The Seismic Stratigraphy and Sedimentology research group uses the stratigraphic and sedimentary record to reconstruct basin evolution, tectonic and geodynamic processes, palaeoceanography, sediment routing, deepwater depositional processes and geological hazards. We are a multidisciplinary group and use a combination of different datasets and analytical approaches, including 2D and 3D seismic interpretation, sedimentary fieldwork, ocean drilling, geochemistry and numerical modelling.

We work with international partners to address these research themes, with recent projects in the UK, Taiwan, Japan, Indonesia and West Africa. We also have a strong affiliation with the International Ocean Discovery Program, with members of our group recently participating in the JTrack expedition offshore Japan
