Workflow chart showing the procedure of 2D kinematic forward modelling. A reference profile, depicting present-day, deformed state geometries, is constructed ‘ad hoc’ based on available geological maps, field data, bedding information, or borehole logs. Information on stratigraphic thicknesses is extracted from the reference model. Using predefined kinematic algorithms, a stratigraphic template is then deformed in a trial-and-error approach to reproduce geometries of the reference profile. This iterative workflow solves for the best-fit between the kinematically deformed layer cake model and the reference profile
