Abstract: Pleistocene Climates, 
Sea
Level and
the Seismic Stratigraphic Record
Sea Level and
the Seismic Stratigraphic RecordBy
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.
