Abstract
Abstract: Pleistocene Climates, Sea Level and
the Seismic Stratigraphic Record
By
High-resolution seismic records from the northern Gulf
of Mexico reveal the fine-scale details of the seismic
stratigraphy at the shelf edge and within deep water
depositional environments. The high frequency records,
commonly used for offshore 
engineering
studies, provide an
excellent tool towards understanding the detailed relationship
between climate, sea level and the resulting seismic
stratigraphy. Applications include: paleoenvironmental
studies, reservoir engineering, petroleum exploration and
the assessment of sea floor engineering
properties.
Quality high-resolution seismic records permit the correlation between small scale climatic changes and the 3-D configuration of sedimentary deposits, including systems tracts and short term events such as slumping and diapiric movements.
