Crustal and Sub-continental Lithospheric Mantle Decoupling Beneath the Malawi Rift
Njinju, Emmanuel Atem (2016-05-01)We analyzed satellite gravity and aeromagnetic data using the two-dimensional (2D) power-density spectrum technique to investigate the lithospheric and thermal structure beneath the magma-starved Malawi Rift, which forms ... -
Evaluation of Geomorphic Proxies from High Resolution Topographic Dems in Oblique Subduction Zones: Western Puerto Rico
Barrios-Galindez, Ines Maria (2018-05-01)We examined geomorphic proxies in oblique subduction zones with very low tectonic uplift rate using western Puerto Rico as case study. The Puerto Rico and the Virgin Island microplate is located at the NE corner of the ... -
Evolution of the Broadly Rifted Zone in Southern Ethiopia Through Gravitational Collapse of Dynamic Topograpy
Emishaw, Luelseged Mengesha (2015-12-01)The Broadly Rifted Zone (BRZ) is a 300 km wide diffused zone of extension in southern Ethiopia that connects the narrow (50-65 km wide) South Main Ethiopian Rift and the Eastern Branch of the East African Rift System (EARS) ... -
Fracture Architecture of the High Plains Aquifer, Northeastern Texas Panhandle:Implications for Geologic Storage of Carbon Dioxide
Meng, Jingyao (2015-12-01)Surface and airborne gas monitoring programs are becoming an important part of environmental protection in areas favorable for subsurface storage of carbon dioxide. Understanding structural architecture and its effects on ... -
Influence of Inherited Structures on Segmentation and Linkages of Two Subparallel Faults in Southern Malawi Rift
Johnson, Steven (2018-05-01)Important questions remain about the role preexisting structures play on the development of magma poor rifts. The influence of preexisting pervasive upper crustal fabrics on the development and evolution of faults is poorly ... -
Integrated stratigraphic, structural, tectonic, and petroleum systems analysis of the Mississippian Caney Shale, Ardmore Basin, southern Oklahoma
Cox, Ian Anthony Allan (2021-12)Burial and thermal history modeling were used to assess the thermal maturity of the Mississippian (Chesterian) Caney Shale in the Ardmore Basin, southern Oklahoma, to determine the formation's viability as an unconventional ... -
Lithospheric Controls on the Rifting of the Tanzanian Craton at the Eyasi Rift, Eastern Branch of the East African Rift System
Fletcher, Andrew (2017-12-01)Continental rifts most often nucleate within the thinner and weaker lithosphere of orogenic belts at the margins of cratons, rather than within cratons themselves. However, some studies in the East African Rift System ... -
Lithospheric Structure Beneath the Mesozoic (~140 - ~110 MA) Chilwa Alkaline Province (Cap) in Southern Malawi and Northeastern Mozambique
Nyalugwe, Victor (2018-05-01)This work investigates the lithospheric structure beneath the Mesozoic (~140 - ~110 Ma) Chilwa Alkaline Province (CAP) in southern Malawi and northeastern Mozambique using aeromagnetic and satellite gravity data (the World ... -
Magmatic Under-plating Beneath the Luangwa Rift Valley, Zambia?
Matende, Kitso Nkooko (2015-05-01)We used aeromagnetic data, and satellite and terrestrial gravity data to examine the thermal and crustal structure beneath the Karoo-aged Luangwa Rift Valley (LRV) in Zambia in order to determine the geodynamic controls ... -
Magnetotelluric Investigation of the Causative Fault of the 2016 Mw 5.8 Pawnee, Oklahoma Earthquake
Beckendorff, David James (2018-05-01)On September 1, 2016 a Mw 5.8 earthquake struck the Pawnee area of north central Oklahoma. The rupture occurred in a region of complex fault interactions at 4 -6 km depth, along a previously unmapped fault called the Sooner ... -
Mw 6.0 Karonga, Malawi Earthquake Occurred on Cenozoic Faults That Reactivated Precambrian Shear Zone: Evidence from Aeromagnetic and Electrical Resistivity Imaging
Kolawole, Folarin (2017-07-01)The 2009 Karonga, Malawi earthquake caused a surface rupture length of 14-18 km along a single W-dipping fault on the hanging wall of the North Basin of the Malawi Rift. This part of the rift is underlain by the NW-trending ... -
Physical, Chemical and Isotopic Characteristics of Groundwater and Surface Water in the Lake Chilwa Basin, Malawi
Missi, Charles (2018-05-01)We measured the physical, chemical and isotopic properties of groundwater, streams and Lake Chilwa in the Lake Chilwa Basin in southern Malawi. Our goal was to assess water quality and identify the hydrogeochemical processes ... -
Shear-Wave Reflection Imaging of Glacial-Deposit Aquifers in Northern Illinois
Fetkovich, Evin James (2018-05-01)Geologically-complex glacial sediment present challenges in mapping shallow aquifers with the conventionally-used electrical and electromagnetic geophysical methods. Horizontally-polarized seismic shear (SH)-wave reflection ...
