Dr Christophe Serié holds a position as Associate Professor II (20 %) at Department of Geosciences, University of Oslo.
Serié is a geoscientist with global experience based on several joint academic-industry research projects and current leading role in regional exploration with Vår Energi and the University of Oslo.
Academic interests
Academic interests include source-to-sink, fluid flow studies, and predictive seismic stratigraphy.
Integration of seismic, seabed geochemistry and satellite data represent a robust method to document and interpret fluid flow phenomena along continental margins and highlights the importance of integrated fluid flow studies with regard to energy transition, submarine geohazards, marine ecosystems, and climate change. Detailed integration and iterative interpretation seep-related seafloor features including pockmarks, mud or asphalt volcanoes, gas hydrate pingoes, as well as shallow subsurface features such as paleo-pockmarks, direct hydrocarbon indicators (DHIs), pipes and bottom-simulating reflections (BSRs).
Integration of regional understanding, three-dimensional seismic reflection data, exploration wells, and whole core have allowed the interpretation of large sand injectites associated with a deep-water depositional system in the Austral-Magallanes Basin.
