Most of the chapters are separate publications (mainly pub-lished, under review or in preparation).Chapter 1: A general introduction is given to the reader on the control of foreland basins. After thenumerical background of the global and regional M simulations, a workflow is outlined, to process2geocoded ArcView data towards a 3D gOcad model, generating input files for Quoddy. Quoddy is aFortran77 finite element program that simulates tides and velocity fields in shallow waters.Chapter 2: An introduction to the palaeogeography of the early Miocene in global scale is given inchapter 2. The study presents the results of a global tidal M simulation. Aim of the study is to2evaluate proper tidal amplitudes at the open gateways of the Burdigalian Seaway, which linked thewestern Mediterranean (Marseille, France) with the Paratethys (Linz, Austria). The derived tidalamplitudes are used to drive the shallow water model in chapter 3.Bieg, U., Thomas, M.
