Dynamo in the Desert: Energy Development and Environmental Contestation in the San Juan Basin, 1960-1985
… thesis examines coal-energy development in the San Juan Basin, which is located in the culturally rich and environmentally diverse Four Corners region. Between 1960 and 1985 intensive coal-energy development—in the form of strip mines and power plants—took place in the western portion of the San …

Controls on deposition, lithologic variability, and reservoir heterogeneity of prolific western interior shelf sandstone reservoirs: Tocito and El Vado sandstones, San Juan Basin, NM
The Tocito and El Vado Sandstones have proven to be highly prolific hydrocarbon reservoirs in the largest domestic onshore conventional gas basin in the U.S., the San Juan Basin (SJB). Application of modern drilling technology and favorable petroleum commodity prices have resulted in increased …

Fluvial influence on high-frequency sedimentary cycle geometry: The transition from strandplain to deltaic deposition in the Cretaceous Point Lookout Sandstone, San Juan Basin, Colorado
The Point Lookout Sandstone undergoes an abrupt transition from strandplain-dominated to deltaic-dominated deposition in the northwestern part of the San Juan Basin near Durango, Colorado. The onset of deltaic deposition is preceded by a base level fall and development of a Type 2 sequence boundary …

The Chaco connection: Bonito style architecture in outlier communities
… Chaco Anasazi constructed at least 12 imposing sandstone masonry great houses in Chaco Canyon, in the San Juan Basin of northwestern New Mexico. Bonito style architecture, as defined in part by the canyon great houses, appears in nearly 100 Chacoan outlier communities throughout the greater San …

Whole genome sequencing to characterize Cutthroat Trout populations across the Continental Divide
… River Cutthroat Trout, as well the form from the San Juan basin. We additionally identified the persistence of ancestral and unique spatial genetic diversity despite widespread historic stocking. These findings, along with an analysis of long-term effective population sizes, provide key insights …

LABORATORY INVESTIGATION OF COAL PERMEABILITY UNDER REPLICATED IN SITU STRESS REGIME
… Three samples were tested, one from the San Juan basin and the other two from the Illinois basin. The experimental results showed that, under uniaxial strain conditions, decreasing pore pressure resulted in a significant decrease in horizontal stress and increased permeability. The …
