Abstract The Zagros orogen, formed by the collision of Arabian and Eurasian continental margins, represents one largest richest oil gas provinces in world. fold-thrust belt records convergence along Neotethys suture zone. By coupling field observations, sandstone modal analysis, U-Pb zircon dating, Hf isotopic data from Upper Cretaceous to Pliocene sedimentary succession Neyriz region, this pap...

relief wells are used extensively to relieve excess hydrostatic pressure in pervious foundation strata overlain by impervious top strata, conditions which often exist landward of levees and downstream of dams and hydraulic structures. placing well outlets in below-surface trenches or collector pipes helps dry up seepage areas downstream of levees and dams. relief wells are often used in combina...

Introduction: The Kentland impact structure located in northwestern Indiana (N 40° 45’ W 87° 24’) represents the remains of an ~13km diameter complex crater. Ordovician-Devonian strata have been uplifted ~600 m to the surface following impact and subsequently exposed by local quarrying operations. Large megablocks of carbonates, sandstones, and shales have been uplifted along thrust faults to c...

Feed accounts for 60 to 70% of broiler production costs . Thus, improvement in feed efficiency is needed. Ileal digestibility (ID) and total-tract amino acid (AA) utilization are the parameter used to evaluate feed ingredients . However, ID of AA can be affected, for example, by gut inflammation as a result of a coccidial vaccine challenge. Adedokun et al. (2014) showed significantly high ileal...

Studies of past sea-level markers are commonly used to unveil the tectonic history and seismic behavior of subduction zones. We present new evidence on vertical motions of the Hellenic subduction zone as resulting from a suite of Late Pleistocene - Holocene shorelines in western Crete (Greece). Shoreline ages obtained by AMS radiocarbon dating of seashells, together with the reappraisal of shor...

This study focuses on the derivation of a semi-analytical approach for the evaluation of surface uplift and caprock deflection induced by underground injection of CO2. The adopted methodology includes the development of amathematical model that incorporates the deformable behaviour of the storage reservoir and the flow of two immiscible fluids (CO2 and brine) within the aquifer while the surfac...

[1] We image the crustal architecture of the Musgrave Province with petrophysically constrained forward models of new potential field data. These models image divergent shallow-dipping crustal scale thrusts that, at depth, link with an axial zone defined by steeper, lithospheric scale transpressional shear zones. They also show that to permit a near-surface density distribution that is consiste...
