The stratigraphic record of submarine-channel evolution

Submarine-channel systems record basin-margin sediment dispersal and can host signi cant natural resources.We review the facies architecture (i.e., facies heterogeneity and stacking patterns) of outcr…

A new approach for conditioning process-based geologic models to well data

Generating a realistic earth model that simultaneously fits data observed at multiple well locations has been a long-standing problem in petroleum geology. Two insights are offered for solving this pr…

Rapid Adjustment of Submarine Channel Architecture To Changes In Sediment Supply

Changes in sediment supply and caliber during the last ∼ 130 ka have resulted in a complex architectural evolution of the Y channel system on the western Niger Delta slope. This evolution consists of …

Stratigraphic rule-based reservoir modeling

Generating a realistic earth model that simultaneously fits data observed at multiple well locations has been a long-standing problem in petroleum geology. Two insights are offered for solving this pr…

Stratigraphic evolution of intraslope minibasins: Insights from surface-based model

Although numerous case studies exist to illustrate the large-scale stratigraphic architecture of salt-withdrawal minibasins, there is no clear understanding of how stratal patterns emerge as a functio…

Key Future Directions For Research On Turbidity Currents and Their Deposits

Turbidity currents, and other types of submarine sediment density flow, redistribute more sediment across the surface of the Earth than any other sediment flow process, yet their sediment concentratio…
