GIS for Depositional Synthesis, Analysis, and Exploration in the Gulf of Mexico

The Gulf Basin Depositional Synthesis (GBDS) Project is a joint industry-sponsored research program which provides a complete and comprehensive picture of basin-scale sedimentation as a tool for exploration efforts in the Gulf of Mexico. The project contributes new information to the understanding of the geologic history of the Gulf of Mexico basin. The database has integrated well data from the onshore, shelf, and upper slope areas with seismic data from the deep Gulf of Mexico basin. Data interpretations were also made by scientists at The University of Texas Institute for Geophysics (UTIG). The database is implemented as a geographic information systems (GIS) database, and includes custom tools for data visualization and analysis.
