Late Quaternary sedimentary architecture and depositional history of the Monahans Dune Field, Winkler County, TX.
The Monahans dune field is a Quaternary eolian system on the Southern High Plains in west Texas. Previous work characterizing the Monahans is limited by the depth and spatial coverage of stratigraphic analyses. This study presents the initial results of an ongoing study of the dune system …

Seismic site characterization via joint modeling of horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratios and surface wave dispersion : developing and validating a geophysical tool for deciphering Quaternary stratigraphic architecture of the Monahans dune field, West Texas.
Quaternary deposition for the Monahans dune system is reflected in its stratigraphic architecture through various periods of dune accretion, stabilization, and erosion as well as buried clay, carbonate-rich soils, and playa lake deposits. The complex and discontinuous stratigraphy of Monahans is …
