Linking Gulf of Mexico margin submarine canyons to regional tectonics and interaction of Paleogene Lower Wilcox high frequency sequences with the Yoakum Canyon
(2017-05)
In northern Gulf of Mexico, a clustering in a 100-150 km wide area of six Late Cretaceous-Paleogene age incisions up to 1000 m deep and 100 km long suggest a structural rather than eustatic control. The incisions ...
Pre-injection reservoir characterization for CO₂ storage in the inner continental shelf of the Texas Gulf of Mexico
(2017-05)
The injection of CO₂ into the subsurface (carbon capture and storage; CCS) is the most viable approach to significantly reduce industrial emissions of greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere. The inner continental shelf of 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 ...
Zircon U-Pb chronostratigraphy and provenance of the Cycladic Basement and CBU on Sikinos and Ios Islands, Greece
(2018-08)
Sikinos and Ios Islands, located in the Southern Cyclades of the Aegean, are part of a Cenozoic metamorphic core complex system that exposes subduction-related rocks in the highly-extended back-arc region of the Hellenic ...
Methane resaturation in Barnett Formation core plugs and determination of post-coring gas loss
(2017-05)
Understanding the physiochemical mechanisms that control the loss of gas during coring processes is critical to accurately determining gas-in-place (GIP) resource assessments of unconventional shale-gas plays. Our study ...
Multidecadal rainfall variability in the South Pacific convergence zone using the geochemistry of stalagmites from the Solomon Islands
(2016-08)
The instrumental record of hydroclimate variability in the South Pacific is sparse and of short duration; rainfall observations span on average 60-70 years, albeit, non-continuously. Therefore, proxy records of rainfall ...
Characterization and timing of the Cave Peak porphyry molybdenum system, Culberson County, Texas
(2022-10-06)
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 ...
