millimeters to many hundreds of meters, representing time intervals from possibly seconds to …

The application of sequence stratigraphic models to seismic data is restricted by the vertical
and spatial resolution of the data. The fundamental stratigraphic unit of the sequence …

AAPG is a scientific and professional association dedicated to advancing the science of
