Paleogene sedimentation patterns and basin evolution during Andean orogenesis, Middle Magdalena Valley basin, Colombia
(2010-08)
The Central Cordillera and Eastern Cordillera of the northern Andes form the western and eastern flanks of the north-trending Middle Magdalena Valley basin. Previous estimates for the timing of initial exhumation of the ...
The effects of lateral tectonics on a fluvio-deltaic system : an application to the Ganges Brahmaputra Delta
(2013-05)
Deltaic systems have long been recognized for their socioeconomic impacts as well as their high potential to trap and store hydrocarbons. The Sediment Transport and Earth-surface Process (STEP) basin at the University of ...
Sedimentology and depositional history of the late Cenozoic Gila Group in the central Duncan Basin, Greenlee County, southeast Arizona
(2002)
This study documents the sedimentation and depositional history of the Upper Pliocene to Lower Pleistocene Upper Gila Group basin fill in the central Duncan basin, Greenlee County, southeast Arizona. The north-northwest ...
Geologic setting and reservoir characterization of Barnett Formation in southeast Fort Worth Basin, central Texas
(2014-08)
The Mississippian Barnett Formation is a prolific shale-gas reservoir that was deposited in the Fort Worth Basin, Texas. Many previous studies of the Barnett Formation have been conducted in the main production area; few ...
Detrital zircon U-Pb and (U-Th)/He geo-thermochronometry and submarine turbidite fan development in the Mio-Pliocene Gulf of California, Fish Creek-Vallecito Basin, southern California
(2014-08)
The Fish Creek-Vallecito Basin exposes an archive of sediment related to early rifting of the Gulf of California beginning at 8.0 Ma followed by Colorado River delta progradation from 5.3-3.0 Ma. Mio-Pliocene deposits from ...
Sequence stratigraphy, sandstone architecture, and depositional systems of the Lower Miocene succession in the Carancahua Bay Area, Texas Gulf Coast
(2011-08)
This study defines depositional environments and constructs the sequence stratigraphic framework of the lower Miocene Oakville Formation and the basal part of the middle Miocene Lagarto Formation in the Carancahua Bay area. ...
The Pennsylvanian Lower Strawn Group, Jack and Wise Counties, Fort Worth Basin : facies distribution and stratigraphic architecture
(2020-05-08)
The Lower Strawn Group in Jack and Wise counties of the Fort Worth Basin are laterally and vertically heterogeneous deltaic deposits comprising sandstones, siltstones, and shales with thin, discontinuous carbonates and ...
Response of minibasin subsidence to variable deposition : experiments and theory
(2012-05)
Differential loading induced deformation of a mobile substrate (e.g., salt tectonics) is an important process for the development of accommodation space and stratigraphic architectures in intra-slope minibasins. Numerous ...
Anatomy of deltaic compound clinoforms : Colorado Delta in Baja California, Mexico, Pliocene Colorado Delta in Fish Creek-Vallecito Basin, California, USA, and a review of modern examples
(2021-05-17)
Modern Delta systems commonly exhibit compound clinoforms that consist of two elements, a shoreline clinoform, and a separate subaqueous clinoform, both with a topset–foreset–bottomset morphology, with a wide low-gradient ...
Sequence stratigraphy in strike variable fluvio-lacustrine systems : evidence from Eocene Lake Uinta and modern analogs
(2021-05-10)
This thesis presents an outcrop-based, near depositional-strike cross section of fluvio-lacustrine interactions along the well-studied Nine Mile Canyon near Helper, Utah, highlighting the strike variability of facies and ...
