–Carbon bound in gibbsite, collected from a residual weathering profile developed on a Paleozoic granite in the Georgia Piedmont, was examined for its C content and found to be geologically young. The study site, located at the Panola Mountain Research Watershed, has developed a granite–saprolite–soil regolith in which C-gibbsite model ages deep within the profile (C-horizon) average about 8000...

no-bahar watershed is located, south of khorasan razavi province. geologically, the study area is a part of central iran zone. the rock units are late mesozoic and cenozoic in age in this watershed. no-babhar watershed includes several channels, which among them, only two main channels, motr-abad and solh-abad, have been studied. these rivers are mostly, braided channel in style, with high grad...

the rapid growth in natural gas consumption has increased the need for gas storage, in particular in the form of injection into depleted reservoirs. also, co2 sequestration into the depleted reservoirs has attracted a large attention recently. however, it is important to ensure that the injection pressure is maintained below a certain limit to avoid unsealing the cap rock or reactivation of any...

[1] Recent spectroscopic detections of CH4 in the atmosphere of Mars are the first definitive observations of an organic compound on that planet. The relatively short photochemical lifetime of CH4 ( 300 years) argues for a geologically young source. We demonstrate here that lowtemperature alteration of basaltic crust by carbon-bearing hydrothermal fluid can produce the required CH4 flux of 1 10...

Seismic data provide detailed information about subsurface structures. Reflection events visible in the seismic data are known as horizons, and indicate boundaries between different rock layers. A fault is a surface along which one side of rock layers has moved relative to the other in a direction parallel to the surface. Faults are recognized in seismic data by discontinuities of horizons. Fau...

seed cap tightness is known to be highly associated with the low germinability of sugar beet fruits. despite, accomplishment of physiological phases of germination in germinating sugar beet seed with a tight cap, seedling emergence is usually suppress by the cap. as the seed coat (including the cap) is originated from ovary wall of the mother plant, seed cap tightness could be considered as one...

The Industrial Revolution has led to a substantial i ncrease in the generation and release of greenhouse gases (GHG) into environment. These GHGs like CO2 if present in abundance in the atmosphere cause damage to the natural ecosystems through global warming. One of the possible approaches to mitigate the global warming phenomena is by safely and long-term underground disposal of CO2 in suitabl...

Inversion of seismic data to rock properties is not a new method, however there are a wide variety of methodologies available one can use to achieve those estimates. The number of potential AVO equations one has access to now exceeds what many would consider useful. The problem then becomes, which of the several methods should be applied, given a specific exploration or development goal? While ...
