    Abstract

    Subsidence diagrams for three of the structural units in the Danish Central Graben, the Southern Salt-dome Province, the Tail End Graben and the area east of the Dogger High show that the main subsidence took place in the Late Jurassic and in the Neognene/Quaternary with maximum subsidence rates of 160 m per M.y. and 125 m per M.y., respectively. The influence of compaction is considered to be of minor importance while a correction for uplift and erosion is necessary for the understanding of the dynamic history of the area.
