UNITES (UNcertainties and Interdisciplinary Transfers Through the End-to-End System)
Abstract
Our research group is collecting and analyzing various levels of high-resolution seismic data and cores, for ground-truthing seismic facies, on continental margins with a spectrum of depositional boundary conditions. The long-term goal of this work is develop stochastic models of variation of geotechnical and seismic property distribution on margins subjected to a spectrum of depositional regimes. The product of this research is are models of continental margins that show the probability of encountering a specific lateral distribution of geologic conditions as well as the probability that certain geologic/acoustic units will be lie beneath the seafloor and the various geologic units that lie at or near the seafloor. Essentially the product will be a measure of the level of 3-dimensional geologic variability that exists on continental margins subjected to various environmental conditions.
