“…Significant and spatially extensive deviations from a steadystate thermal configuration are often difficult to detect in the basin due to the smoothing effect of heat diffusion in crustal rocks and the low thermal conductivity of the sedimentary rocks. Despite these challenges, constraining timeintegrated thermal histories is crucial for understanding diagenetic processes, hydrocarbon generation and migrations, as well as large-scale tectonic and geodynamic processes (Ceriani et al, 2021;Corrado et al, 2020;Di Giulio et al, 2021;Gusmeo et al, 2021;Schneider & Issler, 2019). For instance, studies of sedimentary basins from the Alps (Mazurek et al, 2006) and Apennines (Cibin et al, 2003;Zattin et al, 2000) have shown how tectonic and magmatic processes can affect the burial history and result in multiple thermal events with diverse intensity, age, and duration that are difficult to disentangle.…”
