A 20,000 year flowstone record of Gulf of Mexico sourced moisture in Texas
(2016-05)
Understanding how future atmospheric warming may affect moisture distribution in the American Southwest is becoming increasingly important. To this end, various paleoclimatic proxies have been used to investigate the range ...
Shelf-to-basin architecture and facies variability of a Cretaceous intrashelf basin in the northwest Gulf of Mexico
(2015-12)
The geomorphic expression of intrashelf basin systems (ISBs) and their associated facies patterns is extremely subtle, with shelf-to-basin dip angles that can average 0.3° across the slope profile. This presents an issue ...
Fabric development and pore-throat reduction in a mass-transport deposit in the Jubilee gas field, eastern Gulf of Mexico : consequences for the sealing capacity of MTDs
(2015-08)
Mass-transport complexes (MTCs) and Mass-transport deposits (MTDs) are important stratigraphic elements in many deepwater basins. MTCs have traditionally been identified as seals but can also act as migration pathways. ...
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 ...
