Eastward migration of the Caribbean plate relative to the South American plate is recorded by a 1100-km-long foreland basin which is oldest in the west (Maracaibo basin, 65-55 Ma) and youngest in the east (Columbus basin, ...

Throughout the past century, the Louisiana coastline has been deteriorating at an alarming rate. Fault induced subsidence has been suggested to be one of the likely drivers of this land loss. I directly addressed the control ...

The Atoka Group (Lower-Middle Pennsylvanian) of the Fort Worth Basin (FWB) forms a significant (~2-3 Tcf), and as yet underexploited, domestic gas resource that is often seen as a secondary target as operators make their ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Zoeppritz equations used in a typical reflection amplitude versus source-receiver offset (AVO) study to calculate the reflection and transmission coefficients do not directly consider the fluids filling the pore space ...

The recent expansion of Juniperus ashei (Ashe juniper) on the Edwards Plateau of Central Texas has prompted studies on the impact the juniper expansion has had on the hydrologic regime of the region. This study addresses ...

The traditional roles of stable isotopes in paleontology are as indicators of diet or climate. An emerging field of paleontology and geochemistry is to use isotopes in order to make inferences about extinct and fossil ...

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. ...

Seismic inversion is a geophysical tool that uses geologically constrained physical models to infer elastic interval properties (e.g., P-velocity, S-velocity, and density) from seismic interface data (e.g., reflection ...
