Full Details

Seismic geomorphology is the application of analytical techniques traditionally used in the study of landforms to the analysis of ancient, buried geomorphological surfaces as imaged by 3D seismic data. This conference is a natural follow-up of the 2005 SEPM - GSL conference on Seismic Geomorphology: Applications to Hydrocarbon Exploration and Production, as it now focuses on one of the critical depositional areas for the industry. The study of seafloor and shallowly buried deepwater analogues is as important to the understanding of deep marine depositional processes as the study of modern environments is to our understanding of fluvial and shallow-marine environments. In fact, these sub-seafloor studies follow in the great tradition established by earlier clastic sedimentologists in using modern systems to understand ancient environments.
