Interpreting a seismic profile - deepwater Nigeria

Part of The Shear Zone Channel. Rob interprets and comments on a 2D seismic profile that images the subsurface beneath part of the seabed of the Atlantic. Using the "regional" concept, the interpretation is of fold and thrust structures - and involves identifying the pre-, syn- and post-kinematic stratigraphic megasequences. Check out the playlists on seismic interpretation and on structural geology for more videos.

Rob, thanks once again for such a good video. Please keep them coming!

Thanks Rob, it s very useful and your enlightening

Rob you are really doing a good Job. I wanted to request a video on interpreting trapping mechanisms on seismic profiles

Great, different layers reveals their time order and also a contractional regime in the surface of the passive continental crust. Below the decollement and the left fold-thrust system, can the white zone be taken as transition zone in structural dynamic regime, or a zone with strike slipping? And still below that, the red boundary line is bended down, showing that's in the extensional regime.

Thank you so much this video is so clear! This has been really useful for my Uni studies

very nice, I really enjoyed that, thank you. Is -non-unique' a fancy way of saying 'could well be wrong'?
