Fracture orientations in Kansas and relations to mountain building
(Wichita State University, 2017-04-28)In efforts to discern the space-time relationships between fracture formation [low-strain brittle deformation in the Earth's upper crust] and other geologic structures [folds and faults] in the mid-Continent region, field ... -
Trace metal analysis of Little Arkansas River as urbanization increases nearing Wichita, KS
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2014-04-25)The Little Arkansas River originates in areas of high agriculture use and flows to areas of increasing population and urbanization. As the urbanization increases especially between Valley Center KS and Wichita KS the health ... -
Depositional Patterns and Stratigraphic Relationships in a Sag Basin: Middle Jurassic Gypsum Spring, Piper and Sundance Formations, NW Wyoming
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2011-05-04)The Middle Jurassic Gypsum Spring, Piper and Sundance Formations of Wyoming are marine and evaporite deposits formed in a shallow epeiric sea east of an overthrust belt that existed near the western margin of North America. ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Cave-Fill Deposits in Pre-Atokan Paleocaves in the Mississippian (Osagean) Burlington-Keokuk Limestone in Southwestern Missouri
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2011-05-04)Two siliciclastic-filled (sandstone and shale) paleocaves in the Mississippian (Osagean) Burlington-Keokuk Limestone are exposed in roadcuts in Dade County, Missouri. These caves formed in pre-Atokan time as suggested by ... -
Nature and origins of a stratigraphic boundary in a continental setting, southern Bogda Mountains, NW China
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2010-04-23)A nonmarine stratigraphic boundary where major facies shifts occur indicates drastic changes in environmental conditions, but may have highly variable magnitude of facies shifts to rapid lateral facies changes, common ... -
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. ... -
Depositional and structural history of the Sedgwick basin, South Central Kansas in relation to petroleum entrapment
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2009-05-01)The Sedgwick Basin is an important hydrocarbon producing area in Kansas. Subsurface structural and isopach (thickness) maps and cross-sections illustrate the depositional and tectonic history of the area. It has undergone ... -
The study of the effect of long term water cover on the mill tailings of the Silver Lake Mill # 1, near Silverton, Colorado.
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2009-05-01)Mining and milling of metals were the primary industries in the study area for most of the late 1800's into theearly 1900's. Wastes from the mining and milling processes are abundant in the area and present significant ... -
Facies characterization and mechanism of termination of a tertiary carbonate platform: Rajamandala Fm., West Java
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2009-05-01)The objective is to better understand an Oligocene coral reef ecosystem, exposed in SW Java as a scenic ridge of karst towers. Extensive mining threatens to destroy the spectacular scenery and important geological history. ... -
Paleoenvironmental interpretation of the bandera shale formation, marmaton group, desmoinesian stage, middle Pennsylvanian in southeastern Kansas.
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2009-05-01)In southeastern Kansas and northeastern Oklahoma the Bandera Shale Formation (BSF) (Middle Pennsylvanian) crops out from Linn to Labette Counties in Kansas and in Nowata County, Oklahoma in units ranging from 12 cm to 20 ... -
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. ... -
