The studies were carried out on 93 samples of cuttings from the K1 oil well. These processed using Fluorescence Spectrometer (XRF) method. Chemical analyses contributed to determination depositional environments and origin sediments. Albian sediments deposited in an environment proximal continental characterize MS1 mega-sequence. In contrast, MS2 mega-sequence (Cenomanian Maastrichtian) was a s...

Abundant and clearly exposed relationships between structures and syntectonic sedimentary rocks in the southern Pyrenees make this area particularly suitable for detailed studies of the sequential development of a collisional orogenic belt. During the Pyrenean orogeny, major shortening occurred in the eastern Pyrenees in Eocene and early Oligocene times. Unto now, individual tectonic and deposi...

ABSTRACT Sixty-two 14 C dates are analyzed in combination with a recently established local floating tree-ring sequence for the Early Neolithic site of La Draga (Banyoles, northeast Iberian Peninsula). Archaeological data, radiometric and dendrochronological dates, as well sedimentary micro-stratigraphical information used to build Bayesian chronological model, using ChronoModel 2.0 OxCal 4.4 c...

Interpretation of subsurface geology is greatly enhanced by 3-D seismic data, and this accounts for its ubiquity in today’s search for hydrocarbons. Seismic interpretation has two fundamental disciplines at its core: seismic geomorphology and seismic stratigraphy. Plan views allow the explorationist to apply principles of geomorphology, based on analogies with modern sedimentary systems, to int...

Acoustic backscatter contrast in depositional sediments under salmon farm cages in the Bay of Fundy, Canada, was correlated with localized changes in (unknown) sediment geotechnical properties, as indicated by 4 independent measures of organic enrichment. Sediment total sulfides and redox potentials, enzyme hydrolyzable amino acids, sediment profile imaging and macrofaunal samples, taken at mid...

My research program focuses on identifying and quantifying sediment erosion, transport, and deposition processes on the continental shelf through state of the art observational techniques in both fine grained and sandy environments. In sandy environments, my goal is to understand the detailed interactions and feedbacks between hydrodynamics, bedforms, and the resulting sand transport. In fine-g...
