Methods comparison and spatial analysis of field parameter quantification of unsaturated flow at an existing wastewater infiltration system : Mines Park, Golden, Colorado
(2006)
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 ...
Land subsidence along the Texas Gulf Coast due to oil and gas withdrawal
(2000)
Land subsidence caused by groundwater withdrawal in the Houston-Galveston region is a well-documented phenomenon. Subsidence of up to 3m (10ft) has been calculated in the region since 1905. Hydrocarbon withdrawal is a ...
Structural model and fracture analyses for a major gas emplacement in Devonian sandstones of the Subandes
(2009-12)
The fold and thrust belt of the Subandean Ranges (central and southern Bolivia, and northern Argentina) contains both gas and condensate production and reserves in Devonian quartzose sandstones within deep structures. ...
Provenance of the south Texas Paleocene-Eocene Wilcox Group, western Gulf of Mexico basin : insights from sandstone modal compositions and detrital zircon geochronology
(2009-08)
Sandstone modal compositions and detrital zircon U-Pb analysis of the Paleocene-Eocene Wilcox Group of the southern Gulf Coast of Texas indicate long-distance sediment transport primarily from volcanic and basement sources ...
Sequence stratigraphic framework and systems tracts analysis of Lower Miocene shelfal clastic deposits : Redfish Bay area, Texas Gulf Coast
(2005)
The deposits of the Lower Miocene section of the Redfish Bay area along the Texas Gulf Coast were characterized and their systems tracts and depositional environments were interpreted. A three-dimensional seismic volume ...
The tectonics of Tranquitas : a field study of rift through passive margin development and Laramide deformation in Triassic and Jurassic strata of the Sierra Madre Oriental, NE Mexico
(2005)
Exposed near Galeana, Nuevo Leon are sedimentary deposits and contemporaneous structures that record the rifting and opening of the Gulf of Mexico, passive-margin development, and Laramide compression in the region. A ...
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 ...
Kinematic analysis of outcrop-scale structures, southern Big Sur segment of Highway 1, Monterey and San Luis Obispo Counties, California
(2007)
The Nacimiento Block is located in the Southern Coast Ranges of California, and consists mainly of Franciscan Complex accretionary prism rocks. It is cross-cut by the San Gregorio-Hosgri Fault Zone, a major right-lateral ...
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 ...
