3-D Basin Analysis Of The Cenozoic Wagwater Trough, Jamaica
(2009)
The Wagwater trough in eastern Jamaica is a fault-bounded half graben that formed as a result of regional dextral shear at a releasing bend connecting the Septentiornal-Oriente-Swan-Motagua and Plantain Garden-Swan fault ...
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 ...
Improving fault images using a directional Laplacian of a Gaussian operator
(2016-05)
Fault picking is a critical, but human-intensive component of seismic interpretation. In a bid to improve fault imaging in seismic data, I have applied a directional Laplacian of a Gaussian (dLoG) operator to sharpen fault ...
Rock properties derived from analysis of earth tide strain observed in continuous pressure monitoring of the Arbuckle Group of Oklahoma
(2017)
The Arbuckle Group is an important geologic unit in the state of Oklahoma because of its suitability as a saltwater disposal (SWD) zone. In 2014, the Arbuckle Group received about 68% of the total volumes of saltwater ...
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 ...
ASSESSING MUDROCK CHARACTERISTICS, HIGH-RESOLUTION CHEMOSTRATIGRAPHY, AND SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY OF THE WOODFORD SHALE IN THE MCALISTER CEMETERY QUARRY, ARDMORE BASIN, OKLAHOMA
(2017-12-16)
The Late Devonian – Early Mississippian Woodford Shale is a significant unconventional play in the Midcontinent region. An approximately 365ft thick exposure of the Woodford Shale is present in the McAlister Cemetery Quarry. ...
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. ...
Trilobites From a Cambrian Extinction Interval at the Base of the Steptoean, Riley Formation, Central Texas
(2018)
The Riley Formation of central Texas provides the only record of Steptoean trilobites in the southern mid-continent region. The objective of this thesis is to document the faunal assemblages associated with the globally ...
The Enigmatic Quaternary Shell Bed Deposits of Lake Tanganyika, Tanzania: Linking Anthropogenic Land-Use with Nearshore Sedimentation
(2017-05)
Extensive deposits of carbonate shell-rich sediments in the nearshore environment (< 30 m water depth) of Lake Tanganyika, Africa, form a unique and important habitat for a diversity of endemic crabs, fish, sponges, and ...
MAGNETOSTRATIGRAPHY OF THE PRE-COLORADO RIVER INTEGRATION LOST CABIN BEDS, COTTONWOOD VALLEY, ARIZONA
(2019-05-10)
The Miocene Lost Cabin beds of Cottonwood Valley, Arizona, represent a north-northeasterly fine-grained axial valley basin deposit fed by sediments from the Newberry and Black Mountains to the west and east, respectively. ...
