The study area is situated along the obliquely converging boundary of the Caribbean and South American plates offshore eastern offshore Trinidad. Major structural elements in the shelf break and deep-water slope regions ...

The late Cretaceous-aged Eagle Ford and Boquillas Formations were deposited on the Texas paleoshelf during a major transgressive sequence wherein organic-rich mudrocks accumulated across the paleoshelf. This study investigates ...

The Woodford Shale formation is currently an important unconventional gas resource that extends across parts of the mid-continent of the United States. A resource shale acts as source, seal, and reservoir, and its ...

Hydrate Ridge is a peanut shape bathymetric high located about 80 km west of Newport, Oregon on the Pacific continental margin, within the Cascadia subduction zone’s accretionary wedge. The ridge's two topographic highs ...

Lepidosirenidae is a clade of freshwater lungfishes that comprise the South American Lepidosiren paradoxa and four African species of the genus Protopterus. These two genera have been geographically separated since the ...

A novel, shallow-investigation, high-resolution 3D (HR3D) seismic acquisition system has been employed, for the first time in the Gulf of Mexico, to characterize CO₂ storage potential and de-risk targets for sequestration. ...

Globally, over half of all rivers are regulated in some way. In some cases, river regulation is the dominant factor governing fluid exchange and soil gas dynamics in the hyporheic and unsaturated zones of the river banks. ...

Shallowly-buried channel systems have been imaged on the New Jersey Shelf with high-resolution seismic imaging. These channels formed as riverine systems that occupied the exposed shelf during the Last Glacial Maximum, ...

Natural fracture systems are important for production in shale gas reservoirs as they may contribute to permeability of the reservoir, or they may reactivate during hydraulic fracture treatment. However, little is known ...

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 ...
