Thick carbonate rocks were developed in the depression of the Tarim craton during the Cambrian-Middle Ordovician periods. The compressional tectonic movement during the Middle Caledonian-Hercynian created the paleouplifts, which became the base for the paleokarst in the Ordovician carbonate rocks. Based on the large quantity of seismic, drilling, and geological outcrop data, this study analyzed...

Karstification is adopted to develop a new synthetic strategy for single-crystalline WO(3) octahedra bound with {111} facets from irregular-shaped commercial WO(3) particles.

Five karstification phases are recognized and analysed in the Mesozoic carbonate sequences of the External and Internal Subbetic (Betic Cordilleras, southern Spain). These phases are related to important stratigraphic discontinuities in the following ages: (1) Intra-Carixian, (2) Early–Middle Jurassic boundary, (3) late Bathonian–early Callovian, (4) Intra-Kimmeridgian, and (6) late Albian. The...

A geothermal power plant projected in Unterhaching, south of Munich/Germany, will generate 3.36 MW of electrical power. Two boreholes (doublet) have developed the karstified Malm at a depth of approx. 3000 m. Available seismic profiles were reprocessed with the aim of interpreting the facies and thus the degree of karstification within the Malm. The most prospective areas are, beside fault zone...

Karst reservoir has great hydrocarbon potential, however karst prediction is inhibited by the strong lateral and vertical heterogeneity of karstification which in turn results recognition difficulty when geological geophysical methods are used isolation. Combined methods, including core observation, thin section analysis, well log interpretation, seismic attributes inversion applied to understa...

The karst of the horsts Bakony Region belonging to horst types different development is described. Horsts elevated summit position are characterised by most widespread and diverse karstification (with covered karst, cave-ins shafts). Cryptopeneplains affect position, but features also occur in their areas. On threshold surfaces marginal hypogene branches regional flow systems influenced spring ...

Abstract Univariate and bivariate spectral analyses were applied to the study of two karstic systems in the Central Apennines (Italy). The analyses allowed the characterization of the transformations between the input rainfall and the output discharge. Although the development of the karstification is very different, the two aquifers show very similar behaviour. Both systems present very high m...

the primary objective of the current study is to produce karstification potentiality maps in northeast of khuzestan province, iran, using both fuzzy logic and ahp models as an additional tool in hydrogeological research. geographic information systems (gis) and remote sensing (rs) are used to create two maps depicting the development of the karstification, consisting of five classes, showing th...
