Hot Rocks Under Our Feet; Seismic Imaging of Igneous Geology in Sedimentary Basins
- đ¤ Speaker: Prof. Christopher Jackson, Imperial đ Website

Abstract
Volcanoes are hot, loud and scary, thus we know little of their internal structure, or that of their underlying, dyke- and sill-dominated ‘plumbing systems’. Magma intrusion in the Earth’s crust and the extrusion of this material on its surface represent a natural hazard; however, these processes can also result in the formation of economic quantities of hydrocarbons. In this talk I will show how 3D seismic reflection data can illuminate the structure and emplacement mechanics of these ‘hot rocks’. I will also demonstrate the key role igneous processes and products play in the development of petroleum systems on continental margins.
