(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
(2019-05)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, ... -
