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 ...
Evidence for changes in coastline-controlled base level from fluvial stratigraphy at Aeolis Dorsa, Mars
(2014-12)
There is evidence that a subset of fluvial deposits at Aeolis Dorsa, a basin on Mars, preserve incised valleys carved and filled during changes in base level, which was likely controlled by water surface elevation of a ...
Characterizing reservoir quality for geologic storage of CO2 : a case study from the Lower Miocene shore zone at Matagorda Bay, Texas
(2021-05-10)
The geologic storage of anthropogenic CO₂ through Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) is necessary to reduce the emissions produced as a biproduct of fossil fuel combustion. This process of injecting CO₂ into ...
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 ...
Tectonic and sea level controls on the back-stepping early miocene carbonate platforms: Adana Basin, Turkey
(2015-12)
The Karaisali complex exposes Miocene carbonate platforms that developed on a tectonically controlled, rugged antecedent topography during an ice-house system. The factors affecting platform initiation, architecture, facies ...
High order stratigraphic framework of intraslope growth faulted subbasins offshore Matagorda Bay, Texas
(2021-12-09)
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is currently one of the leading atmospheric emission mitigation technologies. To have meaningful impact on the atmosphere CO₂ concentrations, megatons (10⁶) of CO₂ must be removed from the ...
Lithofacies, depositional environment, and stratigraphic architecture of the deep-water hybrid mudrock system of the Pennsylvanian (Desmoinesian) Cherokee Group, Anadarko Basin, Texas Panhandle
(2016-05)
The Cherokee Group in the western Anadarko Basin, northeastern Texas Panhandle, is a Desmoinesian hybrid system of mudrocks interbedded with sandstones and carbonates in a deep- water foreland basin that had poor circulation ...
Subsurface structure, stratigraphy, and regional tectonic controls of the Guajira margin of northern Colombia
(2008-05)
I combine previous data from Mesozoic outcrops in the Guajira Peninsula of northern Colombia with new regional gravity, bathymetric, and seismic interpretations to demonstrate the existence of a 280-km-long, western extension ...
Seismic and stratigraphic interpretation of the Morichito Subbasin, eastern Venezuelan basin
(2008-08)
The Morichito Subbasin is a southwest-northeast oriented depocenter that is located in the Eastern Venezuelan Foreland Basin (EVFB). The Morichito Subbasin covers an approximate area of 1,000 km² between the Serranía del ...
