3D Seismic surfaces for the Nadir Crater, offshore West Africa

Dataset title 3D Seismic surfaces for the Nadir Crater, offshore West Africa
Dataset creators Uisdean Nicholson, Heriot-Watt University
Dataset theme Geoscientific Information
Dataset abstract

This data includes 8 surfaces generated from 3D seismic interpretation of the Nadir Crater, offshore West Africa. These surfaces represent stratigraphic boundaries between the seabed and the top of Albian, and show the structural and stratigraphic characteristics of the Nadir Crater.

These surfaces correspond to individual maps and horizons shown in "3D anatomy of the Cretaceous-Paleogene age Nadir Crater" in Nature Communications Earth & Environment. https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-4363378/v1.

Dataset content dates 01/01/2019 - 31/12/2019
Dataset spatial coverage The data were collected offshore Guinea, West Africa, on the Guinea Plateau, at water depths of 60-4500 m
Dataset supply format The data are provided as .tif files (with depth data) for direct import into ArcGIS (for example) and a .ptd file for direct import into Petrel.
