Hydrogeochemical Field of the
Alpine Mobile Belt Basins
The extent of the geochemistry knowledge for individual Alpine basins
substantially differs depending on the achievement level of the hydrogeol-
ogy as a whole and the significance assigned in different countries to these
studies in the petroleum geology domain. The most complete studies of
the underground water were conducted in the former USSR (the South
Caspian Basin, Carpathian, Indolo-Kuban and Tersk-Caspian foredeeps),
in the Viennese Depression (Austria) and Los-Angeles Basin (USA). More
limited studies cover the Maracaibo Basin (Venezuela) and Padan Basin
(Italy). The information about the Irrawaddy-Andaman Basin (Burma)
and Zagros foredeep (Iran) is limited.
This Chapter was based on numerous publications listed in the Literature
section of this topic.
