Subglacial West Antarctic volcanoes defined by aerogeophysical data and the potential for associated hydrothermal systems
(2008)
Subglacial hydrothermal systems beneath the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) are important objects of research because meltwater associated with them can act as a lubricant beneath this potentially unstable ice sheet. In ...
Defining the northeastern boundary of the supergiant Maracaibo foreland basin, Venezuela
(2008)
Differences in styles of structure and sedimentation and the distribution of hydrocarbons across the 140-km-long and 1-km-wide Burro Negro fault zone (BNFZ) constrain its origin as a deeply-rooted, right-lateral strike-slip ...
Structural analysis in the Coast Range Ophiolite near Paskenta, California : implications for tectonic uplift processes
(2008)
California has been a site of subduction since about 155 Ma. The Franciscan complex accumulated in front of, and beneath, the crystalline leading edge of the North American Plate: a belt of oceanic crust and mantle known ...
Identifying source rocks and reservoir elements of South China Sea grabens using 3D seismic data, West Natuna Basin, Indonesia
(2008)
Reservoir quality and source potential are significant risk factors when exploring for hydrocarbons in Southeast Asian rift basins (Sladen, 1997b). In the West Natuna Basin, Indonesia, wells infrequently penetrate most of ...
Integrated core, well log, and seismic interpretation of Albian patch reefs in Maverick Basin, SW Texas
(2008)
The Albian Glen Rose Formation has been well known as a shallow shelf carbonate with common patch reef development along the interface between the Comanche Shelf and the Maverick Basin. Stratigraphic analysis of 75 well ...
The origin of partial-disequilibrium major- and trace-element zoning in garnets from the Picuris Mountains, NM
(2008)
New evidence from X-ray mapping, quantitative major- and trace-element analyses, and garnet-inclusion suites suggests that the disequilibrium behavior in garnets from the Picuris Mountains, NM, is the result of changes in ...
Structural and petrographic analysis of Cambrian rocks at Beavertail State Park, Narragansett Basin, Rhode Island
(2008)
Structural Mapping at 1:1000 scale of the Cambrian rocks within Beavertail State Park, Narragansett Basin, Rhode Island has revealed an early open to isoclinal fold generation (F₁) and axial planar foliation (S₁) followed ...
Quaternary seismic stratigraphic investigations, Yakutat Bay region, Gulf of Alaska : subglacial drainage mechanics and glacial expanse
(2008)
Quaternary tectonic and climate interactions have and continue to contribute to a substantial stratigraphic record that preserves the key regional events that result from the interplay of these dynamic processes. Near ...
Tectonic geomorphology of the eastern Trinidad shelf : implications for influence of structure on reservoir distribution and nature in older basin fill
(2008)
Few deltaic systems in tectonically active areas of the world exhibit more data for detailed study than the Orinoco Delta extending along the hydrocarbon-rich, narrow, eastern shelf of the island of Trinidad. The entire ...
Hydrogeological characterization of baseflow to Jacob's Well spring, Hays County, Texas
(2008)
Jacob's Well is a karst spring that discharges from the Trinity aquifer in central Texas. Ongoing development and increased groundwater pumping in the area around the spring are thought to be impacting the volume of discharge ...
