2D and 3D Modeling of the Stratigraphic Sequences at the Adriatic and Rhone Continental Margins

Abstract

My goal within the EuroSTRATAFORM program is to understand the creation of the preserved stratigraphic record on continental shelves and slopes as the product of physical processes acting with spatial and temporal heterogeneities. I have been using numerical models to provide insight into the formation and preservation of stratigraphic sequences at margins. My goal has been to obtain a quantitative understanding of the interactions of environmental parameters and their influence on stratal architecture and facies distribution. I wish to be able decipher the stratigraphy on margins to read the geologic record of the past and predict future stratigraphy.
