EVOLUTION OF FAULT POPULATIONS ON THE EXMOUTH PLATEAU, NORTH CARNARVON BASIN, NW SHELF OF AUSTRALIA: IMPLICATIONS FOR UNDERSTANDING SYN-TECTONIC CARBONATE PLATFORM GROWTH

Spring 2017

Fall 2018

By using high-quality 3D seismic data I will do a quantitative analysis of fault populations on Exmouth Plateau, NW shelf of Australia. The work will involve interpretation of 3D seismic data, employing quantitative fault analysis methods to constrain fault geometry, fault throw distribution and the distribution and thickness of syn-kinematic growth strata. This project will contribute to a better understanding of fault growth history, which will be key to understand whether/how faults have controlled the distribution and deposition of carbonate build ups.
