Subsurface water reclamation systems (SWRS) in mountain watersheds commonly experience issues of water sustainability, and are generally designed through judgment and experience rather than through rigorous quantitative ...

The Moine nappe between the Ben Hope and Moine thrusts in northern Scotland displays strain partitioning with extreme flattening adjacent to the Ben Hope thrust and apparent constriction lower in the nappe package. Strathan ...

The Mid-Jurassic Bearreraig Formation is superbly well exposed on the Isles of Skye and Raasay in NW Scotland. In southern Skye the Bearreraig displays a spectacular, cyclical hierarchy of sand rich, tide-generated bedforms: ...

Individual deformation bands within porous sandstones reduce permeability and form barriers to fluid flow. A network of deformation bands can destroy reservoir connectivity and impose compartmentalization. Consequently, ...

The study area is located on the continental slope in the Green Canyon deep-water area of the Gulf of Mexico. This area is being investigated by the Bureau of Economic Geology as part of several active gas hydrate studies ...

The modern insular shelf and slope of western Puerto Rico is characterized by reef carbonate and siliciclastic sedimentary environments controlled by the complex interplay of tectonic arching and faulting, vigorous erosion ...

The use of scaled physical modeling of thin-skinned fold-and-thrust belts allows isolation of key parameters in the development of convex-toward-the-foreland folds and thrusts. Unlike salients formed in natural settings, ...

Quantitative seismic geomorphology and morphometric analysis of modern and paleo-landforms are powerful tools for extracting data about geologic history, processes, and fill architecture of terrestrial and marine basins. ...

Historic lime mortars are an amalgam of natural and man-made materials. Thus, the study of lime mortars inherently requires interdisciplinary approaches. In an effort to evaluate the applicability of select analytical ...

Eastward migration of the Caribbean plate relative to the South American plate is recorded by a 1100-km-long foreland basin which is oldest in the west (Maracaibo basin, 65-55 Ma) and youngest in the east (Columbus basin, ...
