BOUNDARY CONDITIONS FOR A LATE TRIASSIC CLIMATE SIMULATION USING CESM1.2-SOM
(2022-08-16)
Climate models have been widely adapted to reconstruct the environmental changes and associated mass extinction events across geologic times, such as the Younger Dryas (~12.9 Kyr), the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maxima (~55 ...
NANOPETROPHYSICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF THE UPPER MANCOS SHALE IN THE SAN JUAN BASIN, NEW MEXICO, U.S.A.
(2022-09-01)
The San Juan Basin is no stranger to oil and gas production and the Mancos Shale is one of the formations of the basin that had been producing petroleum since the early 1920’s as conventional, and recently as, unconventional ...
Machine Learning-based Methods for the Segmentation of Scanning Electron Microscopy Images of Fine-Grained Shale Samples
(2022-12-15)
The segmentation of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images is critical yet time-consuming for geological studies, as it will need to differentiate the boundaries for different mineral objects to facilitate subsequent ...
A Comprehensive Analysis of the Evolution of Coastal Flooding in Texas and Louisiana for Application in Risk Assessment
(2022-12-09)
Coastal communities of the northern Gulf of Mexico have historically been at risk of flooding from tropical cyclone induced storm surge and extreme precipitation. Relative sea level rise resulting from a combination of ...
AGE, PROVENANCE AND TECTONIC IMPLICATIONS OF LATE PALEOZOIC VOLCANIC TUFFS IN SOUTHWEST LAURENTIA
(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 ...
REMEDIATION OF CONTAMINATED DUMPSITE SOIL: AN EVALUATION OF SOIL AMENDMENTS IN COMBINATION WITH PHYTOREMEDIATION
(2022-08-24)
Contamination of soils and water from open dump site leachate is a frequent problem in developing nations. Water supplies are threatened when water percolates through the waste, bringing with it a variety of substances, ...
MULTI-SCALE AND MULTI-APPROCH INVESTIGATIONS OF PETROPHYSICAL PROPERTIES AND FLUID FLOW IN NATURAL ROCKS
(2022-05-09)
Natural rock is one of the most important geological attributes on the Earth that have been widely related to human daily life in various aspects. Rocks are usually utilized with respect to their petrophysical properties ...
Investigating the frictional properties of organic matter and pore structure of organic-rich shales with atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy
(2022-12-19)
Understanding geomechanical properties of shales, such as stiffness properties and fracture toughness, is important in different areas of petroleum industry-related activities including fracturing efficiency, petroleum ...
Petrophysical Studies on Woodford Shale in Oklahoma and Wolfcamp Shale in Texas: A Multiple-Approach Methodology
(2022-05-09)
The successful development of oil and gas from unconventional reservoirs in the United States proves the high petroleum potential that shale rock reserves. Petrophysical studies on shale rocks are an important part of ...
