Morphometric analysis of cirques in central Siberia's western Putorana Plateau: a proxy for palaeoclimate

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
A detailed morphometric analysis of 200 cirques across the western Putorana Plateau, central Siberia, was undertaken to investigate cirque development, reconstruct glaciers and infer palaeoclimatic conditions. Cirques are amphitheatre‐shaped landforms with mean length and widths of 936 and 1000 m, respectively, indicating a mature glacial landscape ...

Evaluation of the Rb/Sr ratio as an indicator of chemical weathering: a case study from five sedimentary sections in Northeast China

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Chemical weathering plays a pivotal role in the Earth's surface material cycle and global climate regulation. It not only facilitates the reconstruction of palaeoclimate characteristics but also provides essential insights into Earth's evolutionary history.

New evidence for the Hirnantian (Upper Ordovician) in Belgium? An integrated isotopical, biostratigraphic and sedimentologic approach

open access: yesCarnets de Géologie, 2005
The Hirnantian is an important time in Earth history as it includes one of the major episodes of continental glaciation and marine mass extinction (e.g. Brenchley et alii, 1994).

Modern pollen rain of an upland area: implications of pollen dispersal for interpreting palaeoenvironmental records

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
A long‐term perspective on landscape evolution is critical for understanding past land‐use activity, land cover–climate feedbacks and, notably, for establishing a factual basis for conservation. Fossil pollen analysis provides a means to achieve this. Biases pertaining to pollen productivity, pollination processes and basin size, however, mean there is

Evolution, Routing and Reservoir Characteristics of Submarine Channels in a Structurally Deforming Slope Setting: Deep‐Water Joint Development Zone of Nigeria and São Tomé and Príncipe

open access: yesJournal of Petroleum Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Deep‐water slope channels and associated facies are a major part of clastic sediment dispersal system extending from the shelf‐edge to the abyssal plain. The toe‐thrust area of the deep‐water Niger Delta enables the analysis of these channels and their interaction with evolving fault‐controlled sea‐floor topography to be determined ...

Source of Eolian Facies using Geomorphological and Sedimen Tological Methods (Case Study: Ab-Barik Watershed of Bam in Kerman)

open access: yesعلوم آب و خاک, 2017
The Ab-Barik watershed in Bam is a part of Lut desert basin. It is like all other desert areas which has erosion problems caused by wind erosion, sand and soil storms. The result of these sand storms appears as continuous and isolated sand hills. In this

Feldspar Albitization With Implications for Reservoir Quality Evolution of Eocene Turbidite Sandstones in Offshore Espírito Santo Basin, Eastern Brazil

open access: yesJournal of Petroleum Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The diagenetic albitization of plagioclase and K‐feldspar grains is a transformative process that significantly alters sandstone's detrital composition and formation water chemistry, impacting reservoir quality. In this study, Eocene turbidite sandstones from the offshore Espírito Santo Basin, Brazil, were investigated to elucidate the role of

Processes and Patterns of Dolomite Precipitation in Aptian Pre‐Salt Deposits of Santos Basin, Brazil

open access: yesJournal of Petroleum Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Aptian pre‐salt lacustrine carbonates represent the most significant oil exploration target along the South Atlantic margin. Dolomitization of the Santos Basin Barra Velha Formation (BVF) is critical for reservoir quality, yet its origin, patterns, and evolution remain poorly understood.

Explainable Intelligent Framework for Reliable Drilling Rate Prediction and Feature Selection in Complex Sedimentary Formations

open access: yesJournal of Petroleum Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accurate prediction of the drilling rate of penetration (ROP) is crucial to optimizing drilling performance, wellbore stability, enhancing operational efficiency, and reducing the overall cost of hydrocarbon exploration. This study focused on evaluating and comparing different machine learning models for ROP prediction and identifying the most
