Integration of Seismic Geomorphology, Stratigraphy, and Borehole-derived Data for Paleo-environmental Reconstruction
Session ID#: 81167
Session Description:
Seismic geomorphology has recently gained popularity due to the availability of regional 3D seismic reflection datasets, affordable computational power, and advancements made in seismic interpretation and visualization techniques. It forms a powerful tool for paleo-environmental reconstructions of buried landscapes and seafloors, and for providing a convenient spatial framework for integration of borehole data to improve the geological understanding of different features, and to predict rock properties away from boreholes. Example reconstructions might relate to channel systems, mass-transport deposits, glacial landforms, igneous intrusions, salt tectonics, post-depositional deformation, methane hydrates, and subsurface fluid flow. We welcome submissions from a wide range of geological settings, thus, exposing seismic interpreters and non-specialists to a variety of geological perspectives, the latest seismic interpretation workflows, issues with equifinality, and examples of effective seismic-borehole integration, all under the theme of how these data are investigated, combined, and applied (e.g. paleo-environmental reconstruction, seafloor engineering, or carbon sequestration).
