The North Coast Marine Area (NCMA) extends across ~7000 km2 of the northern Trinidad and Tobago shelf in water depths between 50 to 200 meters. In 2009 the NCMA had two exploration blocks under active oil and gas exploration ...

Debate persists on the timing, magnitude and style of crustal shortening, uplift and basin evolution in the Andes. Many studies suggest that the central Andes, including the Altiplano plateau, were gradually uplifted as a ...

The Central Cordillera and Eastern Cordillera of the northern Andes form the western and eastern flanks of the north-trending Middle Magdalena Valley basin. Previous estimates for the timing of initial exhumation of the ...

Deltaic systems have long been recognized for their socioeconomic impacts as well as their high potential to trap and store hydrocarbons. The Sediment Transport and Earth-surface Process (STEP) basin at the University of ...

The kinematic and exhumational evolution of the Lesser Himalayan (LH) of Northwest India remains a topic of debate; the resolution of which may provide insight into the relationship between the weathering of chemically ...

Synorogenic foreland basin fill of the south central Pyrenees preserves the eroded remnants of the early stages of Pyrenean fold-thrust belt evolution and topographic growth. Detailed isotopic provenance analysis allows ...

This study provides new insights on the mechanisms that controlled the development of solution-enhanced fractures and suprastratal deformation associated with the Mississippian Madison Sequence IV evaporite paleokarst ...

The fault-bounded Cianzo basin represents a Cenozoic intermontane depocenter between the Puna plateau and Eastern Cordillera of the central Andean fold-thrust belt in northern Argentina. New characterizations of fold-thrust ...
