Shallow-water tropical reefs and the deep sea represent the two most diverse marine environments. Understanding the origin and diversification of this biodiversity is a major quest in ecology and evolution. The most prominent and well-supported explanation, articulated since the first explorations of the deep sea, holds that benthic marine fauna originated in shallow, onshore environments, and ...

Water vapor is a constituent of the tropical atmosphere which, though to a significant extent locally controlled by vertical advection, precipitation, and surface evaporation, is also affected by horizontal advection. Water vapor affects the flow in turn, because a humid atmosphere supports deep, precipitating convection more readily than a dry atmosphere. Precipitation heats the atmosphere, an...

Detailed log facies studies of Miocene succession in the well Rashidpur-04, Rashidpur structure, Surma Basin were carried out by integrating wireline log and limited core sample data in order to reconstruct the paleoenvironments of deposition. Based on the analysis of the log motifs, grain size, sand/shale ratio and major change in gamma ray log motifs, two major depositional sequences were ide...

This thesis reviews observational and theoretical work on the equatorial deep jets and work related to the study of the role of the horizontal Coriolis parameter. Most existing analytical models interpret the equatorial deep jets as either low frequency, long Rossby waves or stationary, long Kelvin waves generated at or near the ocean surface. These models are unable to answer the question of h...

geosmin and mib are the common factors causing odor in the water. water treatment plants usually employ the conventional processes such as aeration, coagulation, flocculation, chlorination or ozonation and adsorption as preventive measures to reduce water odor. but each of these processes alone cannot completely remove the smell. the smell of fish, grass and mud greatly depends on the excessive...

Identification of similar Turbidite features on well log and Seismic There have been many studies of how Direct Hydrocarbon Indicators (DHIs) can help or hurt us when trying to distinguish fluid and lithology effects on seismic amplitudes. The integration of outcrop studies can enhance the interpretation of complex reservoirs in deep-water depositional settings. In this paper we present observa...
