Fluvial-style migration controls autogenic aggradation in submarine channels: Joshua Channel, eastern Gulf of Mexico

Fluvial-style migration controls autogenic aggradation in submarine channels: Joshua Channel, eastern Gulf of Mexico

There has been debate over the processes acting on deep-water channels, with comparisons made to the evolution of meandering fluvial systems. We characterized a three-dimensional seismic-reflection da…

Stratigraphy in space and time: A reproducible approach to analysis and visualization

Stratigraphy in space and time: A reproducible approach to analysis and visualization

Time-elevation plots and chronostratigraphic diagrams are valuable for understanding and analyzing stratigraphy when time-elevation data, or some approximation of them, are available, for example in f…

Submarine‐channel meandering reset by landslide filling, Taranaki Basin, New Zealand

Submarine‐channel meandering reset by landslide filling, Taranaki Basin, New Zealand

Submarine channels offshore New Zealand were filled with mass transport deposits and this resulted in a reset of the systematic migration of the channels

Chronostratigraphic log correlation in the Permian Basin

Automated multi-well stratigraphic correlation and model building using relative geologic time

Stratigraphic correlation of geophysical well logs is one of the most importantand most time-consuming—tasks that applied geoscientists perform on a daily basis. Using the dynamic time warping (DTW) a…

Channel trajectories control deep-water stratigraphic architecture

Channel trajectories control deep-water stratigraphic architecture

Interpretation of deep-water channel deposits is challenging because the spatial arrangement of their constituent lithologies is highly variable. This variability is often thought to be a signature of…
