A comprehensive study of marine sediments of NanTroSEIZE Project, offshore Japan : clay mineralogy, consolidation, and microfabric
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] This dissertation investigates the clay mineral assemblages, consolidation state, and microfabric of sedimentary strata along the Kumano transect of ... -
Evaluation of solitary waves as a mechanism for oil transport in elastic porous media : a case study of the south Eugene Island field, Gulf of Mexico basin
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)Hydrocarbons in shallow (< 1 km depth) Pleistocene sand reservoirs of the Eugene Island 330 field in the northern Gulf of Mexico basin are thought to have originated from Early Tertiary source sediments at depths of about ... -
Late-stage Laramide reactivation of Precambrian structures : evidence for [about]N-S Laramide shortening along the southeastern margin of the Wind River Mountains, Wyoming
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)Deformation along the southeastern margin of the Wind River Mountains during the late stages of the Laramide orogeny is a result of local [about]N-S Laramide shortening, which is in contrast to the regional NE-SW shortening ... -
Organic sulfur metabolisms in Eastern Lau Spreading Center hydrothermal vents
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Sulfur is a central element in deep-sea hydrothermal vent systems, and many thermophiles isolated from these environments have sulfur-based metabolisms. ... -
Oxygen isotopes from conodonts of the mid-continent, US : implications for Late Ordovician climate evolution
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] To test competing interpretations of Late Ordovician climate evolution, sea surface temperatures were estimated from oxygen isotope ratios of ... -
Permeability, clay mineralogy, and microfabric of fine-grained sediments from the Nankai Trough and Shikoku Basin, offshore southwest Japan
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)The Nankai Trough, a convergent plate boundary between the subducting Philippine Sea plate and overriding Eurasian plate, is located off the coast of southwest Japan. This study covers the central portion of the Kumano ...
