Quantitative Clastics Laboratory
[Enter site]
The Quantitative Clastics Laboratory (QCL) carries out geologic studies of the processes, tectonics, and quantitative morphology of basins around the world. QCL research emphasizes the use of mega-merged 3D seismic data sets for quantitative seismic geomorphologic study of the basin fill, evaluation of source-to-sink relationships between the shelf, slope and deep basin and analyses of the influence of tectonics and fluids (such as gas hydrates) on the evolution of these complex continental margin settings. The program was established in 2001 and is funded by a consortium of oil companies and supported by numerous software vendors and foreign energy ministries. The QCL is widely considered the world's premier research group in the application of seismic geomorphology to reservoir characterizations, and is a Jackson School of Geosciences collaboration between the Department of Geosciences, the Bureau of Economic Geology and the Institute for Geophysics.
BEG Houston Research Center, Houston, Texas
February 14–15, 2013
On February 14, the QCL will hold its annual Deep-Water Systems Meeting in the BEG Houston Research Center, Texas. This meeting will be followed by a 1-day core workshop on February 15 that will focus on several deepwater core from the Gulf of Mexico. The first day of the meeting, Thursday, February 14, will be spent in the main conference room reviewing the larger body of research being done in the area of deep-water stratigraphy and sedimentation.
Our students and researchers will present current work that is being performed in the Taranaki Basin, the Gulf of Mexico, Trinidad and offshore Norway, among other locations. Primary themes during the meeting will include discussions on sedimentary and erosional processes in ultra deep-water (>1500 m WD) settings, nature of the interaction between current-controlled and gravity-driven processes, significance of morphological variabilities within continental scale clinoforms and importance of underlying structural controls on deep-water sedimentation. In addition, we will cover the interaction of structure and sedimentation beneath the Neogene in the Gulf of Mexico, and review learnings from physical modeling studies for predicting the nature of and processes involved in mini-basin filling. Come join us for what promises to be a very exciting and productive meeting.
