The STRATAGEM project: stratigraphic development of the glaciated European margin

The EC-funded STRATAGEM project ran from 2000 to 2003 and was a study of the Neogene evolution of the glaciated northeast Atlantic margin from Lofoten to Porcupine, an area extending over nearly 20 degrees of latitude. An extensive seismic, borehole and sample database has been used, much of it supp...

Description
Summary:The EC-funded STRATAGEM project ran from 2000 to 2003 and was a study of the Neogene evolution of the glaciated northeast Atlantic margin from Lofoten to Porcupine, an area extending over nearly 20 degrees of latitude. An extensive seismic, borehole and sample database has been used, much of it supplied by the oil industry. The main products of STRATAGEM have been an integrated, unified stratigraphic framework in the form of an atlas documenting and illustrating the detailed stratigraphy of the entire margin, and a detailed evolution model for this margin. A brief summary of the background to, and organisation of, the project is presented, together with an outline of the main objectives, the physiographic setting of the area and the database.
