High-resolution 3D seismic data analysis was integrated with a calibrated well and biostratigraphy data to present the first overview of a buried Pleistocene canyon system on the upper slope of the eastern Niger Delta, the Galabor Canyon. Attribute maps of specific horizons allow documenting the cha...
