This work tests the consistency of sequence stratigraphic methods by comparing the model documented in this study with previous models for growth faulted, siliciclastic environments. Interpretations derive from sequence ...

This dissertation consists of three chapters describing seismic stratigraphic studies in three very different continental margin settings. The first chapter discusses the northwestern Ross Sea, the second discusses the ...

A geophysical and geological study utilizing high quality seismic and well log data was undertaken of a marginal basin in the Western Flores Sea, Indonesia, to document the evolution of Paleogene extensional basins and ...

Vertical incidence and wide angle seismic data suggest the central California transform margin is underlain at depth by a horizontal detachment surface above which strike-slip and compression occur. The boundary between ...

The nature of the basement underneath the Monagas foothills and the Serrania del Interior of the Eastern Venezuela Basin is unknown. It could consist of crystalline Precambrian, Paleozoic sedimentary rocks and/or Jurassic ...

The lower Cretaceous King Lear Formation (KLF) is a gently east-dipping succession of alluvial conglomerates and sandstones that were deposited in a small intra-arc basin. Supracrustal strata of Cretaceous age from within ...

Over 1,000 km of high resolution seismic profiles and nearly 200 piston cores, vibracores, and geotechnical boring descriptions were interpreted to document the evolution of the Trinity/Sabine incised valley system. Long-term ...

Approximately 3000 km of high and intermediate resolution seismic data and 117 sediment cores were examined to reconstruct the late Cenozoic glacial history of Bransfield Basin, Antarctica. The complexity of a glacial ...

Finite Element modeling of thrust faulting shows that the faults will propagate upward at very low angles from the leading edge of a regional horizontal decollement surface located at various depths in a homogeneous block ...

High-resolution geophysical and geologic data were acquired in western and central Ross Sea, Antarctica, to determine the: (1) maximum extent and configuration of the ice sheet during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM); (2) ...
