The occurrence of power law relationships in the spatial distribution of sedimentary lithotopes has been identified in both modern and ancient carbonate depositional bodies. In this study, facies patterns and their spatial relationships are investigated quantitatively in an Arabian Gulf shallow subtidal carbonate ramp setting, using a synergy of IKONOS satellite imagery and vessel-based acousti...

Abstract Understanding the fracture patterns of hydrocarbon reservoirs is vital in Zagros area southwest Iran as they are strongly affected by collision Arabian and Iranian plates. It essential to evaluate both primary secondary (fracture) porosity permeability understand fluid dynamics reservoirs. In this study, we adopted an integrated workflow assess influence various sets on heterogeneous c...

Bulk carbon and oxygen stable isotopes of ancient shallow-marine carbonates can record the effects multiple palaeoenvironmental factors, but also imprint several post-depositional processes, which may alter original marine isotopic composition. In this study, isotope analyses were performed on bulk carbonate, bivalve calcitic-shell (Trichites) calcite vein samples from two stratigraphic section...

The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of ramp spacing on the traffic flow characteristics on the Atlanta Freeway System and city streets influenced by the freeway. Timelapse photography was used to collect data at four study locations on the freeway. Speed and delay studies were also made on the freeway and surface streets during ramp closure periods and during normal operati...

The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM, ~56 Ma) was one of the major global deep-time hyperthermal events past. Studies shallow-marine PETM records are crucial to understand continental hydrological response current warming. This study presents first detailed documentation in Xigaze forearc basin located along northern active margin eastern Tethys Ocean, and illustrates associated environme...
