Description

• Deep-water heterogeneity research focus -Framework for exploring deep-water heterogeneity at large (seismic) scale: seafloor and shallow subsurface Taranaki Basin
• Up- to down-dip changes in channel networks
• Interaction of channels with mass-transport deposits (i.e., submarine landslides) -
• Focus on sand-prone architectural elements- channel and lobe deposits
• Small (outcrop) to large (seismic) scale
• Architectural element geometries
• Stacking patterns and evolution
