Research Interests

  • Seismic Stratigraphy and 3-D Seismic Geomorphology, including seismic sequence analysis, seismic facies analysis, and 3-D seismic geomorphologic reconstruction by various slicing and attribute analysis techniques.Current interests focus on the deep-water turbidites and associated gravity flow deposits in the South China Sea.
