“…The measurements were initially carried out by the DInSAR approach, which has been used in geophysical sciences since the late 1980s (Gabriel et al 1989), and more recently by IPTA, a refined approach developed about 10 years later and included within the so-called persistent scatterer interferometry (PSI) approach (Usai and Klees 1999;Ferretti et al 2001;Werner et al 2003). DInSAR and IPTA have shown an impressive capability to measure land subsidence with a millimetric accuracy at an unprecedented level of spatial detail (Crosetto et al 2008).…”

“…The upper 50-70-mthick deposits, that is, the depth range of interest for this study, are composed of late Pleistocene and Holocene sediments. Their stratigraphic setting was characterized in detail by multidisciplinary analyses using cores and very high-resolution seismic (VHRS) surveys (e.g., Zecchin et al 2008;Tosi et al 2009b;Rizzetto et al 2010) (Fig. 2).…”

“…A comprehensive investigation is often challenging as the deposits are generally characterized by a large variability (e.g., Zecchin et al 2008). Usually, extensive nearshore marine geophysical investigations (e.g., continuous underwater seismic refraction) in shallow waters, typically less than 20 m deep, are used to extrapolate local properties derived from well logs (e.g., piezocone penetration tests) or geotechnical measurements carried out on cores sampled from boreholes (e.g., Whiteley and Stewart 2008).…”

“…For a more complete presentation of the seismic facies definition, see e.g. Cross and Lessenger (1988), Doliguez et al (2003), Gao (2007), Isler et al (2008), Miall (2006), Mitchum et al (1977), Moulière et al (1996), Tezcan and Okyar (2006), Wood (2007), Zecchin et al (2008), Zeng and Hentz (2004): -reflection configuration is the pattern formed by groups of reflections within the seismic facies. Reflection configurations reveal stratification patterns from which depositional processes and depositional topography can be inferred.…”

Résumé -Simulation de la distribution de faciès sismiques non stationnaires dans un environnement de plate-forme progradante -Un réseau dense de profils sismiques du delta sousmarin du Rhône en Méditerranée est utilisé pour construire un modèle stochastique d'un environnement de dépôt de plate-forme progradante, analogue à un réservoir pétrolier. L'altitude des limites supérieures et inférieures des unités sédimentaires est tout d'abord estimée par pointage sur les profils sismiques. La géométrie complète dans l'espace des enveloppes des sept unités stratigraphiques identifiées est ensuite estimée par une méthode géostatistique non stationnaire, après l'inférence de leurs fonctions de covariance généralisée par la méthode des incréments. Un modèle architectural complet en 3-D est alors construit en remplissant l'espace compris entre ces enveloppes par la simulation stochastique de la répartition des faciès internes. Ces faciès sont définis par leur signature sismique, caractérisée par la configuration du signal réfléchi, sa continuité et son amplitude. Le programme géostatistique HERESIM est utilisé en mode non stationnaire pour analyser puis simuler la variabilité verticale et horizontale des faciès sismiques. Cette variabilité verticale est mesurée pour chaque unité par une courbe de proportion verticale, tandis que la variabilité horizontale est analysée par les variogrammes horizontaux de faciès, qui mesurent la fonction d'autocorrélation d'un faciès donné en fonction de la distance. Les autres paramètres du modèle HERESIM sont calés pour reproduire les données sismiques observées sur les profils. Les résultats des simulations stochastiques sont utilisés pour interpréter les mécanismes de dépôt, d'érosion et de déformation tectonique qui ont construit cet environnement de plate-forme.
