Zusammenfassung	Basin subsidence analysis is the quantitative study of how sedimentary basins deepen over geological time, driven by tectonics, isostasy, and load. Formalized by McKenzie (1978) and Sclater and Christie (1980), this method reveals the mechanical causes of basin development, predicts subsurface temperature and pressure histories, and constrains petroleum generation. Analysis integrates well stratigraphy, seismic geometry, gravity data, and thermal models to reconstruct basin evolution.	Paleomagnetism analysis is the study of ancient magnetic properties of rocks, measuring fossil magnetization to determine paleomagnetic field history and assign geological ages. Pioneered by Brunhes (1906) and systematized by Tauxe (2010), this method reveals geomagnetic reversals, polar wander paths, and paleomagnetic chronology independent of fossil biostratigraphy. Analysis integrates laboratory rock magnetism with field sampling to build high-resolution timescales and constrain plate motion.
