Structural framework and its influence on the Quaternary-age sequence architecture of the northern shelf of Trinidad and Tobago
(2010-08)
The North Coast Marine Area (NCMA) extends across ~7000 km2 of the northern
Trinidad and Tobago shelf in water depths between 50 to 200 meters. In 2009 the
NCMA had two exploration blocks under active oil and gas exploration ...
Cenozoic evolution of a fragmented foreland basin, Altiplano plateau, southern Peru
(2012-05)
Debate persists on the timing, magnitude and style of crustal shortening, uplift and basin evolution in the Andes. Many studies suggest that the central Andes, including the Altiplano plateau, were gradually uplifted as a ...
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 ...
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 ...
Tidal signatures in sand prone, tectonically generated Jurassic straits, Scotland
(2006)
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: ...
Exhumation of the Lesser Himalaya of Northwest India : Zircon U-Pb and (U-Th)/He constraints and implications for the Neogene seawater evolution
(2016-08)
The kinematic and exhumational evolution of the Lesser Himalayan (LH) of Northwest India remains a topic of debate; the resolution of which may provide insight into the relationship between the weathering of chemically ...
Chronology of Cenozoic tectonic events in western Venezuela and the Dutch Antilles Islands based on integration of offshore seismic reflection data and onland geology
(2005)
Newly acquired BOLIVAR seismic reflection data from offshore western Venezuela and the Dutch Antilles are combined with existing geologic and geophysical data sets to examine the complex chronology of tectonic events ...
Cenozoic stratigraphic and tectonic history of the Grenada and Tobago basins as determined from marine seismic data, wells, and onland geology
(2005)
This thesis presents an integrated stratigraphic and tectonic evolution of the Grenada and Tobago basins using multi-channel seismic data collected in May, 2004, (BOLIVAR cruise), along with GULFREX seismic data collected ...
Detrital zircon (U-Th)/(Pb-He) geo- and thermo-chronometric constraints on provenance and foreland basin evolution of the Ainsa Basin, south-central Pyrenees, Spain
(2016-08)
Synorogenic foreland basin fill of the south central Pyrenees preserves the eroded remnants of the early stages of Pyrenean fold-thrust belt evolution and topographic growth. Detailed isotopic provenance analysis allows ...
