A sedimentary sequence covering the entire last glacial cycle (period between Terminations I and II) outcrops along south-eastern coast of Formentera Island. detailed geomorphological, geological sedimentological study, supported by geochemical, soil soil-morphology analyses, magnetic susceptibility , phytolite content luminescence dating (TL, OSL) allowed to reconstruct environmental evolution...

Offshore freshened groundwater (OFG) is with a salinity below that of seawater stored in sub-seafloor sediments and rocks. OFG has been proposed as an alternative solution to relieve water scarcity coastal regions enhance oil recovery. Although documented most continental margins, we still have poor understanding the extent flow characteristics systems, their evolution through time. In view gen...

The continental shelf of Northwest Australia hosts an extensive tropical carbonate ramp that forms important template for the interpretation similar systems in sedimentary record. Yet, little is known about its development from middle to late Quaternary, a period high frequency glacioeustatic changes sea-level and climate. This research describes core seismic-reflection data mid-ramp outer tran...

The Pliensbachian/Toarcian boundary (Pl/To) event precedes by ca. 1 Myr the onset of Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event. It corresponds to a second order mass extinction associated with an outstanding collapse shallow marine ecosystems at global scale. Yet, our knowledge about its exact driver(s) and unfolding is relatively ambiguous due numerous hiatuses present in sedimentary record during this cr...

Incised valley fills are complex as they correspond to multiple sea-level cycles which makes interpretation and correlation of stratigraphic surfaces fraught with uncertainty. Despite numerous studies the stratigraphy incised fills, few have focused on extensive core coverage linked high fidelity dating in a macro-tidal, tide-dominated setting. For this study nineteen sediment cores were drille...

This research focuses on studying the Surma Group sediments with an integrated approach of using wireline logs and 2D seismic data from Sylhet structure outcrop analogy Zaflong-Tamabil-Jaintiapur area to explain geological evolution in context sequence stratigraphic framework its implications identify hidden potential hydrocarbon traps that remains overlooked. The 'SYL-07' well divided encounte...

Abstract Sequence stratigraphy provides a unifying framework for integrating diverse observations to interpret sedimentary basin evolution; however, key time assumptions about stratigraphic elements spanning hundreds of kilometers are rarely quantified. We integrate new detrital zircon U-Pb (DZ) dates from 28 samples with seismic mapping establish chronostratigraphic across 800 km and ~20 m.y. ...

Integrated organic petrographic and geochemical analyses were made on organic-rich marine carbonate mixed clastic-carbonate rocks of Middle–Late Jurassic Early Cretaceous age from the Shushan Basin, Egypt to evaluate their hydrocarbon potential. Analyses allowed identification depositional settings, paleoclimate, three third order genetic stratigraphic sequences (SQ) with deposits assigned high...

Tributary rivers can contribute significantly to alluvial-plain construction by supplying large volumes of clastic material. Their relation the main axial river strongly influences sediment deposition and preservation. The Po Plain is fed River a dense network transverse tributaries draining nearby Alpine Apennine chains. Stratigraphic, sedimentological, petrographic geochemical analyses on 38 ...
