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 ...
Analysis of quaternary faults and associated deformation of sedimentary basin fill : inner continental borderland of southern California
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
The San Andreas fault system is distributed across hundreds of kilometers in southern California. This transform system includes offshore faults along the shelf, slope and across the Gulf of Santa Catalina basin (GSCB) -- ...
Hydrology of the Forest City Basin, mid-continent, USA : implications for CO2 sequestration in the St. Peter sandstone
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
The purpose of this research was to perform a preliminary assessment of the stratigraphy, storage capacity, hydrology and mineraology of this basin to determine its suitability and structural trapping capacity for geologic ...
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 ...
Unraveling the fluid-present metamorphism of schists from garnet compositions in the Black Hills, South Dakota
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Garnets in Proterozoic metapelites in the Black Hills, South Dakota, were analyzed to determine their pressure, temperature and hydrothermal conditions of growth and to elucidate pressure-temperature-time paths of their ...
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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
A study of Quaternary active tectonics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This study presents first results on the topographic survey and shallow seismic reflection profile to assess Quaternary faulting in the northwestern ...
Bulk oxygen and carbon isotopic variation in the Late Cretaceous along with morphometric analysis of biserial planktonic foraminifera
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Expected [delta]13C shifts are absent in Tanzanian samples that span the majority of the Turonian Age (93.5 - 89.3 Ma). The [delta]13C values of bulk ...
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 ...
