“…The seismic stratigraphy is based on previous studies by LykkeAndersen and Surlyk (2004) on the line DA00-28, Hübscher et al (2010) and additional well data of Margretheholm-1 in the vicinity of the seismic lines, which was used for lithostratigraphic interpretation. However, there is no seismic line crossing a borehole position and allowing for a direct tie between borehole data and the considered marine lines.…”

“…The Triassic and Jurassic reflection horizons Late Triassic Unconformity (LTU), Base Jurassic (BJ) and Base Cretaceous Unconformity (BCU) were transferred from the study of Hübscher et al (2010). Further, borehole data from Margretheholm-1 of GEUS in the Øresund area show the presence of Lower to Upper Triassic sediments of ca.…”

“…In contrast to the salt pillows which emerged above Triassic fault systems in the Bay of Kiel, the Cenozoic salt movement activity is most pronounced in the Bay of Mecklenburg (Hübscher et al, 2010). Similar study focusing on the pre-Alpine evolution have been carried out in the Bay of Mecklenburg by Zöllner et al (2008), based on a very dense reflection seismic profile grid.…”

“…The analysis of the time-isochore maps of post-Permian strata in the Bays of Kiel and Mecklenburg suggested a causative correlation between tectonic evolution of the North German Basin and halokinetics (Hansen et al, 2005;Hübscher et al, 2010). In contrast to the salt pillows which emerged above Triassic fault systems in the Bay of Kiel, the Cenozoic salt movement activity is most pronounced in the Bay of Mecklenburg (Hübscher et al, 2010).…”

A comprehensive model of seismic velocities for the Bay of Mecklenburg (Baltic Sea) at the North German Basin margin: implications for basin development

The geometry of sedimentary basins is normally described by the interpretation of seismic reflectors. In addition to that, rock properties of the sedimentary successions between these reflectors give further insight into the subsurface geology. Here, we present a model for the Bay of Mecklenburg, situated at the northeastern margin of the North German Basin. The model consists of eight layers; it covers seismic velocities of sediments from the Neogene down to the base of the Permian Zechstein. We use eight seismic profiles for model building and apply seismic migration velocity analysis in combination with pre-stack depth migration. The results are interval velocities down to a depth of 5000 m. A further aim of the study is to investigate the sensitivity of these indirectly deduced velocities in comparison to direct measurements within drill holes. The velocities from this study are in good agreement with earlier results from vertical seismic profiling at a nearby well. Cenozoic and Mesozoic strata within the Bay of Mecklenburg show clear depth-dependent velocity trends. A comparison of these trends with predicted compaction trends shows that burial anomalies within Lower Triassic units are significantly higher than in Upper Cretaceous units. This finding could be explained by a greater amount of erosion during Upper Jurassic/Lower Cretaceous times than during Cenozoic times. The Zechstein layer shows a decreasing interval velocity with increasing thickness. Our study demonstrates that seismic velocities deduced from surface-based measurements are of high value in areas with sparse drilling coverage.
