Book Synopsis Basin Analysis by : Philip A. Allen
Download or read book Basin Analysis written by Philip A. Allen. This book was released on 2013-05-28. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Basin Analysis is an up-to-date overview of the essential processes of the formation and evolution of sedimentary basins, and their implications for the development of hydrocarbon resources. The new edition features: A consideration of the fundamental physical state of the lithosphere. A discussion on the major types of lithospheric deformation relevant to basin development – stretching and flexure. A new chapter on the effects of mantle dynamics. Radically revised chapters on the basin-fill. A new chapter on the erosional engine for sediment delivery to basins, reflecting the massive and exciting advances in this area in the last decade. Expansion of the techniques used in approaching problems in basin analysis. Updated chapters on subsidence analysis and measurements of thermal maturity of organic and non-organic components of the basin-fill. New material on thermochronological and exposure dating tools. Inclusion of the important petroleum system concept in the updated section on the application to the petroleum play. Visit: www.blackwellpublishing.com/allen for practical exercises related to problems in Basin Analysis 2e. To run the programs you will need a copy of Matlab 6 or 7. An Instructor manual CD-ROM for this title is available. Please contact our Higher Education team at [email protected] for more information.

Book Synopsis Characterizing and Interpreting Sand-body Clustering in the Ferris Formation, Hanna Basin, Wyoming by : Elizabeth A. Hajek
Download or read book Characterizing and Interpreting Sand-body Clustering in the Ferris Formation, Hanna Basin, Wyoming written by Elizabeth A. Hajek. This book was released on 2009. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A primary goal of sedimentary geologists is to interpret past tectonic, climatic, and eustatic conditions from the stratigraphic record. It is typically assumed that deposits accumulated over timescales of 104-106 years dominantly record basin boundary conditions such as subsidence or sediment and water supply rates. Consequently stratigraphic changes in alluvial-basin fills are routinely interpreted as the result of past tectonic movements or changes in climate or sea level. Recent physical and numerical models have shown that sedimentary systems can exhibit self-organization on basin-filling time scales, suggesting that structured stratigraphic patterns can form spontaneously rather than as the result of changing boundary conditions. The Ferris Formation (Upper Cretaceous/Paleogene, Hanna Basin, Wyoming) exhibits stratigraphic organization where clusters of closely-spaced channel deposits are separated from other clusters by intervals dominated by overbank material. In order to determine the potential for autogenic self-organization in this ancient deposit, spatial-point-process statistics are used to quantitatively compare the stratigraphic pattern of the Ferris Formation to stratigraphy from a physical experiment designed to highlight intrinsic variability in alluvial depositional systems. The spatial patterns of auxiliary variables such as maximum grain size, paleoflow depth, and paleocurrent direction are examined throughout the Ferris Formation in order to determine the factors that controlled channel avulsion and deposition within the basin. The Ferris Formation is shown to have similar stratigraphic characteristics to the experimental deposit suggesting that autogenic organization of channel avulsions over basin-filling timescales may have played a role in constructing the clustered stratigraphic pattern observed in the unit. Additionally the study area lacks strong trends sand-body properties through the stratigraphic succession and between cluster groups. Consequently there is no indication that the stratigraphic pattern observed in the Ferris Formation was driven by systematic changes in climate, tectonics, or sea level.
