Complexity penalized hydraulic fracture localization and moment tensor estimation under limited model information [PDF]
, 2013 In this paper we present a novel technique for micro-seismic localization using a group sparse penalization that is robust to the focal mechanism of the source and requires only a velocity model of the stratigraphy rather than a full Green's function model of the earth's response. In this technique we construct a set of perfect delta detector responses,

An improved mapping of ice layer undulations for the IceCube Neutrino Observatory [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 A precise understanding of the optical properties of the instrumented Antarctic ice sheet is crucial to the performance of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, a cubic-kilometer Cherenkov array of 5,160 digital optical modules (DOMs) deployed in the deep ice below the geographic South Pole.

Evolution of major sedimentary mounds on Mars [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research - Planets, 121, 2282, 2017 We present a new database of $>$300 layer-orientations from sedimentary mounds on Mars. These layer orientations, together with draped landslides, and draping of rocks over differentially-eroded paleo-domes, indicate that for the stratigraphically-uppermost $\sim$1 km, the mounds formed by the accretion of draping strata in a mound-shape.

The Depositional Record, EarlyView.This volume examines tidal sedimentary systems through 11 articles, spanning ancient and modern tidalites, technological advances and implications for human management. Highlighting contributions from Tidalites 2022 and beyond, it underscores tidalites' significance in sedimentology, environmental forecasting and energy transition, reflecting decades ...

Emendation of the Grivska formation in its type area (Dinaridic Ophiolite Belt, SW Serbia) [PDF]
Geološki Anali Balkanskoga Poluostrva, 2018 Age, microfacies and depositional realm of the Grivska Formation is controversially discussed due to the fact that detailed investigations are missing. Based on reinvestigations of the type locality of the Grivska Formation and in adjacent areas,

Dynamic Stratigraphy: An Introduction to Sedimentation and Stratigraphy
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1985 This text is an expanded and updated edition of the original 1974 volume. The prose is aimed at an undergraduate readership and is clear and concise. The subtitle of the book, however, gives a better idea of its contents than does the main title, as a significant proportion of the text is devoted to the development and description of sedimentation ...

The Depositional Record, EarlyView.The Joulters ooid sandbody of northern Great Bahama Bank is a vast expanse of muddy ooid sands partly rimmed by clean ooid sands and formed into a relatively thick layer of significant extent. Knowledge of the development of depositional and diagenetic patterns in the Joulters example has forwarded our general understanding of carbonate sedimentology ...

Water pathways and ancient lakes: Flowing towards new models to unravel the past
The Depositional Record, EarlyView.Abstract Significant progress has been made in understanding lake basin evolution through climatic and tectonic changes using sedimentology, sequence stratigraphy, geochemistry, hydrology and watershed characteristics to interpret three main lake basin types: overfilled, balanced‐fill and underfilled, including fluvio‐lacustrine systems.

Dynamic and Isotopic Evolution of Ice Reservoirs on Mars [PDF]
, 2019 The layered polar caps of Mars have long been thought to be related to variations in orbit and axial tilt. We dynamically link Mars's past climate variations with the stratigraphy and isotopic composition of its ice by modeling the exchange of H2O and HDO among three reservoirs.
