservoirs.
