Cratonic basins are large depressions filled with sediments that are located on cratonic shields. They are huge repositories of hydrocarbons, fresh water aquifers, and other important resources, and therefore are of important ...

The Llanos foreland basin (LFB) of Colombia is the country's most prolific oil producer, with most known oil fields found in anticlines bounded by normal faults. The objective of the study is to assess the reservoir potential ...

This study examines the long history of aquifer compaction observed at the Addicks Facility using the continuous measurements of one USGS borehole extensometer (1975-2012) and two Subsidence District GPS stations (1996-2012). ...

The Late Cretaceous Uinta Basin is a foreland basin located in northeastern Utah within the northern most portion of the Colorado Plateau. The basin's uplift and subsidence history and thermal evolution have impacted the ...

Himalayan foreland basin strata were recently documented to crop out in a structural window in the central portion of the Himalayan thrust belt. Presently, structural interpretations of the thrust belt do not explain in ...

Incised valley systems are important because they contain significant hydrocarbon reserves, provide clues into the geologic history of a region, and are crucial for sequence stratigraphic interpretations. The fluvial/deltaic ...

Fluvial deposits in the Tithonian Brushy Basin Member of the Morrison Formation were studied in order to create a facies architectural diagram and reconstruction of a fluvial system exposed in outcrop. This study provides ...

Mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORBs) along the Gakkel Ridge in the Arctic Eurasian basin have varying levels of trace element enrichment. The purpose of this research is to determine the extent to which the trace element ...

The Malton Gneiss Dome is located in the Southern Canadian Cordillera, at the northern most tip of the Shuswap Metamorphic Core Complex (SMCC). It is one of four domes within the SMCC, and is located closest to the foreland. ...

New Re-Os isotope data on organic-rich mudrocks (ORMs) from the Neoproterozoic Upper Fifteenmile Group, Coal Creek Inlier, Yukon Territory, Canada and the Paleozoic Quamby Fm., Turnbridge Borehole, Tasmania yield depositional ...
