This book was released on 1985 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zones of above average subsurface temperatures have been noted in certain areas of the Gulf Coast basin. Their cause has often been credited to geopressure, which presumably traps heat because of higher porosity and consequently lower thermal conductivity. I determined the temperature distribution in a portion of South Texas by collecting and analyzing over 1600 bottom-hole temperature measurements. The analysis included correcting the temperatures with the Kehle correction scheme, constructing isothermal surfaces by both interpolating and extrapolating the data, and Kriging the result. Temperature profiles were plotted for twelve subregions of the study area. The greatest temperature anomalies are associated with the Tertiary Wilcox growth fault zone, and the simple presence of geopressure is insufficient to account for the temperature anomaly. Numerical modeling indicates that growth faults act as zones for concentrated vertical flow. The upwelling of deep basinal fluids advects heat and causes the high temperatures observed in the growth fault zone. The model, by Smith (1983), is two-dimensional, finite element, steady state, and couples heat and fluid transport. It indicates that the source of these fluids is deep, perhaps over 20,000 feet (6096 m) below the surface. The modeling results also suggest that an unidentified region of high thermal and hydraulic conductivity could exist coastward of the Wilcox faults at a depth of about 15,000-20,000 feet (4572-6096m).

Download or read book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences written by Wade H. Shafer and published by Springer. This book was released on 1990-09-30 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Oata Analysis and Synthesis (CINOAS) * at Purdue. University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 33 (thesis year 1988) a total of 13,273 theses titles from 23 Canadian and 1 85 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 33 reports theses submitted in 1988, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.
Download or read book Diagenesis II written by G.V. Chilingarian and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1988-12-01 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diagenesis is a highly developed, interdisciplinary field of study. It is reciprocal in that it borrows from numerous scientific or technological specialities and then, in turn, repays them with useful results. Too often, however, the information gained and concepts developed remain unintegrated instead of being utilized quickly by several related earth-science fraternities. This volume, the second of a multi-volume work, attempts to bring together such information, thereby assisting the individual and the research group in keeping up with the data explosion. There is no end in sight to diagenetic research because of its wide practical and intellectual appeals. Consequently, periodic reviews, such as presented in this volume, are greatly needed.

Download or read book Climate Change and Groundwater written by Walter Dragoni and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2008 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a general consensus that for the next few decades at least, the Earth will continue its warming. This will inevitably bring about serious environmental problems. For human society, the most severe will be those related to alterations of the hydrological cycle, which is already heavily influenced by human activities. Climate change will directly affect groundwater recharge, groundwater quality and the freshwater-seawater interface. The variations of groundwater storage inevitably entail a variety of geomorphological and engineering effects. In the areas where water resources are likely to diminish, groundwater will be one of the main solutions to prevent drought. In spite of its paramount importance, the issue of 'Climate Change and Groundwater' has been neglected. This volume presents some of the current understanding of the topic.
