A reconstruction of the Eurekan Orogeny incorporating deformation constraints
(American Geophysical Union, 2017-02)The Eurekan Orogeny records Paleogene convergence between Greenland and the Canadian Arctic. The complexity of the region, well represented by the disputed magnitude of Cenozoic sinistral displacement of Greenland relative ... -
Reservoir characterization of microbial reef reservoirs at Little Cedar Creek Field, Conecuh County, Alabama
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2008-04-25)Little Cedar Creek Field (LCCF) in Conecuh County, Alabama is the largest Smackover field discovered in the northern U.S. Gulf Coast in the last three decades. It is now the most productive field in the State of Alabama. ... -
Responses to air temperature and soil moisture of growth of four dominant species on sand dunes of central Inner Mongolia
(Springer Verlag, 2008-06)Little attention has been paid to how four dominant shrub species distributed in semi-arid areas respond to the combined effects of temperature and water supply. Seedlings of four species were grown in a glasshouse for ... -
Rift basin-fill architecture of fluvial-lacustrine Lower Permian Lucaogou and Hongyanchi low-order cycles, Bogda mountains, NW China
(Wichita State University, 2012-07)Rapid lateral facies and thickness changes, autogenic processes, and irregular topography of nonmarine rift basins challenge the application of traditional marine sequence stratigraphic techniques. Stratigraphic architecture ... -
Rift Basin-Fill Architecture of Fluvial-Lacustrine Lower Permian Lucaogou and Hongyanchi Low-Order Cycles, NW China
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2011-05-04)Rapid lateral facies change, autogenic processes, and irregular topography of continental rift basins challenge the reconstruction of basin-fill architecture. A process-based approach, using interpreted climatic and tectonic ... -
S.E.L.E.N.E: System Engineered for Lunar Environment, Navigation, and Exploration
(Wichita State University, 2021-04-02)Augmented Reality (AR) display technologies utilize computer-generated virtualized content to enhance the observer's perception of the physical environment. This NASA SUITS (Spacesuit User Interface Technologies for Students) ... -
Sedidmentology and diagenesis of Mississippian (Kinderhookian and Osagean: Tournaisian and Visean) reefs in southwest Missouri, northwest Arkansas, and northeast Oklahoma
(Wichita State University, 2011-12)Carbonate buildups (reefs) are present in the Kinderhookian Compton and basal Osagean Pierson formations in SW Missouri and adjoining Arkansas and Oklahoma. Their depositional origin, biota, and diagenesis are key to ... -
Sedimentary features, occurrence, and cyclicity of microbialite facies in the Roubidoux and Jefferson City Formations of Missouri and Kansas
(American Association of Petroleum Geologists, 2013-11)Outcrop studies of sedimentary and stratigraphic features of microbial buildups are important in developing conceptual models for exploration of potential microbialite reservoirs. This study examines the occurrence and ... -
Sedimentology and Diagenesis of Mississippian (Kinderhookian and Osagean: Tournaisian and Visean) Reefs in Southwest Missouri, Northwest Arkansas, and Northeast Oklahoma
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2011-05-04)Reefs within the Kinderhookian Compton and basal Osagean Pierson formations are interpreted to have formed on aggradational to progradational distally-steepened ramps, respectively. Pierson reefs are mainly layered ... -
Sediments, facies tracts, and variations in sedimentation rates of holocene platform carbonate sediments and associated deposits, Northern Belize-Implications for "Representative" sedimentation rates
(Society for Sedimentary Geology, 2004-07)In stratigraphic analysis and simulation, sedimentation rates are typically assumed to be constant for meter-scale sedimentation units of similar lithology. The rates of Holocene, shallow-marine carbonate and associated ... -
Sensitivity of wheat growth to increased air temperature for different scenarios of ambient CO2 concentration and rainfall in Victoria, Australia - a simulation study
(Inter Research, 1991-12)A wheat growth model that includes the direct responses of canopy photosynthesis and transpiration to elevated CO2 and the response of crop growth to water stress has been developed and tested. Sensitivity analyses show ... -
Size-dependent reactivity of magnetite nanoparticles: a field-laboratory comparison
(American Chemical Society, 2014-10-07)Logistic challenges make direct comparisons between laboratory- and field-based investigations into the size-dependent reactivity of nanomaterials difficult. This investigation sought to compare the size-dependent reactivity ... -
Soil respiration in different agricultural and natural ecosystems in an arid region
(Public Library of Science, 2010-10)The variation of different ecosystems on the terrestrial carbon balance is predicted to be large. We investigated a typical arid region with widespread saline/alkaline soils, and evaluated soil respiration of different ... -

Soil TPH concentration estimation using vegetation indices in an oil polluted area of eastern China
(Public Library of Science, 2013-01-16)Assessing oil pollution using traditional field-based methods over large areas is difficult and expensive. Remote sensing technologies with good spatial and temporal coverage might provide an alternative for monitoring oil ... -
Sources of upper Permian sedimentary rocks in the Bogda Mountains, NW China
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2010-04-23)Both distant Tianshan suture zone and proximal local horsts are possible sources of Upper Permian sedimentary rocks exposed in the BogdaMountains. The Abundance of volcanic grains indicates the former was the main source. ... -
Stratigraphic relationships across the Triassic-Jurassic Boundary, Northwest Bighorn Basin; Park County, Wyoming
(Wichita State University, 2018-12)Early Mesozoic stratigraphy in the foreland Rocky Mountains of Wyoming records deposition in a variety of depositional environments and tectonic settings which have led to contrasting interpretations of the stratal ... -
Stratigraphic relationships across the Triassic-Jurassic boundary; Big Horn County, Wyoming
(Wichita State University, 2018-12)The stratigraphic relationships across the Triassic-Jurassic boundary have not been clearly defined due to poor biostratigraphic control. Establishing these relationships is important to develop an understanding of the ... -
