Azimuthal analysis of hybrid gathers
(2009-05)
The cross-spread formed by intersecting source and receiver lines, or “hybrid gather” consisting of all common mid-points (CMPs) in a reflection patch defined by the acquisition geometry, has been revived in recent years ...
Coral-based climate reconstructions from a massive Porites coral from Sabine Bank (Vanuatu)
(2009-08)
A monthly resolved, 133 year record of coral Sr/Ca variations has been developed from a massive Porites coral that was drilled in the shallow waters of a submerged carbonate platform (Sabine Bank, 15.9°S, 166.14°E) located ...
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. ...

Investigating the effect of high-angle normal faulting on unroofing histories of the Santa Catalina-Rincon and Harcuvar metamorphic core complexes, using apatite fission-track and apatite and zircon (U-Th)/He thermochronometry
(2013-12)
The formation and evolution of metamorphic core complexes has been widely studied using low temperature thermochronometry methods. Interpretation of these data has historically occurred through the lens of the traditional ...
Feasibility of isotropic inversion in orthorhombic media : the Barrett unconventional model
(2016-05)
Geophysicists often relegate shale reservoirs as having higher symmetries (e.g., transversely isotropic (TI) or isotropic) than what reality demonstrates. Routine application of TI (or even isotropic) algorithms to ...
Anatomy, dimensions, and significance of the penultimate Yates tepee-shelf crest complex, G25 Hairpin HFS, Guadalupe Mountains, New Mexico and Texas
(2016-05)
The steep-rimmed Permian Capitan platform in the Guadalupe Mountains has been studied in extensive detail to understand the effect of eustacy on platform architecture as seen in continuously exposed 700 m relief shelf-to-basin ...
Characterization of the Cana-Woodford Shale using fractal-based, stochastic inversion, Canadian County, Oklahoma
(2016-05)
The past decade has seen a surge in unconventional hydrocarbon exploration and production, driven by advances in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing. Even with such advances, reliable models of the subsurface are ...
The combined effects of river-flood and tidal processes on the stratigraphy, ichnology, and stratal architecture of the Cretaceous (Campanian) Loyd Delta near Rangely, Colorado U.S.A.
(2016-05)
The Campanian Loyd Sandstone (Loyd) has been identified in outcrops in the Piceance Basin within strata above the Castlegate Sandstone near Rangely, CO. The Loyd preserves sedimentary structures, facies, sandbody/shale ...
Evaluating stable isotope proxies (δ¹³C, δ¹⁸O, and δ¹⁵N) for detecting photosymbiosis in fossil corals
(2016-05)
Photosymbiosis is a mutually beneficial relationship that many scleractinian corals have developed with dinoflagellates called zooxanthellae. Photosymbiosis is often considered the evolutionary innovation that allowed ...
