N2 - Forward reconstructions of the (mainly) Mesozoic and younger rheological evolution have been made for four basins (Broad Fourteens Basin, Sole Pit Basin, Brittany Basin and the Iberian Basin) in a very consistent way by backstripping and automatic forward modeling of subsidence data, including potentially important effects of heat production, sediment infill and sedimentary blanketing. For default compositional and thermal parameters, the modeling results show strengthening in all basins, and in particular during inversion, with strength increases up to about 2 TN m
