High resolution seismic stratigraphy: a new approach showing new possibilities of seismic profiling

Seismic sequences analysis elaborated by the US scientists (P. Vail et al) has been promoted in many countries . In the Russian Federation this analysis is widely applied. In this presentation we shall discuss some results of theoretical and practical investigations . High resolution (fine-layer) seismic stratigraphy operates with objects smaller than a seismic sequence . According to their size magnitude the odjects are classified as sesmic packages and seismic quanta, the explanation of these terms being Biven .
