High-resolution Seismic Surveying for Neogene-Quaternary Sequence Stratigraphy, Northern California Continental Shelf and Upper Slope, in Support of STRATAFORM

Abstract

The goal of STRATAFORM is to link short-term biological and physical processes affecting sedimentation ("event" stratigraphy" developed over hours to weeks) to the stratigraphic geometry and facies distribution of the upper ~100 m of continental margin sediments representing ~106 years of preserved record.
