Integrated Sequence Stratigraphy: Advanced Simulation Techiques

PetroDynamics offers this course to help you integrate your geologic and geophysical data into a comprehensive framework that leverages much of what is known about stratigraphic processes, local stratal geometries, and water level history. From this information we derive tectonic and sediment supply histories for the section and predict stratal geometries and lithofacies distributions.
