(2020-04-13)In a world where energy demands are increasing and resources are depleting, gaining better insights into fluid saturation distributions and transport mechanisms within hydrocarbon reservoirs at the pore scale will be ...
-
(2011-08-08)Copano Bay is a shallow (< 2-3 m), microtidal estuary in south central Texas. In an effort to both determine the distribution as well as investigate the controls on the distribution of oyster reefs, a geophysical survey ...
-
(2021-05-04)Gravimetry, the measurement of slight variations in gravitational acceleration, can be used to infer density distributions and structures in the crust of a planetary body. The vast majority of studies on bodies other than ...
-
(2019-02-21)ABSTRACT The Cascadia subduction zone hosts quasi-periodic, large-scale slow slip events which have been shown to be precursors to large, tsunamigenic earthquakes at other active subduction zone margins. Detection of these ...
-
(2020-06-12)The formation and evolution of Mesozoic-age oceanic lithosphere documents the processes leading to the modern distribution of continents and ocean basins starting with the breakup of Pangaea, and plays an important role ...
-
(2011-10-21)Mason, Texas and the surrounding areas have been previously studied and mapped at small scales, showing the large normal faults that cut through the area. Many secondary faults exist close to the large faults, and are not ...
-
(2014-04-24)Costa Rican tropical premontane rainforests are among the world's most valuable ecosystems in terms of diversity of animals, plants, and natural resources. These environments are dependent on water resources which fluctuate ...
-
(2019-07-24)Carbonate rocks are a significant component of future petroleum endeavors, but due to complex pore geometries display a lower average recovery factor in comparison to sandstone reservoirs. To recover residual oil and gas ...
-
(2014-04-25)Dun Mountain is the northern-most ultramafic massif of the Dun Mountain Ophiolite Belt, South Island, New Zealand, and is the type-locale of dunite. The dunites that are preserved at this location provide an opportunity ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)Carboniferous intraplate deformation in the southern midcontinent resulted in the formation of several basement-involved uplifts within the foreland of the Ouachita orogen. Offsets across the northern margin of the Wichita ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)Finding and developing oil and gas resources requires accurate geological information with which to formulate strategies for exploration and exploitation ventures. When data are scarce, statistical procedures are sometimes ...
-
(2015-08-07)The Cambro-Ordovician Hales Limestone in the Hot Creek Range, Nevada records a carbonate slope to toe-of-slope environment. Gigapan™ photomosaics, measured sections, and thin sections of the outcrops help to identify ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)Approximately 720 square miles of digital 3-dimensional seismic data covering the eastern Mississippi Canyon area, Gulf of Mexico, continental shelf was used to examine the structural and stratigraphic evolution of the ...
-
(2014-05-07)This qualitative study examines the experience of twelve Native American youth who participated in culturally appropriate geoscience summer programs throughout California. These programs have been shown to change participating ...
