Sequence Stratigraphic Interpretation and Mapping, New Jersey Margin

Abstract

This project forms part of a long-term effort, linked to ONR's STRATAFORM program, to document the evolution of the middle Atlantic continental shelf and slope, offshore New Jersey, at a variety of spatial scales (lateral and vertical) and in three dimensions (3-D; Austin et al., 1996; 1997). The overall goal is to determine how short-term geological processes contribute to the formation of the preserved record of depositional sequences.
