Abstract
Abstract: Environmental Geology and Cyclostratigraphy
of the Pleistocene in the Northern Gulf of Mexico Region
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:
paleo-environmental 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.
