Abstract
C047 Using Seismic Velocity to Estimate Denudation West of Ireland F. Biancotto (Trinity College Dublin) R. Hardy* (Trinity College Dublin) S. M. Jones (Trinity College Dublin) D. Brennan (Trinity College Dublin) & N.J. White (University of Cambridge) SUMMARY Estimating the temporal and spatial variation of uplift and denudation is important in exploration of the Slyne basin West of Ireland. Commonly used methods such as apatite fission track analysis are restricted to sparse well data and so the spatial coverage is limited. Results are also variable. In this paper we apply a new inverse method which calculates denudation from carefully calibrated
