Tide tables are the method of choice for water level predictions in most coastal regions. In the United States, the National Ocean Service (NOS) uses harmonic analysis and time series of previous water levels to compute tide tables. This method is adequate for most locations along the US coast. However, for many locations along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, tide tables do not meet NOS criter...

The carbonate strata of the Burdigalian Guri Member are located in Dezful Embayment along northern Persian Gulf shore. Ichnofabric analysis and paleoecology described by investigating three outcrop sections. facies features show a very shallow marine environment with high oxidation content. contains remarkably well-preserved specimens Thalassinoides suevicus. It is mainly recorded as Y T forms ...

Tertiary geological events and Quaternary climatic fluctuations have been proposed as important factors of speciation in the North American flora and fauna. Few studies, however, have rigorously tested hypotheses regarding the specific factors driving divergence of taxa. Here, we test explicit speciation hypotheses by correlating geologic events with divergence times among species in the contin...

[1] The contemporary presence of the Puli Topographic Embayment within the Taiwanese thrust belt provides insight into processes that initiate and maintain a subcritical state in a thin‐skinned compressive wedge. Orogen‐scale analyses of Taiwan have succeeded in describing the processes and interactions that affect overall development of the thrust belt; however, relatively little is known abou...

The image logs interpretation from two wells in a fold hosting a west Iranian oil field located in the Dezful Embayment, SW Iran reveal the occurrence of two major systems of natural fractures. In the central part of the fold, the fold-related fractures include two sets of fractures trending N53°E and N34°E. In the eastern and also curved part of the fold, the strike of open fractures varies fr...

This contribution describes maps of the Copper Cliff Embayment (CCE) and Offset (CCO) dyke. The associated study attempts to unravel mode melt emplacement role pre-impact faults in deformation southern part Sudbury Igneous Complex (SIC). summarizes field observations (maps images) structural measurements. In addition, perspective views 3D Move model CCE CCO dyke are provided. data can be used b...

Abstract East Antarctic provinces lay at the heart of both Rodinian and Gondwanan supercontinents, yet poor exposure limited geophysical data provide few constraints on region’s tectonic evolution. The shape Mawson Continent, stable nucleus Antarctica, is one Antarctica’s most important, but contested features, with implications for global plate reconstructions local models. Here we show a majo...

Our long-term goal is to determine if submarine groundwater discharge (SGWD) is an important mechanism for delivering contaminants (i.e. heavy metals, organics) to harbors. We plan to accomplish this goal using a suite of naturally-occurring radium isotopes as tracers of SGWD and the dispersion of contaminants from the embayment (Buesseler/WHOI). In addition, we plan to develop a comprehensive ...
