About this Item

Summary:The spatial extent and quality of seismic and subsurface datasets have substantially improved in recent years due to traditional hydrocarbon activities and the emergence of green technologies like offshore wind. This volume investigates the opportunities for (re)investigating past environments using seismic geomorphology and its integration with other datasets.

About this title

Synopsis

Since the last Special Publication on seismic geomorphology, the application of seismic data has grown substantially, revolutionizing our understanding of basin evolution in the process. The papers collected here are from a range of different environments, consisting of glacial, fluvial, volcanic, deltaic and slope settings. This work provides insight into the direction of travel for seismic geomorphological analyses and how the science has evolved since 2007. New methods of data collection, processing, visualization, and the integration of new types of datasets, help to maximize the palaeoenvironmental knowledge that can be derived from such studies. Many of these studies integrate different methods and datasets, such as machine learning and borehole petrophysics, or even combine (re)assessments of newly released legacy data to explore subsurface characteristics at scales never observed before. This provides significant new knowledge on not just palaeoenvironments, but also what generates seismic reflectivity in the subsurface. The study of seismic geomorphology remains in its infancy and much exciting research potential is yet to be realized.
