Bedrock vadose zone water storage dynamics are a critical component of the hydrologic cycle in many catchments, but direct observations of these dynamics are rare. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods are sensitive to ...

Sand is an important resource for coastal engineering. In Texas, many offshore sand deposits are found buried in Holocene fluvial sediments or estuarine environments like tidal channels or bayhead, flood, and ebb tide ...

Climate change causes shifts in precipitation, temperature, shifting climate zones and more, thus affecting the ecology and hydrologic feedbacks of many environments, specifically those existing in already warm, arid ...

The source of fluids in convergent margins can be traced using fluid-mobile elements such as Cl, Br, I, B, and Li. However, previous studies have often overlooked the forearc. Describing fluid loss from subducting oceanic ...

The research presented here focuses on the resolution enhancement of inverted seismic volumes and geological facies identification. In the first section I utilize a regularized neural network in the form of an autoencoder ...

The characterization of surface roughness properties provide context to the nature of geologic terrains, commonly partnered with field-based mapping on Earth and satellite-based photogeologic mapping in planetary sciences. ...

Age constraints suggest that the oldest Neoproterozoic “Snowball Earth” glaciation, known as the “Sturtian'' glaciation, began at ~717 Ma and may have been triggered by enhanced continental silicate weathering coinciding ...

Stress, saturation, and the presence of fractures impact the elastic properties and permeability of rocks and subsurface domains, in general. The Hikurangi margin of New Zealand displays different fault slip behavior, with ...

There is a well-known occurrence of felt seismicity and smaller seismic events in areas where hydraulic fracturing (HF) operations occur. The Eagle Ford shale play of south-central Texas experienced an increase in the rate ...

Deep-water depositional systems commonly show two end-member styles of stratigraphic architecture: laterally confined channelized deposits on the slope and more depositional, unconfined distributary channel-lobe deposits ...
