2-D Deformable-layer Tomostatics in Sichuan, China
(2015-08)Static correction for near-surface effects is a critical issue for onshore seismic data processing due to its significant impact on imaging the subsurface structure, especially for area with severe topographic and near-surface ... -
2-d Di-hadron Correlations at √sN N = 2.76 TeV using the ALICE experiment
(2015-05)The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN Geneva, Switzerland, attempts to recre- ate the initial conditions at the begining of our universe. Heavy ions ( Pb208) are accelerated up to 0.999999 of the speed of the light and ... -
2d DI-HADRON CORRELATION AT √SNN = 200 GeV USING THE STAR EXPERIMENT
(2012-12)The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Lab (BNL) in Long Island, New York, attempts to recreate the initial conditions at the birth of our universe. Heavy Au ions are accelerated up to 0.99995c ... -
3-D Plasmonic Nanoarchitectures: Fabrication, Characterization, and Applications
(December 2)Plasmonic nanostructures are known to concentrate incident light to their surfaces by collective electron oscillation, a.k.a., localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). Plasmonic hot-spot refers to locations where ... -
3-D SEISMIC SURVEY DESIGN VIA MODELING AND REVERSE TIME MIGRATION: PIERCE JUNCTION SALT DOME, TEXAS
(2014-05)Seismic forward modeling studies are required for adequately imaging complex geological structures, such as folds, faults, and domes. Many U.S. Gulf Coast salt domes are used for oil and gas exploration, brine production, ... -
3D Allostratigraphic Mapping and Facies Heterogeneity of a Compound Tributary Incised Valley System, Turonian Ferron Sandstone, Notom Delta, South-Central Utah
(2013-05)Incised valley systems are important for sequence stratigraphic and exploration purposes. The tributary component of these systems may inherit complicated, self-similar, plan-view morphologies from the drainage networks ... -
3D Crustal Modeling of the Barreirinhas and Ceara Basins of Northeastern Brazil
(2019-02-18)The Barreirinhas and Ceara Basins, offshore northeastern Brazil, cover a combined area of approximately 105,000 km^2 and formed north and south of the Romanche Fracture Zone (RFZ) respectively. The RFZ is a 4,500 km-long, ... -
3D GROUND-PENETRATING RADAR (GPR) INVESTIGATIONS: BURIED CULVERTS, HISTORICAL GRAVES, A SANDSTONE RESERVOIR ANALOG, AND AN IMPACT CRATER
(2016-05)Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is used to characterize a variety of subsurface targets such as buried culverts, historical graves, reservoir analogs, and impact craters. In the first case of “buried culverts” I evaluated ... -
3D Reconstruction of Tubular Structures Using MRI Projection Images
(May 2018)After imaging information became available in digital form, techniques for acquiring volumetric data evolved. 3D reconstruction is mostly performed using multislice stack images. The objective of this dissertation is to ... -
3D SEISMIC GEOMORPHOLOGY AND SEISMIC STRATIGRAPHY OF LATE QUATERNARY SHELF AND SHELF -MARGIN DEPOSITIONAL SYSTEMS, NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO
(2015-08)Optimal exploitation of deltaic reservoirs needs detailed facies and architectural element analysis as a base for a comprehensive geological model. To date, very few studies have evaluated regional shelf-margin deltaic ... -
3D Seismic Survey Design: Coil Shooting, Multi-Component (3C) Receivers with Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Case Histories
(2015-05)The effectiveness of seismic imaging depends on numerous factors, beginning with how the data are acquired. The analyses presented in this theses show the importance of survey design, as individual parameters exert a strong ... -
