Surface water transport and distribution of uranium in contaminated sediments near a nuclear weapons processing facility
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The extent of remobilization of uranium from contaminated soils adjacent to a nuclear weapons processing facility during episodic rain events was investigated. In addition, information on the solid phase associations of U ...
Finite - difference modeling of the Yucca Mountain, Nevada Area: a study of the regional water table gradients based on hydraulic conductivity contrasts
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The Nevada Yucca Mountain site is being investigated to determine if it is a suitable site for the construction of a high-level nuclear waste repository. A feature of concern north of the selected site is an abrupt rise ...
Earth fissures of the Red Light Bolson, Hudspeth County, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The Red Light Bolson lies in Trans-Pecos Texas. Two sets of earth fissures of differing age are present in the fine-grained alluvium which fills the bolson. These fissures are characterized by a continuous to discontinuous ...
Pressure solution and microfracturing in primary oil migration, upper cretaceous Austin Chalk, Texas Gulf Coast
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The Upper Cretaceous Austin Chalk is a well known source rock and fractured reservoir. Production is mainly from fractures, and the mechanism by which oil migrates from the matrix into the fractures is not well understood. ...
Age-dating implications from the morphologic, petrologic, and isotopic investigations of a calcic soil, Terrell County, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
A fine grained calcic soil has developed upon Pliocene-Miocene alluvial gravels derived from Cretaceous limestone of the Stockton Plateau and Paleozoic limestone, chert, and novaculite from the Marathon uplift. This soil ...
A two-dimensional finite difference model of the effects of erosion on the evolution of pore pressure within a moving thrust sheet
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
There is indirect for the existence of abnormal pore pressures in continental thrust belts. Workers have also shown through modeling studies that abnormal pore pressures are to be expected in tectonic wedges which have the ...
Faults as potential hydrocarbon barriers, Arroyo Grande, California
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Faulting in a sandstone introduces properties which are different from the country rock. Previous work has shown that these new properties can significantly impede the flow of hydrocarbons through the country rock. This ...
Sediment diagenesis, fossil preservation, and depositional environment in the Stone City/Lower Cook Mountain transgression (Middle Eocene, southeast Texas): a test of chemical taphofacies in the rock record
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The recognition of taphonomic loss in the fossil record is important because it provides information about the depositional environment, sediment geochemistry, and post-depositional bias present in the fossil assemblage. ...
