“…More recently, inversion techniques (Lessenger & Lerche, 1999) have been applied in conjunction with forward stratigraphic models to extract information about the environmental and tectonic conditions responsible for the development of stratigraphic sections (Bornholdt et al, 1999;Cross et al, 1999;Imhof & Sharma, 2006a;Karssenberg et al, 2007;Lessenger & Cross, 1996), and validated with synthetic or small-scale data sets (e.g. Crombez et al, 2020;Ducros et al, 2023;Imhof & Sharma, 2006b;Karssenberg et al, 2001;Mahmudova et al, 2023;Patani et al, 2021;Sacchi et al, 2015;Wijns et al, 2004). The inverse modelling aligns or calibrates the forward model with target data and produces an estimate of the most probable input parameters.…”
