Η παρούσα εργασία αποτελεί μια μελέτη που πραγματοποιήθηκε στο πεδίο κρατήρων διαφυγής αερίων στην περιοχή Αιγίου στον Δυτικό Κορινθιακό Κόλπο. Για την μελέτη συλλέχθηκαν δεδομένα από ηχοβολιστικά συστήματα και συγκεκριμένα από τομογράφο υποδομής πυθμένα. Τα δεδομένα επεξεργάστηκαν για να μετατραπούν σε ψηφιακή μορφή έτσι ώστε, στη συνέχεια, να χρησιμοποιηθούν στα γεωφυσικά συστήματα επεξεργασίας δεδομένων, να γίνει η ψηφιοποίηση χαρτών και τομογραφιών. Ο σκοπός της εργασίας ήταν η δημιουργία αποτελεσμάτων σχετικά με τις αιτίες που προκαλούν τη διαφυγή αερίων και γλυκού νερού, δημιουργια βυθομετρικού χάρτη της περιοχής στον οποίο θα εμφανίζονται οι θέσεις των κρατήρων. Στην παρούσα εργασία περιλαμβάνεται η γεωλογία της περιοχής καθώς και τα βήματα που πραγματοποιήθηκαν για την διεξαγωγή των αποτελεσμάτων. / --

The former Viking settlement Birka is located on Björkö Island in Lake Mälaren, the third largest lake in Sweden. Birka is a well-known archeological site that onshore has been carefully examined. The lake floor of the waters surrounding the island has been less investigated but has a great potential to host not yet discovered archeological objects from this former hub for seafarers. Therefore, a geophysical survey including multibeam sonar mapping and subbottom profiling was carried out mainly along the shores of western Björkö Island. Processing and analysis of these collected data form the basis of this thesis. The main aims of this study are to produce a suite of geological maps and stratigraphic profiles that are used to geologically interpret the uppermost sediment stratigraphy and the bathymetry of the area. In addition, the processed data are investigated for archeological objects. The result shows that the acoustic records of the sediment stratigraphy reaches back to glacial clay formed as a consequence of the retreat of the Late Weichselian ice sheet, and that the uppermost sediment units probably are from the time after the isolation of Lake Mälaren from the Baltic Sea. The bathymetry and backscatter results have revealed that this relatively shallow study area contains several objects that potentially could be of interest from an archeological point of view. These objects include several unidentified objects in the Björkö strait and two unregistered shipwrecks where ground truthing data need to be collected to determine their respective origin.

Despite the high level of exploration activity of oil industry, there is few information about shallow stratigraphy. Aiming to fill this gap, situated on the Neogene, was worked a marine seismic investigation, the development of a processing flow for high resolution data seismic, and the recognition of the main feature morphology of the study area: the incised valley of the River A?u. The acquisition of shallow seismic data was undertaken in conjunction with the laboratory of Marine Geology/Geophysics and Environmental Monitoring - GGEMMA of Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte UFRN, in SISPLAT project, where the geomorphological structure of the Rio paleovale A?u was the target of the investigation survey. The acquisition of geophysical data has been over the longitudinal and transverse sections, which were subsequently submitted to the processing, hitherto little-used and / or few addressed in the literature, which provided a much higher quality result with the raw data. Once proposed for the flow data was developed and applied to the data of X-Star (acoustic sensor), using available resources of the program ReflexW 4.5 A surface fluvial architecture has been constructed from the bathymetric data and remote sensing image fused and draped over Digital Elevation Models to create three-dimensional (3D) perspective views that are used to analyze the 3D geometry geological features and provide the mapping morphologically defined. The results are expressed in the analysis of seismic sections that extend over the region of the continental shelf and upper slope from mouth of the A?u River to the shelf edge, providing the identification / quantification of geometrical features such as depth, thickness, horizons and units seismic stratigraphyc area, with emphasis has been placed on the palaeoenvironmental interpretation of discordance limit and fill sediment of the incised valley, control by structural elements, and marked by the influence of changes in the sea level. The interpretation of the evolution of this river is worth can bring information to enable more precise descriptions and interpretations, which describes the palaeoenvironmental controls influencing incised valley evolution and preservation to provide a better comprehensive understanding of this reservoir analog system / Sobre a Plataforma Continental a norte do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte (NE do Brasil) est? localizado um paleovale submerso durante o ?ltimo glacial, que marca a continua??o do rio mais importante desta ?rea: o Rio A?u. Apesar do elevado n?vel de atividades de explora??o da ind?stria petrol?fera nessa regi?o, existe pouca informa??o sobre sua estratigrafia rasa. Visando suprir esta lacuna, situada acima do Ne?geno, realizou-se o levantamento s?smico de alta resolu??o com o perfilador de subfundo X-Star (chirp), o desenvolvimento de um fluxo de processamento para os dados levantados, e o reconhecimento da paelogeomorfologia da principal fei??o da ?rea de estudo: o vale inciso do Rio A?u. A aquisi??o dos dados s?smicos de alta resolu??o foi realizada em conjunto com o laborat?rio de Geologia e Geof?sica Marinha e Monitoramento Ambiental GGEMMA, da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte UFRN, atendendo ao projeto SISPLAT, onde a estrutura geomorfol?gica do paleovale do Rio A?u foi o alvo das investiga??es do levantamento. A aquisi??o dos dados geof?sicos deu-se ao longo de se??es longitudinais e transversais, que posteriormente foram submetidos ao processamento, at? ent?o pouco utilizado e/ou pouco abordado na literatura, o qual forneceu um resultado com qualidade muito superior ao dado bruto. Assim o fluxo proposto para dados foi desenvolvido e aplicado aos dados de X-Star (sensor ac?stico) utilizando os recursos dispon?veis do programa ReflexW 4.5. A arquitetura da superf?cie fluvial foi reproduzida a partir da integra??o de dados batim?tricos (pr?-existentes) e imagens LandSat 7, gerando um Modelo Digital do Terreno para visualiza??o tridimensional (3D), o qual foi utilizado para se fazer an?lises geom?tricas e correlacion?-las com a morfologia em subsuperf?cie. Os resultados s?o expressos na an?lise das se??es s?smicas que se estendem sobre a regi?o do Vale Inciso do Rio A?u em toda a plataforma continental, fornecendo a identifica??o/quantifica??o de aspectos geom?tricos como profundidade, espessura, superf?cies lim?trofes e unidades sismoestratigr?ficas, que descrevem uma palaeomorfologia controlada por elementos estruturais e marcada pela influ?ncia da varia??o do n?vel do mar e do regime fluvial do antigo Rio A?u. A interpreta??o da evolu??o desse vale inciso traz informa??es que permitam descri??es e interpreta??es mais precisas e forne?am subs?dios para a compreens?o de an?logos de reservat?rios.
