PROCESS FOR A SEISMIC STRATIGRAPHIC INTERPRETATION

First identify the termination of seismic reflectors at discontinuity surfaces; then establish which of these surfaces form the sequence boundary. Follow this by demarking the geometries of the sequences and the systems tracts they include.

Working with a print of the downloaded seismic line:

1) From the base up identify and number the sequence boundaries. Also indicate the major faults. 2) Now indicate the positions of the systems tracts including "lowstand systems tracts", "transgressive systems tracts" and "highstand systems tracts". 3) Finally construct a chronostratigraphic chart for this seismic section using the methodology described in the section on chronostratigraphy.
