Description: Simulates the burial, compaction and thermal history of a
    sedimentary basin in one dimension, for geologists and stratigraphers.
    A basin is described by one row per stratigraphic unit and one row per
    erosion event, from which deposition phases, hiatuses, layer stacks,
    maximum-burial windows and grain (solid) thicknesses are derived.
    Compaction follows an exponential porosity-depth law and is irreversible,
    so uplifted layers keep the porosity acquired at their deepest burial.
    Temperatures follow the steady-state conductive geotherm of a layered
    column with radiogenic heat production. The methods follow the textbook
    treatment of Allen and Allen (2013, ISBN:978-0-470-67377-5). Functions
    are included to draw a composite figure of burial, temperature and
    hydrocarbon generation windows and a petroleum system event chart.
