Understanding basin–fill evolution and the origin of stratal architectures has traditionally been based on studies of outcrops, well and seismic data, studies of and inferences on qualitative geological processes, and to a lesser extent based on quantitative observations of modern and ancient sedimentary environments. Insight gained on the basis of these studies can increasingly be tested and extended through the application of numerical and analogue forward models. Present–day stratigraphic forward modelling follows two principle lines: 1) the deterministic process–based approach, ideally with resolutionof the fundamental equations of fluid and sediment motion at all scales, and 2) the stochastic approach. The process–based approach leads to improved understanding of the dynamics (physics) of the system, increasing our predictive power of how systems evolve under various forcing conditions unlessthe system is highly non–linear and hence difficult or perhaps even...
