Abstract

Alluvial deposits in the subsurface are essential for geo-energy production and storage in many regions worldwide. Accurate correlation and characterisation of alluvial stratigraphy requires an understanding of how river channels were spatially deposited, and which geomorphological processes acted upon them. This doctoral dissertation the potential of orbital forced cyclic climate control on fluvial systems and its application to reservoir characterisation and subsurface correlation. It discusses the correlation between cyclic arrangements of floodplain strata and corresponding sandstone occurrence based on an analogue outcrop study. Subsequently the methods and concepts are applied on two subsurface case studies where correlation and characterisation of the reservoir is attempted.
