Description :
This paper will use 3D seismic data from the Dogger Bank, Southern North Sea, in order to demonstrate how the use of 3D seismic data, and the techniques developed by the petroleum industry for its analysis, can provide an efficient way of generating regional models for the Late Pleistocene and Holocene. The data demonstrate that glacial processes resulted in the development of incised tunnel valley systems during the Weichselian and that these were subsequently modified by fluvial processes in a pro-glacial setting.
