Controls on accommodation during the early-middle Campanian in southern Alberta, western Canada foreland system

The Western Canada Sedimentary Basin is a retroarc foreland system produced by thrust sheet loading in the Canadian Cordillera and resultant flexural displacement of the lithosphere east of the orogenic front. Theoretical models of flexural tectonism and dynamic loading have long been used to predict the effects of these controls on the creation/destruction of accommodation in retroarc foreland settings, however, few field studies have attempted...
