RI06 — Depositional Environment Stratigraphic Simulator

Preset Scenario

Select scenario

Glacial Sub-Environments

Select which sub-environments are active. Affects lateral and vertical facies variation.

Subglacial (till under ice) Proglacial (outwash) Periglacial (loess, frost) Glaciomarine (IRD) Glaciolacustrine (varves) Interglacial Soil Formation

Permafrost Overprint (frozen ground) Tephra Marker Beds (volcanic ash) Dansgaard-Oeschger Oscillations

Climate Drivers

These sliders modulate facies probability within each phase — colder shifts toward glacial facies, wetter toward fluvial/lacustrine.

Basin Geometry

Basin shape drives lateral facies variation. Center is deeper than margins.

Basin asymmetry: 0.5 Max water depth (m): 50 Basin width (km): 10

⬤ Borehole Log

No boreholes drilled.

After starting the simulation, click anywhere on the cross-section to place a virtual borehole and extract a stratigraphic log.

Drilling at different lateral positions will produce different facies — proximal vs distal, channel vs overbank, basin center vs margin.
