Orbital Cyclicities Records In Offshore Seismic

OFFER DESCRIPTION The presence of marine sediment deposition cycles controlled by orbital climatic variations (Milankovitch cycles) is well established on lithological, geochemical, and physical parameters of rocks and sediments sampled both in outcrop and in cores recovered from various scientific drilling programs of the ocean floor (now IODP).
There is still no quantitative evidence of the presence of such cycles in reflection seismic data.
The purpose of the research fellowship is to develop a theoretical basis for various types of seismic data acquisition, to develop oneor more digital models for simulating the seismic response of lithological series containing Milankovitch cyclicities, and to analyse the data available within the IODP program to identify cases in which Milankovitch cyclity can be demonstrated in the reflection seismic data.The activity will be carried out in the frame of the ESSAC Office financing.
