UT Permian Basin Geosciences’ Post

Australia leads the world in Earth Science research, #criticalmetals for the energy transition and the resources all society uses every day. So I hope we can secure the “Olympics” of geoscience by hosting this event. Sustainable Minerals Institute

MTSU Geosciences students stand atop the Flims landslide, largest in the Alps, and view other landslide scars in the Ruinalta (Rhine Gorge) near Flims, Switzerland.

It's a pleasure to share that mine and John Howell new paper has been published in the Journal of The Geological Society . https://lnkd.in/dvH4Wyhr That's the 3rd and last one of my PhD thesis and certainly the one which I enjoyed the most. This paper explores the stratigraphic expression and apparent absence of rocky shorelines in the subsurface of the North Sea's. Hopefully this paper will inspire future work and reassesment of some basic concepts such as the role of coastal cliffs as sediment sources and the sedimentological and palaeogeographical implications of thin, unconformity bounded basal conglomerate deposits, sometimes interpreted simply as transgressive lags, overlooking an important part of marine basins sedimentary record.

Another world-class outcrop explored by our bachelor students Department of Earth Sciences - UNIGE with Sébastien Castelltort, Lucas Vimpere and Marine Prieur. At the top of the Esclangon panorama near Digne-les-Bains, facing the scenic "Velodrome", we discussed the complex interplay of tectonic and sedimentological processes involved in the growth of the Alps, including perspectives from applied geology with Arnaud Le Bec.

Dear Colleagues, We are writing to invite you to kindly submit an abstract to our session 56761 “T105: Understanding Temporal Dynamics in Hydrogeochemistry and Sedimentary Processes in Estuarine Environments” at the 2024 GSA Connects in Anaheim CA. The focus of our session ties into the GSA Connects 2024 themes of “Water in Our Changing World” and “Life Along an Active Margin” We believe your work in estuarine environments will greatly enhance the quality of our session geared towards better understanding the complexities of estuarine environments. We are hoping to put together presentations exploring water chemistry and sediments dynamics, as well as their temporal changes in estuaries and adjoining environments. Estuarine environments represent dynamic interfaces where freshwater and marine systems converge, making them highly susceptible to temporal variations in hydrogeochemistry and sedimentary processes. This proposed session aims to provide a dedicated platform for researchers and scientists to delve into the temporal dynamics within estuarine environments. By focusing on hydrogeochemistry and sedimentary processes over time, we seek to enhance our understanding of the complex interplay between natural and anthropogenic factors shaping estuarine ecosystems. While lots of research have been conducted on specific aspects of estuarine environments, there still exists a gap in fully understanding how water chemistry evolves over different timescales. Sedimentary deposits in these estuarine environments also hold the potential of revealing historical changes in the sediment inputs. The changes in these sediment inputs can offer insights into the changing health of the ecosystem in these estuarine environments.

Join us on a thrilling exploration of the San Andreas Fault! Discover the geology and unique features of this famous fault line in California. The San Andreas Fault is a sliding boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, slicing California in two. The fault runs from Cape Mendocino to the Mexican border, with areas to the east on the North American Plate and areas to the west on the Pacific Plate. It is a transform fault, with the plates moving past each other slowly at a couple of inches a year. The fault is visible in some areas as scarps and pressure ridges, while in others it is covered with alluvium or brush. The different rocks on either side of the fault, some originating from great distances, are a hallmark of the San Andreas Fault. Despite myths and legends, such as California sliding into the sea, the San Andreas Fault is the world's most famous fault and is accessible for exploration and study. Discover the fascinating world of the San Andreas Fault, where two tectonic plates shape California's landscape.

As Lecture 4 unfolds within the ongoing Geoscience series, Mr. Azam Malik tenaciously guides the emerging talent at PEL, ensuring not only the refinement of their existing skills but also arming them with essential knowledge to excel in the industry. In this session, Mr. Azam methodically dissects depositional environments, revealing the intricacies of terrestrial settings. The exploration extends from the nuanced formation processes of Oxbow Lakes to the dynamic forces governing Sandstorms. This lecture delves into technical intricacies, furnishing a comprehensive understanding of the intricate realm of Siliciclastic Reservoirs GeoScience. #PEL #PetroleumExploration ##traininganddevelopment
