3D Seismics

A particular emphasis of the Group is to develop the application of 3D seismic technology to the analysis of depositional and deformational processes, and many of the research students in the Group base their research on the large archive of seismic data in the 3D Lab donated through collaborations with the petroleum industry. Recent developments in this rapidly evolving discipline include a seismic analysis of diagenesis and fluid flow on a basin scale, and the controls on highly focused fluid flow conduits in basins. The development of new quantitative methods in seismic interpretation is an emergent research topic within the 3D Lab.
