Modelling and upscaling of shallow compaction in basins

Heterogeneous fine-grained sediments at shallow burial (< 1000m) below the seafloor can often experience large strain of mechanical compaction and variable degrees of overpressure in their pore space as a result of disequilibrium dissipation of pore fluid. Shallow overpressure can pose significan...
