The collection of extended and updated abstracts presented here resulted from a two-day workshop of the Collaborative Research Centre ‘Interactions between and Modelling of Continental Geo-Systems’ (SFB 350) held on 19th and 20th November, 1999 at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn. This workshop was entitled ‘Rift Tectonics and Syngenetic Sedimentation - the Cenozoic Lower Rhine Graben and Related Structures’. Its central topic was devoted to various approaches of understanding the evolution of a young graben structure, with the aim to trace the interaction of tectonics, sedimentation, facies development, burial history, and coherent structural behaviour by integration of geodetic, seismological, gravimetric, sedimentological, paleontological, and climatological data.
