The Pennsylvanian (early Desmoinesian) Caddo Limestone in Stephens County, Texas hosts important reservoirs and hydrocarbon resources. Therefore, constructing a three-dimensional geological model of the Caddo Limestone is ...

The research reported in this thesis focuses on the prediction of reservoir parameters and their uncertainties. The thesis comprises two studies. In the first part, I focus on quantitative and seismic interpretation problem, ...

Bedrock vadose zone water storage dynamics are a critical component of the hydrologic cycle in many catchments, but direct observations of these dynamics are rare. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods are sensitive to ...

Sand is an important resource for coastal engineering. In Texas, many offshore sand deposits are found buried in Holocene fluvial sediments or estuarine environments like tidal channels or bayhead, flood, and ebb tide ...

The Cave Peak molybdenum deposit is a breccia-hosted porphyry system located on the eastern flank of the Sierra Diablo mountains in west Texas. The deposit belongs to the class of high-grade, rift-related, fluorine-rich ...

Understanding how barrier islands respond to factors such as variations in sediment supply, relative sea-level rise, and accommodation is valuable for preparing coastal communities for future impacts of climate change. ...

Shale sedimentology is one of the less explored areas of sedimentary geology. Shales account for two-thirds of the sedimentary rock record and preserve large portions of Earth's history in relatively continuous successions. ...
