The Cretaceous Orogenic Cycles and Sedimentary Basins in Hokkaido

Late to Post-Orogenic Brasiliano-Pan-African Volcano-Sedimentary Basins in the Dom Feliciano Belt, Southernmost Brazil

Fast and Slow Compaction in Sedimentary Basins

A mathematical model of compaction in sedimentary basins is presented and analyzed. Compaction occurs when accumulating sediments compact under their own weight, expelling pore water in the process. If sedimentation is rapid or the permeability is low, then high pore pressures can result, a phenomenon which is of importance in oil drilling operations. Here we show that one-dimensional compactio...

Facies, sedimentary environments and sequence stratigraphy of Cretaceous deposits in the northwest of Azerbaijan, Iran

The Cretaceous deposits in Morakan, located in the northeast of Khoy, a town in western Azerbaijan province, Iran, are primarily made up of carbonate rocks. These deposits, which are of 717 meters thick, lie on the clastic facies of Jurassic and are covered with beneath the pelagic beds of the Upper Cretaceous. To investigate the facies, sedimentary environment and sequential stratigraphy of th...

Adaptive Resonance Theory Based Sedimentary Basins Identification

The objective of this paper is to present identification and recognition of Magneto-telluric data for sedimentary basins using Adaptive Resonance Theory (ART). Several sets of data consisting of 17 phases and 17 apparent resistivity values and their respective tag values are given. These sets of data are used for training the network, and other sets of data are used to test the network. The tes...

Experimental and Theoretical Study of Strata Formation in Sedimentary Basins

The long-term goals of our stratigraphy project are to obtain experimental evidence and to develop quantitative models of the formation of strata on continental margins. Experiments and analytical models can greatly contribute to better understand the relationships between variation in forcing functions such as sediment supply, sea-level changes and subsidence, and the resulting strata in depos...
