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 ...
THE NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS URBAN HEAT ISLAND MAGNITUDE AND ITS RELATION TO SEVERE AND EXTREME DROUGHT
(2021-05-04)
This study focuses on how summer droughts affect the urban heat
island (UHI) in Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW). The nocturnal UHI has been
computed by comparing downtown temperature observations to rural
temperature measurements ...
Petrophysical Studies of Well Cuttings from a Continues Geological Profile in Hockley County, Texas
(2021-12-09)
The Permian Basin currently leads the oil production in the United States; however, with increasing concerns for the global climate, it is crucial for oil and gas companies to operate as economically and efficiently as ...
Facies-Based and Anhydrite-Controlled Petrophysical Properties of the upper Clear Fork Formation in the Permian Basin in West Texas, USA
(2020-05-13)
The Leonardian-aged dolomite of the upper Clear Fork Formation in the Palm Sunday field of West Texas exhibits a wide range of facies that vary during deposition due to environmental factors such as water depth, wave energy, ...
GEOSPATIAL ANALYSIS OF POTENTIAL FLOODING FROM STORM SURGE AND SEA-LEVEL CHANGE ON THE TEXAS COAST BY 2100
(2020-05-14)
Tropical cyclones pose a major hazard to the State of Texas. Anthropogenic climate change and global warming have the potential to increase extreme weather events and lead to enhanced flood hazard zones. This study aims ...
NANO-PETROPHYSICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF THE OIL WINDOW OF EAGLE FORD SHALE FROM SOUTHWESTERN TO CENTRAL TEXAS, U.S.A.
(2020-08-05)
Eagle Ford Shale and the overlying Austin Chalk are the main producing plays throughout Central Texas. Due to the high clastic nature of Eagle Ford Shale and its ability to produce and maintain fractures from hydraulic ...
RECOMPILATION OF LITHOLOGICAL PROXIES ACROSS THE PERMIAN-TRIASSIC BOUNDARY
(2020-12-09)
The largest mass extinction occurred near the Permian-Triassic boundary (PTB; 251.902 ± 0.024 Ma; Shen et al., 2011), with the demise of more than 90% of marine species and 70% of terrestrial species. This study expands ...
Stable isotope composition of surface water across central Mexico
(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 MICROFOSSIL ASSOCIATION OF THE UPPER PART OF THE SALESVILLE FORMATION (LOWER MISSOURIAN, PENNSYLVANIAN) NEAR MINERAL WELLS, NORTH-CENTRAL TEXAS
(2021-05-09)
The microfossil association of the Salesville Formation (Strawn Group, Missourian, Pennsylvanian) of small foraminifers, fusulinids, conodonts, ostracodes, holothurian sclerites, and rare radiolarians, has received very ...
