Tectonostratigraphic Evolution of the Barbados Accretionary Prism and the Tobago Basin: Implications for Petroleum Systems [PDF]
Master's thesis in Petroleum geosciences engineeringThe Barbados accretionary prism is the only commercially hydrocarbon producing prism in the world. However, the offshore region is still underexplored and only one well has been drilled.

Abstract The interaction between the Tethyan and Paleo‐Pacific subduction systems in Southeast Asia since the Paleozoic is still poorly understood. Hainan Island and Borneo, located near the junction of the Tethyan and Paleo‐Pacific domains, provide the critical regions for understanding the dynamic processes and interaction between the two tectonic ...

Abstract The accretion of allochthonous provinces, derived from oceanic plates, has traditionally been considered an important contributor to continental growth. However, increasing evidence shows that some oceanic terranes (e.g., island arcs) are not “exotic,” as suggested by the presence of continental‐derived sedimentary provenance.

Abstract Exhumed metamorphic rocks yield critical insights into the mechanical, chemical, and thermal structure of the plate interface that can be used to infer exhumation pathways and their evolution throughout a subduction zone's lifetime. Metamorphosed oceanic rocks often record exhumation and underplating over relatively punctuated time periods ...

Loess Studies in Aotearoa New Zealand
Loess in Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) has been studied since its first documented recognition (on Banks Peninsula) in 1878 by Julius von Haast. A decade later, John Hardcastle revealed that southern ANZ loess was both glacial in origin and contained signals of past climates.

Amphibolites included in the metapelitic sequence and as xenoliths in intrusive magmatic rocks outcropping in the southern sector of the Aluminé Igneous-Metamorphic Complex (AIMC), Neuquén, Argentina, are studied in detail in order to determine their ...

The evolution of pore fluid pressure ( Pf$P_{\mathrm{f}}$) in the most seaward portion of a subduction accretionary prism plays an essential role in the cycle of tsunamigenic earthquakes. Based on recent geophysical observations, here we propose a testable conceptual model for this evolution for northern Cascadia offshore of Washington.
