Advanced Sequence Stratigraphic Concepts

A course covering recent advances in sequence stratigraphy as well as dynamically illustrating the fundamentals of accommodation and stratal geometries. This highly stimulating seminar illustrates the development of stratal geometries (documented and those to recently discovered to reach the press) with dynamic animations. This 2 day workshop provides you with a set of depositional analogs for solving stratigraphic problems. It is an in-depth presentation on the fundamental controls on stratigraphy and on stratigraphic simulation using Phil 1.5.

The topics covered include:

• Variations from the standard sequence stratigraphic model
• How the water level cycle model is expressed within the setting you are working
• How to analyze the development of structures and stratal geometries
• How to recognize the stratigraphic signatures of sediment supply, tectonic, and water level variations
• The response of traction, suspension and gravity flow transport, and erosion to water level, sediment supply and tectonic variations
• The response of carbonate and mixed carbonate and siliciclastic systems to variations in sediment supply, water level and tectonism
• The effects of flexure loading, compaction, and tectonic subsidence on sequence geometries

• Simplified Theoretical Models.
• Cretaceous and Tertiary in the Gulf Coast, Texas
• Baltimore Canyon Trough, New Jersey
• Last Chance Canyon, New Mexico
• Central Basin Graben, North Sea
• Pannonian Basin, Hungary

The workshop is held in English with some translation to Spanish or German.
