Abstract: Process-based numerical forward stratigraphic models of different spatiotemporal scales may be nested to address subsurface characterization at different scales. Subsurface representations may be generated using an iterative loop in which subsurface representations are generated using different-scale subsurface models, compared to scale-appropriate data, and used to define boundary conditions/inputs for subsequently run subsurface models. Results from the subsurface models may be compared to one or more standards for quality control and/or for subsurface representation selection. A series of comprehensive subsurface representations may be generated, with the subsurface representations being constrained by different scales of information and physical plausible scenarios.
