Sedimentary systems in extensional settings usually record the interplay among fault activity, accommodation-space development, and sediment-transport pathways. This session seeks contributions that elucidate these processes across multiple scales — from outcrop observations to seismic imaging. We invite contributions that explore sedimentary architectures, fault‑controlled stratigraphy, and basins evolution using field data, seismic interpretation, analogue or numerical modelling at continental margins. Emphasis is placed on approaches that bridge scales or datasets to improve our understanding of how extensional tectonics shape depositional systems and the stratigraphic record. Applications to energy resources and the broader evolution of margins are particularly encouraged.
