pybacktrack.total_rift_subsidence

pybacktrack.total_rift_subsidence(beta, pre_rift_crustal_thickness, time, rift_end_time, rift_start_time=None)

Total subsidence as syn-rift plus post-rift.

Parameters:

  • beta (float) – Stretching factor.

  • pre_rift_crustal_thickness (float) – Initial crustal thickness prior to rifting (in metres).

  • time (float) – Time to calculate subsidence (in My).

  • rift_end_time (float) – Time at which rifting ended (in My).

  • rift_start_time (float, optional) – Time at which rifting started (in My). If not specified then assumes initial (non-thermal) subsidence happens instantaneously at rift_end_time. Defaults to rift_end_time.

Returns:

Total subsidence (in metres).

Return type:

float
