Choi, J. K., Ryu, J. H. and Eom, J., 2011. Integration of spatial variables derived from remotely sensed data for the mapping of the tidal surface sediment distribution. Journal of Coastal Research, SI 64 (Proceedings of the 11th International Coastal Symposium), 1653 – 1657. Szczecin, Poland, ISSN 0749-0208 The sedimentary environments of tidal flats on the west coast of Korea are subjected to...

Detrital zircon studies are providing new insights on the evolution of sedimentary basins but the role of sedimentary recycling remains largely undefined. In a broad region of northwestern North America, this contribution traces the pathway of detrital zircon sand grains from Proterozoic sandstones through Phanerozoic strata and argues for multi-stage sedimentary recycling over more than a bill...

Two different conceptual models underlie the application of sequence stratigraphy by Exxon stratigraphers and later researchers. One, the global sea-level model (GSM), relates to presumed sea-level behaviour through time; the other, the sequence stratigraphic model (SSM), relates to the stratigraphic record produced during a single cycle of sea-level change. Though the two models are inter-rela...

We use a method based on a statistical geomagnetic field model to recognize and correct for inclination error in sedimentary rocks from early Mesozoic rift basins in North America, Greenland, and Europe. The congruence of the corrected sedimentary results and independent data from igneous rocks on a regional scale indicates that a geocentric axial dipole field operated in the Late Triassic. The...

The geothermal resources in sedimentary basin are affected by many factors because the characteristic of geothermal reservoirs is very complex, so the heat storage capacities are hard to calculate. This paper took Dunhuang Basin as an example to analyze the geological structure, stratigraphic structure and the formation mechanism of geothermal water based on the formation characteristics of the...

Diverse microbial communities and numerous energy-yielding activities occur in deeply buried sediments of the eastern Pacific Ocean. Distributions of metabolic activities often deviate from the standard model. Rates of activities, cell concentrations, and populations of cultured bacteria vary consistently from one subseafloor environment to another. Net rates of major activities principally rel...

A key goal of the STRATAFORM program has been to use observations of sedimentary processes operating on short time scales to improve our understanding of the development of stratigraphic sequences over time scales of 10 10 years. Tremendous progress in modeling sedimentary processes has been made under the program. However, further work is needed to achieve the goal of a processbased model for ...

The mathematical model of the movement of the shoreline in a sedimentary ocean basin (A Shoreline Problem) is a Stefan problem with variable latent heat. Swenson et al. [1] utilized an analogy with one-phase melting problem and developed a mathematical model for movement of shoreline in a sedimentary basin in response to changes in sediment line flux, tectonic subsidence of Earth's crust and se...

Methylmercury (MeHg) is the most bioavailable and toxic mercury species in the marine environment. MeHg concentration levels, methylation rates leading to MeHg formation, and methylation index (MI) are all used to assess the compliance of mercury to be methylated in the marine sedimentary environment. This paper reports on the works conducted on the MI upgrade. This paper proposes a new formula...
