Automatic Extraction of Offshore Platforms in Single SAR Images Based on a Dual-Step-Modified Model

Sensors, 2019
The quantity and location of offshore platforms are of great significance for marine oil spill monitoring and offshore oil-gas development. In the past, multiphase medium- and low-resolution optical or radar images have been used to remove the ...

Horizontal mantle flow controls subduction dynamics [PDF]

, 2017
It is generally accepted that subduction is driven by downgoing-plate negative buoyancy. Yet plate age –the main control on buoyancy– exhibits little correlation with most of the present-day subduction velocities and slab dips. “West”-directed subduction

Coevolution of diagenetic fronts and fluid-fracture pathways

Scientific Reports, 2022
Diagenetic boundaries are paleo-reaction fronts, which have the potential to archive the termination of metasomatic processes in sedimentary rocks. They have not been extensively studied, perhaps because they appear simple in outcrop.

Discriminating cool-water from warm-water carbonates and their diagenetic environments using element geochemistry: the Oligocene Tikorangi Formation (Taranaki Basin) and the dolomite effect [PDF]

, 2004
Fields portrayed within bivariate element plots have been used to distinguish between carbonates formed in warm- (tropical) water and cool- (temperate) water depositional settings.

Lithospheric controls on melt production during continental breakup at slow rates of extension: Application to the North Atlantic

, 2009
Rifted margins form from extension and breakup of the continentallithosphere. If this extension is coeval with a region of hotter lithosphere,then it is generally assumed that a volcanic margin would follow.

Multiphase dolomitization of deeply buried Cambrian petroleum reservoirs, Tarim Basin, north‐west China

Sedimentology, 2016
AbstractCambrian dolostone reservoirs in the Tarim Basin, China, have significant potential for future discoveries of petroleum, although exploration and production planning is hampered by limited understanding of the occurrence and distribution of dolomite in such ancient rocks buried to nearly 8 km.

Fault Characteristics and Reservoir Potential of Mesozoic Basins in the Southern East China Sea

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
The East China Sea Basin (ECSB) is an integral part of the Western Pacific tectonic system. Its development is linked to the Kula–Pacific Plate and the formation and expansion of the Philippine Sea Basin.

Structural framework and evolution of the Golfo San Jorge Basin: a synthesis

Latin American Journal of Sedimentology and Basin Analysis
The Golfo San Jorge Basin evolved through a complex multiphase structural history from the Middle Jurassic to the Neogene. Its stratigraphic record captures key tectonic events in central extra-Andean Patagonia during Gondwana fragmentation and the ...

Oblique reactivation of lithosphere-scale lineaments controls rift physiography – the upper-crustal expression of the Sorgenfrei–Tornquist Zone, offshore southern Norway [PDF]

Solid Earth, 2018
Pre-existing structures within sub-crustal lithosphere may localise stresses during subsequent tectonic events, resulting in complex fault systems at upper-crustal levels.

Multiphase Flow Simulation of ITTC Standard Cavitator for Underwater Radiated Noise Prediction

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
This work focuses on the main issues related to noise measurements in cavitation tunnels. The scope of the paper is to twofold: to obtain a better understanding on the main phenomena underlying experiments and to define consistent cavitation tunnel ...
