Short Introduction/Description/Abstract
The main focus of the Cortec Project "Towards a correlation of basement structures and sedimentary basin tectonics" is the investigation of the influence of deep-seated crustal features on near surface structures in the german part of the southern North Sea basin.
Using the data set from the "Geotectonic Atlas of Northwest Germany" in combination with additional gravity and magnetic data as well as a large reflection seismic profile net in the German Bay with a total length of 3.500 km, provided by TGS NOPEC, it is possible to find answers to questions which are tied to data evaluation, storage, handling and visualization, and to 3D modelling of geological processes and structures. In this diverse study, which spans computer sciences and geological applications, we will focus on structural and kinematic modelling of the Northwest German Basin and also on aspects related to the user interface that facilitates the geological and geophysical interpretation.
Main goals are: - Correlation of basement structures with sedimentary basin tectonics.
- Integration of seismic modelling with 3D density modelling and construction of a 3D GIS.
- Calculation of the isostatic residual map to test the state of isostatic balancing of the basin under different lithospheric rigidities.
- 3D gravity backstripping to produce a residual gravity map of the underlying Pre-Zechstein formations.
- Fluid and Gas migration
- Salt tectonics
