Toward the calibration of 2D thermomechanical simulations of magma poor passive continental margins: method, validation and case example by Perron, Paul, Le Pourhiet, Laetitia, Jourdon, Anthony, Cornu, Tristan, Gout, Claude

“…Acknowledging structural inheritance as a form of kinematic forcing in the models, and recognizing the challenge of anticipating and identifying all inherited geological structures present before rifting, a new modeling approach was devised. This method integrates a new kinematic module into the pTatin2D code, allowing for calibrating numerical simulations with regional geological and geophysical dataset over time while solving for mechanical balance using Stokes flow to ensure that crustal deformation remains consistent with mantle dynamics. …”
