Cloud Ecologies: An Environmental Ethnography of Data Centers
… centers to deeper histories of air conditioning, speleology, and architecture. I turn to figuration to narrate the hydraulic paradox of the Cloud as simultaneously hydrophilic and hydrophobic, as part of the hydrological cycle and vulnerable to the deluges precipitated by hurricanes. Inspired by …

Delineation of Karst Geohazards along RM 652 Through the Use of Ground Penetrating Radar: Culberson County, Texas
<p>The Delaware Basin is the western member of the larger Permian Basin, and is located in the Trans-Pecos region of Texas and New Mexico. The Delaware Basin hosts significant evaporite karst geohazards throughout the Gypsum Plain of the Castile Formation, where geohazards of all scales form …

LIDAR-BASED DELINEATION OF KARST FEATURES IN THE GYPSUM PLAIN, EDDY COUNTY, NEW MEXICO AND CULBERSON COUNTY, TEXAS
<p>The Gypsum Plain of the Delaware Basin encompasses approximately 1,800 km<sup>2</sup> of massive to laminated gypsum (anhydrite in the subsurface) outcrop of early Ochoan Castile and Salado strata. These extensive Permian-age evaporites host significant karst phenomena as a result of the …

Speleogenesis and Delineation of Megaporosity and Karst Geohazards Through Geologic Cave Mapping and LiDAR Analyses Associated with Infrastructure in Culberson County, Texas
<p>The Gypsum Plain region of the Delaware Basin hosts approximately 1800 km<sup>2</sup> of the Castile Formation outcrop. A myriad of karstic developments from closed sinkholes to large multi-kilometer cave systems have been documented within the region. Karst studies on the distribution and …

Characterization of Surface Karst Using LiDAR and Field Traverses, Fort Hood Military Installation, Coryell County, Texas
<p>The Fort Hood Military Installation is a karst landscape that has been significantly altered for training exercises that include heavy vehicle maneuvers and simulated combat. Traditional karst surveys are often time-consuming and require extensive field analyses to adequately characterize large …

Speleogenetic Evolution and Geological Remote Sensing of the Gypsum Plain, Eddy County, New Mexico
<p>Permian evaporites of the Gypsum Plain region of the Delaware Basin host extensive karst phenomena, as well as unique diagenetic alterations of host strata. Because of the complex, poorly understood hydrogeologic system, little has been established concerning the relation and evolution of the …

Characterization and Delineation of Karst Geohazards Along RM652 Using Electrical Resistivity Tomography, Culberson County, Texas
<p>The Delaware Basin of West Texas and southeastern New Mexico is the major western subdivision of the Permian Basin and a northern extension of the Chihuahuan Desert. The major evaporite unit within the Delaware Basin is the Castile Formation, which consists of gypsum/anhydrite and is highly …

GEOPHYSICAL DELINEATION OF MEGAPOROSITY AND FLUID MIGRATION PATHWAYS FOR GEOHAZARD CHARACTERIZATION WITHIN THE DELAWARE BASIN, CULBERSON COUNTY, TEXAS
<p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p> <p>Differential dissolution of gypsum karst within the Delaware Basin poses a significant threat to infrastructure that society depends on. The study area is located in Culberson County, Texas and traverses a distance of approximately 54 kilometers along RM 652 …
