EVALUATING DESERT SILT PRODUCTION USING FIELD, EXPERIMENTAL, AND REMOTE-SENSING METHODS
(2018-05)
Production of the silt that forms loess deposits has been attributed to processes operating in both glacial environments (via glacial grinding) and warm deserts (via saltation-induced fracturing). However, the efficacy of ...
AN ICEHOUSE DUST RECORD FROM THE UPPER PALEOZOIC (ASSELIAN-ARTINSKIAN, MOSCOVIAN) AKIYOSHI LIMESTONE (JAPAN)
(2016)
The Akiyoshi terrane in southwest Japan consists of a subduction-generated accretionary complex of shallow-marine limestone and deep-water spicular chert, underlain by ocean island-type basalt, all of which was obducted ...
An Integrated LiDAR-XRF Study and Geomechanical Lithofacies Analysis of the Leonardian Upper Bone Spring Formation, Bone Canyon, Texas
(2019-05)
The purpose of this study is to constrain geomechanical parameters effecting hydraulic stimulation networks within the upper Bone Spring formation, through the collection and examination of outcrop data. Data utilized in ...
Catastrophic Process Event Stratigraphy of the Rader Member in the Delaware Basin
(2018-12-14)
The Bell Canyon Formation, Middle Rader Member, debrite crops out in Guadalupe Mountains (along Highway 62, McKittrick Canyon and vicinity) revealing a Late Guadalupian catastrophic submarine debris slide. The formation ...
Seismic Stratigraphy of a Circular Concave-Downward Structure, Chukchi Sea
(2017-12-15)
A circular concave-downward structure (CCDS) and its structural features and seismic facies can be observed in several 2D seismic lines imaging the Chukchi Sea planning area. The area in question is largely underexplored ...
STRATIGRAPHIC AND TEXTURAL ANALYSIS OF NANODIAMONDS ACROSS THE YOUNGER DRYAS BOUNDARY SEDIMENTS OF WESTERN OKLAHOMA
(2016)
Exposed sediment profiles of the panhandle of western Oklahoma have
previously been shown to contain two peak abundances of nanodiamonds, one dated
approximately to the Younger Dryas and the other from the Late Holocene. ...
Experimental Modeling of Geometry and Evolution of Structures above Ductile and Frictional Detachments
(2016-05-13)
Fold-thrust belts formed above ductile units like salt are typically characterized by detachment folds, whereas those formed above frictional detachments contain fault-related folds, such as fault-bend folds and duplexes. ...
3-D GEOMETRY AND KINEMATIC EVOLUTION OF THE KUPE INVERSION STRUCTURE, SOUTHERN TARANAKI BASIN, NEW ZEALAND
(2017-12)
The Southern Taranaki Basin underwent extension during the Late Cretaceous to Eocene, followed by a compression during the Oligocene to the Late Miocene, resulting in inversion of some of the pre-existing normal faults. ...
Regional stratigraphy and organic richness of the Mississippian Meramec and associated strata, Anadarko Basin, central Oklahoma
(2018-05)
The Mississippian Meramec Series and laterally equivalent units of the Caney and Sycamore formations of central and south-central Oklahoma generally consist of a succession of interbedded quartz-rich calcareous siltstones, ...
ATMOSPHERIC DUST FROM THE UPPER CARBONIFEROUS COPACABANA FORMATION (BOLIVIA): A HIGH-RESOLUTION RECORD OF CLIMATE AND VOLCANISM FROM NORTHWESTERN GONDWANA
(2016-08-19)
This study documents the occurrence of atmospheric dust from Pennsylvanian carbonates of the Copacabana Formation, recovered in core (Mobil-Oxy Manuripi X-1) from the Madre de Dios basin (Bolivia), within southern mid-latitudes ...
