Imaging beneath the Florida Escarpment progressing from 2D, 3D and anisotropy : A case history

Abstract

The Florida escarpment is one of the most dramatic bathymetric features in the Eastern Gulf. In places it reaches more than 1600m above the abyssal seafloor. Dips of 40 degrees are frequent, and vertical cliffs are not uncommon 1. This feature along with geological complexities of carbonate and salt regimes present imaging challenges that are addressed through the use of: • True azimuth 3D SRME
