Stratigraphic architecture of carbonate platforms during the Early Paleogene

本研究的目的是回答什么是碳酸盐岩台地的形状和地层结构的问题，在古近纪温室的最温暖的情节的关键时间间隔？这一目标将通过调查位于近海印度河盆地的异常发达的古新世-始新世碳酸盐台地的演化和沉积几何形状来实现。据我们所知，这些平台是独一无二的，因为它们是整体成像的，因此显示了大规模的平台架构。我们将通过开展以下工作来实现这一目标：根据新获得的区域地震资料，对已建立的古近系碳酸盐岩层序地层格架进行修订;描述了浅水碳酸盐岩层序的地震结构和沉积几何学特征，建立了层序地层格架，分析了控制古近系碳酸盐岩系统发育的区域和全球机制，并与印度-太平洋其他碳酸盐岩台地进行了对比。

The objective of this study is to answer the question of what is the shape and stratigraphic architecture of carbonate platforms during the crucial time interval of the warmest episode of the Paleogene greenhouse? This goal will be achieved by investigating the evolution and depositional geometries of the exceptionally well-developed Paleocene-Eocene carbonate platforms located in the Offshore Indus Basin. As per our knowledge, these platforms are unique as being imaged in their entirety, thus showing the large-scale platform architecture. We will achieve this objective by performing the following work: A revision of the established stratigraphic framework for the Paleogene carbonate succession on newly available regional seismic data; A characterization of the seismic architecture and depositional geometries, and establishment of a sequence stratigraphic framework for the shallow water carbonate sequences, and as well as an analysis of the regional and global mechanisms controlling the development of the Paleogene carbonate systems and their comparison with other Indo-pacific carbonate platforms.
