Quantifying channelized submarine depositional systems from bed to basin scale
… deposits for deciphering the behavior of these systems. In this thesis, I take advantage 3-D subsurface seismic data and outcrop exposures to study turbidites at scales ranging from bed to basin. At the basin scale, I develop a method to estimate the time-frame over which sedimentation and …

Analytical and statistical approaches toward understanding sedimentation in siliciclastic depositional systems
… A power law distribution may be, for some systems, the primary input signal and a one dimensional model allows qualitative-quantitative characterization of the effects of different fan processes. Environments dominated by different fan processes may be characterized based on the degree to …

DEPOSITIONAL SYSTEMS INTERPRETATION OF EARLY PERMIAN MIXED SILICICLASTICS AND CARBONATES, MIDLAND BASIN, TEXAS
… Texas was examined in detail to determine the depositional setting of an Upper Wolfcampian and Lower Leonardian-aged mudstone succession. The studied sediments were deposited close to the center of the Midland Basin in a deep water, mixed carbonate and siliciclastic system. Core X was described …

Magnetic Characteristics of Carboniferous Continental Depositional Systems: Implications for the Recognition of Depositional Hiatuses
… to bridge magnetic studies into ancient systems. In cases where environmental materials have been subjected to diagenetic alteration two questions come to mind: 1) What part of the magnetic signal is preserved in the rocks; and 2) can the preserved signal be used to infer/identify …

Deep-marine depositional systems of the western North Atlantic: Insights into climate and passive-margin evolution
… record differ with respect to a given depositional environment, deposits in deep-marine settings, particularly passive margins, provide a unique, long-term record of paleoclimate, paleoceanography, and tectonics affecting the basin in question. Whereas deep-marine strata may be used to …

Framework Grain Composition and Texture of the Wedington Sandstone Member, Fayetteville Shale, as a Provenance and Sediment Dispersal Indicator for Clastic Depositional Systems Across the Northern Arkansas Structural Platform During the Late Mississippian
… vector which predates the Spiro and Wedington systems becomes one of the dominant supply systems for the remainder of the Pennsylvanian fill across central Arkansas. Sediment for the Wedington was likely derived from a mix of source terrains including: the Nemaha Ridge, an older recycled …

Stratigraphy And Depositional Environments Of Lower And Middle Cambrian Strata In The Lake Mead Region, Southern Nevada And Northwestern Arizona
The stratigraphy and depositional systems revealed within the Lower to Middle Cambrian Tapeats Sandstone-Pioche Shale-Lyndon Limestone-Chisholm Shale succession were studied between the easternmost limit of Cretaceous overthrusting in southern Nevada and the western edge of the Colorado Plateau in …

Provenance and tectonic significance of the Lower Paleozoic Douglas Conglomerate, northern Churchill Mountains, Antarctica
… a recycled orogen provenance for the Douglas Its depositional basin may have developed within a fold-and-thrust belt or along an active transform fault. Subsequent tectonism dismembered the formation, but its composition suggests the basin had fault-controlled margins walled within Shackleton …

Analysis of the Upper Cotton Valley Group in the Northeastern Mississippi Interior Salt Basin
… Jurassic to Early Cretaceous time. The primary depositional systems recognized in the study area include fluvial-deltaic systems, interdeltaic systems, and transgressive barrier bar systems. Locations of potential stratigraphic traps can be identified by changes in net sand within the Dorcheat …

Stratigraphic Analysis and Reservoir Characterization of the Late Oligocene-Early Miocene, Upper Yenimuhacir Group, Thrace Basin, Turkey
… basin evolution, sedimentation and stratigraphy, depositional systems, and hydrocarbon potential. Eocene turbiditic sandstones and reefal limestones, and Oligocene deltaic sandstones are the major reservoir targets in the basin today. The focus of this research is the Upper Oligocene deltaic …

Modeling Departures From Abiotic Expectations During the Calcium Carbonate Precipitation Process
… of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in natural systems, quantifying the extent to which biological influences drive precipitation in carbonate depositional environments remains an unresolved problem. Thus, a quantitative understanding of biological-mineral-aqueous interactions is needed to …

Identifying source rocks and reservoir elements of South China Sea grabens using 3D seismic data, West Natuna Basin, Indonesia
… available logs, rift analogues, and rift models, depositional systems were interpreted at 20-40 meter vertical resolution. The observed stratigraphic architecture, when compared with models, shows a classic, tectonically-influenced, half graben sedimentary fill in the West Natuna rift (Schlische & …
