Determination of Moho depth beneath the Okavango and Kafue rift using Spectral Analysis with Piecewise Regression (SAPR) of satellite gravity data
(2023-05)
The research investigated the use of satellite gravity data to map the lithospheric structure under the Okavango Rift Zone (ORZ) in northwest Botswana and the Kafue Rift Zone (KRZ) in Zambia. The tectonic extent and ...
Use of benthic foraminifera as environmental indicators in Budd Inlet, Puget Sound
(2022-07)
The pollution of coastal and estuarine environments is of growing concern as it potentially threatens ecosystems, economies, and the public health of people living in these areas. Budd Inlet’s circulation is relatively ...
Fluid Histories of Middle Ordovician Fault-Fracture Dolomite Oil Fields of the Southern Michigan Basin
(2019-07)
Fault-fracture oil fields in the Trenton and Black River formations (TBR) constitute important petroleum reservoirs in the southern Michigan Basin and are the type example for “hydrothermal” petroleum reservoirs world-wide. ...
Geological and geomechanical characteristics of prospective CO₂ sinks and seals in the Desoto Canyon Salt Basin, east-central Gulf of Mexico
(2019-05)
Subsurface geologic storage of CO₂ can play a major role in offsetting greenhouse gas emissions, and offshore storage in the DeSoto Canyon Salt Basin in the east-central Gulf of Mexico may be a viable solution due to large ...
Re-evaluation of the SCO2 and SC seismic reflection datasets, eastern South Carolina: Implications for tectonic evolution and seismicity
(2020-05)
Identification and characterization of the Paleozoic Suwanee basin sedimentary sequence and the associated Pangea supercontinent transcurrent fault are critical in furthering our present understanding of tectonic history ...
Hydrological controls on pseudokarst in a permerian sandstone siltstone aquifer
(2021-12)
Pseudokarst formation is a combination of both dissolution and piping processes (collectively referred to as arenization), that both contribute to the removal of subsurface mass along preferential pathways. Much of the ...
Bridging the gap: An ecological and morphological analysis on the california margin expanding spore into the infaunal realm
(2023-05)
Benthic foraminifera have been widely used by paleoceanography to assess changes in ocean conditions over geologic time. The distribution, abundance patterns, and morphological characteristics of modern benthic foraminifera ...
Geologic characterization of cretaceous sandstone at the Kemper County energy facility, Mississippi: A world-class site for CO2 storage
(2020-05)
With anthropogenic CO2 being of growing concern, the Department of Energy's Carbon Storage Assurance Facility Enterprise (CarbonSAFE) program is designed to explore the possibility of saline storage of CO2 at and around ...
Deciphering depositional and diagenetic processes in marine systems by application of trace metal and isotope geochemistry
(2020-07)
While organic-rich shales have been extensively studied as petroleum source rocks, and more recently as unconventional petroleum reservoirs, there is still much that remains unknown about the complex sedimentary and ...
