Abstract：Source-to-Sink (S2S) system has attracted a wide attention,and currently becomes the important issues covered in earth science field.As important composing of S2S,the continental basin,unlike marine continental margin basin,consist of multiple units or elements,complex sediment process,various sedimentary system,and unpredictable coupling model in the source to sink system.However,at present such domestic concern of S2S in the continental basin is still at an early stage.The S2S system in the continental basins consist essentially of sediment supply,transport and depositional dynamic processes and mechanisms,deep-time paleoclimate and S2S analysis,the morphological and sedimentological aspect of erosional depositional systems,elemental analysis and coupling model investigation of S2S system.Multiple methods in sediment tracing based on borehole,core and other test data to reveal paleo-provenance and reconstruct paleo-drainage in the continental basin.Then,seismic geomorphology or sedimentology based on high resolution 3D seismic data provides a tool for study of subsurface depositional geomorphology and processes.Focus on S2S relationships for various source-rock combinations,new method for S2S study by integrating modern system and subsurface interpretation,establishment of quantitative relationship from source to sink,and form industrial application standard are the research trends of S2S system in the continental basins.
