Abstract:Fault mapping is essential for understanding subsurface geological structure. However, effective training of students in developing and understanding fault patterns in 3D seismic imagery is impeded by the time-investment needed to acquire competence using software and then creating depth-structure maps of stratal horizons. Here an exercise is laid out that can achieve the desired experience - using the young fault systems of Afar (Djibouti), where former land-surface-defining basalt flows are offset by arrays … Show more
