Future Work

This study will also investigate the utility of GPR (ground-penetrating radar) in imaging of channel forms and internal geometries of Merriam Strata. Outcrop and GPR data could aid in developing 3D models of these channels in transgressive limestones, which could be potential reservoirs in the subsurface (see diagrams below).

Potential reservoir model for Merriam channels R= reservoir facies; NR= non-reservoir facies
