Sedimentary units generally present anisotropy in their hydraulic properties, with higher hydraulic conductivity along bedding planes, rather than perpendicular to them. This common property leads to a modeling challenge if the sedimentary structure is folded. In this paper, we show that the gradient of the geological potential used by implicit geological modeling techniques can be used to comp...

We performed a ground level geomagnetic survey of Greene County, Ohio in the fall of 1976. The geomagnetic map showed a positive magnetic anomaly running from the northwestern section to the southeastern section of the county while the remainder of the map was relatively undisturbed. We analyzed the localized anomaly of the southeastern section by the Peters methods and by fitting to the model ...

Small-crater counts on Mars light-toned sedimentary rock are often inconsistent with any isochron; these data are usually plotted then ignored. We show (using an 18-HiRISE-image, > 10 4 -crater dataset) that these non-isochron crater counts are often well-fit by a model where crater production is balanced by crater obliteration via steady exhumation. For these regions, we fit erosion rates. We ...

It has been previously proposed that alkalinity release from sediments can play an important role in the carbonate dynamics on continental shelves, lowering the pCO2 of seawater and hence increasing the CO2 uptake from the atmosphere. To test this hypothesis, sedimentary alkalinity generation was quantified within cohesive and permeable sediments across the North Sea during two cruises in Septe...

We view the structures and features described in this atlas as sedimentary structures, albeit of a complex organo-physico-chemical origin. Just like their physical sedimentary structure counterparts (e.g., Pettijohn and Potter, 1964), they can be of great assistance in unravelling depositional palaeoenvironments inferred for ancient rock successions. Pettijohn and Potter (1964) included stromat...

We developed a simple method to parameterise fluvial point bars, which are common sedimentary deposits in meandering river environments. The method needs four points defining the point bar and is based on high-resolution seismic data. A model geometry is compared with the real point bar geometry. We optimise the model parameters by minimizing the error in the area covered by both objects. The m...
