The northern North Sea rift evolved through multiple rift phases within a highly heterogeneous crystalline basement. The geometry and evolution of syn‐rift depocentres during this multiphase evolution, and the mechanisms and extent to which they were influenced by pre‐existing structural heterogenei...
