Long-term atmospheric circulation variability in the tropics linked to climate changes in the Amazon and Congo
Presently, there has not been an attempt to holistically understand regional manifestations of tropical atmospheric circulation systems or how long-term changes in these systems have influenced the climate in the Amazon ... -
Syndepositional deformation in steep-walled carbonate margins : insights from outcrop and numerical modeling of carbonate platforms in the recent and ancient rock record
Syndepositional deformation is common in steep-walled carbonate platforms and is typically manifested as large, open-mode fractures and normal faults. Despite the recognition of syndepositional features and their importance ... -
Water supply issues in the Valle de Mexico : user side perceptions
(2018-06-19)Mexico’s center territory, Valle de Mexico, is the most populated and developed area in the country. Although it is also the wealthiest area of the country, its unreasonable size gives rise to issues that require prompt ... -
CO₂ storage in deltaic environments of deposition : integration of 3-dimensional modeling, outcrop analysis, and subsurface application
Carbon sequestration in geologic reservoirs is a proven method for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Deltaic deposits are attractive candidates for CO₂ storage projects due to their prominent role as hydrocarbon reservoirs. ... -
Evolution of functional morphology of osteoderms across Crocodylomorpha
The vertebrate integument is a complex anatomical system that has evolved a wide array of specialized structures that are related to an animal’s ecology and evolutionary history, including mineralized structures found in ... -
Time-lapse seismic AVAz in the Stocker Field
(2018-05-03)Organic rich Murdock reservoirs require hydraulic stimulation to be economically productive. Zones of high fracture density are desired due to the increase in permeability they would have. Thus, fracture characterization ... -
3D textural and geochemical analyses on carbonado diamond : insights from pores and the minerals within them
(2018-05-04)Carbonado is an enigmatic variety of polycrystalline diamond found only in placer deposits in Brazil and the Central African Republic, with unknown primary origin. These highly porous dark nodules possess a narrow range ... -
Phase behavior and the interaction of multiple gas molecules in hydrate-dominated geological flow processes
(2018-06-14)Hydrate is a non-stoichiometric, ice-like solid compound of water and gas molecules that forms at low temperatures and high pressures. The stability of a particular hydrate is affected by the molecular composition of the ... -
Macroscale modeling linking energy and economics : tests of investment choices
Natural resources, especially energy, play a significant role in human society, from economics to politics. A number of models has been built in the past to study the relationship between natural resources and macroeconomics. ... -
Determining the source of nitrate in groundwater by nitrogen isotope studies
(1974)Nitrogen isotope ratios of ammonium and nitrate ions from soil and water samples can be analyzed reproducibly with an experimental error of approximately ±1⁰/₀₀. Two isotopic ranges of soil nitrate are found in the soils ... -

The Edwards Limestone in the Balcones fault zone, south-central Texas
(1973)The Edwards Limestone (Albian) is a mosaic of shallow water, back-reef, carbonate lithofacies averaging about 450 feet thick, that have been dolomitized, chertified and dedolomitized. Intermittent subaerial exposure during ... -
Mobile sediments in a karst aquifer
(1997)In karst aquifers, mobile sediments may play a fundamental role in determining water quality by concentrating and transporting contaminants. This study investigates spatial characteristics of sediment in a karst aquifer, ... -
Nitrate contamination of groundwater in southern Runnels County, Texas
(1972)Nitrate concentrations in the groundwater in southern Runnels County, Texas, ranged from less than 0.5 mg/l to 3,580 mg/l. Only ten percent of the water samples analyzed contained less than the U. S. Public Health Service ... -
Eberhard Pritzer Guest Lecture

The Glen Rose section in the Canyon Reservoir area, Comal County, Texas
(1966)The area lies in the western edge of the Balcones fault system near the eastern margin of the Edwards Plateau. "En echelon," down-to-the-coast faults repeat the section which is well exposed in the rejuvenated, youthful ...
