Paleozoic structural evolution of the Wichita uplift, southwest Oklahoma
(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 ...
Hillslope Hydrological Processes in a Costa Rican Rainforest: Water Supply Partitioning Using Isotope Tracers
(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 ...
Structural and stratigraphic evolution of the central Mississippi Canyon Area: interaction of salt tectonics and slope processes in the formation of engineering and geologic hazards
(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 ...
Overprinting Deformations in Mantle Rocks, Dun Mountain, New Zealand
(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 ...
Transforming Native American Youths' Concepts of Geoscience Through a Connection to Culture, Nature and Community
(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 ...
Quantification of uncertainty in reservoir simulations influenced by varying input geological parameters, Maria Reservoir, CaHu Field
(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 ...
A Stratigraphic Framework for Late Cambrian-Early Ordovician Carbonate Slope to Basinal Sediments in Tybo Canyon, Hot Creek Range, Nevada
(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 ...
Antecedent Geologic Controls on the Distribution of Oyster Reefs in Copano Bay, Texas
(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 ...
Influence of Pore Types on the Petrophysical Properties of Carbonate Rocks and Seismic Monitoring of CO2 in Carbonates
(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 ...
Geology of the McMillan Ranch in Mason, Texas: An Assessment of the Nature of Normal Faults in the Mason Area
(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 ...
