Benthic invertebrates of a modern carbonate ramp: a preliminary survey

Journal of Paleontology, 1994
A preliminary survey of benthic invertebrates off central west Florida provides documentation of modern epifaunal communities on a low-gradient carbonate slope. Three large-scale biofacies occur in soft-sediment carbonate environments between 200 and 2,000 m: an Echinoderm biofacies (200–550 m) dominated by a diverse assemblage of echinoderms ...

Cretaceous Tide-Dominated Carbonate Ramp: Comparison of Reservoir Heterogeneity in Tide- Versus Wave-Dominated Carbonate Ramp Systems: ABSTRACT

AAPG Bulletin, 1995
Cretaceous (upper Albian) carbonate ramp strata, Pecos River Canyon, Texas, provide a uniquely continuous exposure of a tide-dominated ramp reservoir analog. The continuous 100-km shelf-to-basin outcrop begins in inner ramp mud-rich facies that record both high-frequency (20-100 ky) and intermediate frequency (>200 ky) cyclicity.

A power system scheduling model with carbon intensity and ramping capacity constraints

Operational Research, 2018
The integration of European electricity markets aims at market coupling among interconnected power systems and the evolution of environmentally friendly technologies. This process is anticipated to utilize more efficiently the flexible generation and interconnections transmission capacity and provide environmental and economic benefits to final ...

Mud buildups on a Middle Devonian carbonate ramp (Algerian Sahara)

Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 1998
Abstract During sea-level highstand in late Mid-Devonian time, a carbonate ramp was established on the vast shelf of the Northwest African Craton, in the Ahnet and Mouydir Basins of southern Algeria. The ramp was at least 400 km wide and 700 km long and sloped, in front of a local shoal of rugose-tabulate-stromatoporoid dominated biostromes ...

Upwelling, Thermoclines and Wave-Sweeping on an Equatorial Carbonate Ramp

1997
Abstract: The Lower Carboniferous Mount Head, Livingstone and Turner Valley Formations of southwest Canada accumulated on a westward- deepening carbonate ramp on the western margin of Pangea. The ramp developed near the equator in the Mount Head Embayment: a broad, basement-controlled, regional downwarp and oceanic bight.

3D Stochastic Stratigraphic Well Correlation of Carbonate Ramp Systems

IPTC 2009: International Petroleum Technology Conference, 2009
This reference is for an abstract only. A full paper was not submitted for this conference. 1) Introduction In the static and dynamic workflow of carbonate reservoirs, stratigraphic correlation of well data is one of the first and most influent steps.

Anatomy of a cyclically packaged Mesoproterozoic carbonate ramp in northern Canada

Sedimentary Geology, 2001
Abstract Carbonates in the upper member of the Mesoproterozoic Victor Bay Formation are dominated by lime mud and packaged in cycles of 20–50 m. These thicknesses exceed those of classic shallowing-upward cycles by almost a factor of 10. Stratigraphic and sedimentological evidence suggests high-amplitude, high-frequency glacio-eustatic cyclicity, and

A Cool-Water Carbonate Ramp with Bryozoan Mounds

1997
Abstract: Late Cretaceous-Danian cool-water carbonate deposition in northwest Europe lasted for more than 35 my and covered an area of about 5,250,000 km2 with east-west and north-south extents of at least 3,500 km and about 1,500 km, respectively. Maximum thicknesses of the succession amount to more than 2 km. The region was situated

Short Paper: A standardized model for Tethyan Tertiary carbonate ramps

Journal of the Geological Society, 1989
Low latitude carbonates in massive and clinoform bedded sheets, termed ramps, occur throughout the Tertiary Tethyan realm, and are characterized by recurring biofacies usually including large foraminifera, rhodolithic algae, coralgal patch-reef and gastropod dominated sequences.
