Hardin, Nancy S. (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)Numerous physical and mathematical models have simulated highly mature diapirism in which low density material moves upward through more dense material and then spreads out as a layer known as a canopy (Jackson and Talbot, ...
-
Wainright, Elizabeth Jan (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)Using radar altimeter data from the GEOS-3 satellite, a characteristic geoid anomaly has been identified which occurs over all major deep-sea trenches. As one approaches the trench from the seaward side, the altimeter geoid ...
-
Bennett, Richard Harold (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)This research was a detailed study of the clay fabrics and selected geotechnical properties of cored submarine sediment sampled to depths of 150 m from the Mississippi Prodelta depositional environment. The clay fabric ...
-
Cavanaugh, Martin Jame (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)Detection of geologic discontinuities ahead of the mining process has been attempted by both electromagnetic and acoustic methods. Rock salt is an ideal medium for the propagation of electromagnetic waves. However, in cases ...
-
Warsi, Waris Ejaz Khan (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)This study has examined the tectonics of convergence along the Peru Trench with the specific objective to gain insight into the sediment subduction process. Analysis of GLORIA (Geological Long Range Inclined Asdic) long-range ...
-
Byun, Bok Sub (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1975)The corrective gradient projection (CGP) method is described for the problem of optimizing a non-linear function (called the objective function) of multiple parameters subject to a system of linear constraint equations. ...
-
Hitt, George Glyn (Texas A&M University. Libraries, [1968])This was a developmental study to produce a teachers' manual that could be used in a unit of study in powder metallurgy. In order for the manual content to reflect the current thinking of people knowledgeable in powder ...
-
Klunk, David Griffith (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1968)In studying the structure of matter, X-ray diffraction techniques are limited by a phenomenon known as the "Phase Problem". Previous contributions to the direct solution of crystal structures have made use of statistical ...
-
Baldwin, John Thomas (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1967)In this dissertation, the characteristics of the backflow cell model for flow systems of various holdup and mixing distributions were obtained. These include steady state and transient responses for reactor systems in which ...
-
Samstag, Frank Joseph (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)The effective-medium theory for complex conductivity is known to be a useful model for describing the conductive and dielectric properties of heterogeneous media. The validity of the theory for shaly sandstones is explored ...
-
Atwell, Buddy Houston (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1967)The objective of this study was to investigate the problems associated with determining the velocity of propagation of the direct compressional and shear wave in thin layers of highway building materials using a portable ...
-
Corry, Charles Elmo (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)I have reexamined the treatise by Gilbert (1877) on laccoliths, using an interplay between current geophysical methods of investigating geologic structures, and presently available finite element methods of modeling ...
-
Durham, Donald Lee (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1972)A bottom-anchored, taut-wire mooring system, employing Richardson-type current meters, was used to obtain for 12.5 days from 6 June to 19 June 1969 direct current measurements at two depth-levels (72 m and 392 m) in the ...
-
Becker, David Francis (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)Seismic reflection data were collected in 1981 at the In-Situ Lignite-Gasification site located near Rockdale, Texas managed by the Petroleum Engineering Department at Texas A&M University. The three zero-offset-VSP data ...
-
Jung, Woo-Yeol (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)A free-air gravity anomaly map of the North Atlantic Ocean has been constructed at a 10 mgal contour interval utilizing all available surface ship and pendulum gravity measurements. The map shows values more positive to ...
-
Bandy, William Lee (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)An analysis of the geological and geophysical character of the Rivera-Cocos plate boundary indicates that it consists of three distinct morphotectonic zones. The easternmost zone, delineated by the El Gordo Graben, is a ...
-
Hajash, Andrew (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1975)An experimental investigation of high-temperature seawater/basalt interactions has been conducted in order to better evaluate the geochemical and economic implications of hydrothermal circulation of seawater in the oceanic ...
-
Knowles, Charles Ernest (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1970)The problem investigated in this paper is that of estimating the deep water signature of a tsunami based on an observed marigram in the immediate vicinity of an island. The basic assumption is made that the incident tsunami ...
-
Benson, Robert Henry (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)An investigation of scintillations in ground-level cosmic ray muons has been conducted using a muon telescope constructed at Texas A&M University. The power density spectrum of the muon counting rate was calculated and the ...
