AGE, PROVENANCE AND TECTONIC IMPLICATIONS OF LATE PALEOZOIC VOLCANIC TUFFS IN SOUTHWEST LAURENTIA
Tian, Hepeng (2022-08-17)Assembly of the supercontinent Pangea is among the most important tectonic events in late Paleozoic Earth history. The diachronous Laurentia-Gondwana collision destroyed the intervening subduction zone(s) of the Rheic ... -
Constraining The Provenance Of Middle Cenozoic Fluvial Sandstone In The Central Rocky Mountains Using Detrital Zircon U-pb Geochronology And Sandstone Petrography
Mankin, Alex Leigh (Geology, 2014-09-17)Detrital zircon U-Pb geochronology and sandstone petrography are studied to constrain the provenance of middle Cenozoic fluvial sandstone in the Central Rocky Mountains. Petrographic point counting of 12 sandstone samples ... -
Controlling factors of river water stable isotope compositions and middle to late Cenozoic deposition and surface uplift history of the southern Rocky Mountains, U.S.A.
Zhu, Lu; 0000-0001-7343-2531 (2019-09-03)The Cenozoic topographic evolution of the Rocky Mountains (Rockies) and Great Plains in the western U.S.A. reflect a combination of mantle geodynamic, crustal deformation and surface erosional processes. This region was ... -
MULTI-SCALE CHARACTERIZIATION OF PORE STRUCTURE AND MASS TRANSPORT IN NATURAL ROCKS
Yuan, Xiaoqing; 0009-0000-7642-8781 (2024-01-29)**Please note that the full text is embargoed until 02/01/2026** The mass transport process in porous natural rocks is notably influenced by the pore structure with both geometrical and topological attributes. Nevertheless, ... -
NO MAJOR CHANGES ON PALEOCLIMATE AND PALEOENVIRONMENT ACROSS THE EOCENE–OLIGOCENE TRANSITION IN THE CENTRAL ROCKY MOUNTAINS
Ayyash, Sara (2015-12-08)Earth’s climate has experienced dramatic cooling during the Eocene-Oligocene Transition (EOT) based on well-constrained marine geological records, however, a consensus on the terrestrial responses to this event has not ... -
PETROGRAPHY AND GEOCHEMISTRY OF CONTINENTAL CARBONATES IN SOUTH TEXAS: IMPLICATIONS FOR OLIGOCENE-MIOCENE PALEOCLIMATE AND PALEOENVIRONMENT NEAR SEA LEVEL
Godfrey, Conan RayThe Oligocene-Miocene Catahoula, Oakville, and Goliad formations in south Texas contain abundant continental carbonates which are useful in reconstructing paleoclimate and paleoenvironment in a near sea level region. Field ... -
Stable isotope composition of surface water across central Mexico
Foote, Jordan (2020-12-09)Understanding the controlling factors of modern surface water stable isotope compositions is important for reconstructions of paleoclimate and paleoelevation. Few studies have attempted to understand patterns of surface ... -
The Subsidence Evolution Of The Fort Worth Basin In North Central Texas, U.S.A.
Al Salem, Ohood Bader (Environmental & Earth Science, 2014-09-17)Although the Fort Worth Basin in north-central Texas has become a major shale-gas production system in recent years, its subsidence history and dynamic relationship to the Ouachita fold-and-thrust belt have not been well ... -
Tectonic processes and continental hydroclimate during the Laramide deformation in the central Rocky Mountains
Gao, Min (2017-05-12)The central Rocky Mountains in western U.S.A. is a geologic province formed by the low-angle subduction of the Farallon oceanic plate under the North American continental plate during the latest Cretaceous–early Eocene ... -
Timing, Provenance, And Paleoclimate Implications Of The Cenozoic Eolian Deposition In The Central Rocky Mountains, USA
Rowley, Jillian (Geology, 2014-03-12)This study applies detrital zircon U-Pb geochronology and sandstone petrography to constrain the timing and provenance of Cenozoic eolian sandstone in the central Rocky Mountains. Four samples, collected at the transition ... -
TRACING PALEOZOIC SILICICLASTIC SEDIMENT DISPERSAL TO THE FORT WORTH AND MIDLAND BASINS: IMPLICATIONS FOR PALEOGEOGRAPHY AND ORGANIC MATTER ACCUMULATION
Al salem, Ohood Bader; 0000-0003-1021-4603 (2019-05-14)The Fort Worth and Midland Basins in central and West Texas are major petroleum-producing systems in North America. The provenances of the thick Paleozoic sedimentary rocks in both basins are poorly constrained, although ...
