| Popis: |
Seismic modeling of experimental stratigraphy provides a far more realistic framework for studying the seismic response of stratigraphy through synthetic modeling than has previously been available. The XS basin, a unique facility developed at the University of Minnesota, paves the way for a detailed study of the evolution of stratigraphy under controlled rates of sea-level changes, sediment supply and subsidence. The stratigraphy generated by this experimental basin approaches the appearance and complexity found in sedimentary bodies ranging in scale from bedforms to continental margins. We describe a preliminary methodology to map digital photographs of the resulting stratigraphy into acoustic models that are then used as input to seismic modeling algorithms. |
