This thesis investigates the influence of Pleistocene glaciations on parts of the subsurface in Central and North Europe. Two sedimentary systems, the Netherlands and the northern Barents Sea, were selected as the main study areas because they are regarded as two end members of glacial ice coverage and duration. Numerical basin modeling is used as the main tool in this study to enhance the understanding of glacial-related influences on different parameters in the subsurface, e.g., temperature distribution, rock properties, and fluid migration. Chapter 2 presents an integrated 3D numerical basin modeling and seismic interpretation study of the onshore northeastern Netherlands, where burial and temperature histories were reconstructed for four different geological structural elements (Groningen Platform, Lauwerszee Trough, Friesland Platform, and Lower Saxony Basin).
