Despite the influence of other geological and geomorphological factors, chemical
weathering at the Earth's surface is strongly controlled by climate. Thus, a measure of …

Although Paleogene warm climatic intervals have received considerable attention for
atmospheric and oceanographic changes, the authigenic mineralization associated with …

The Gulf of Mexico Basin is one of the most prolific hydrocarbon-producing basins in the
world, with an estimated endowment of 200 billion barrels of oil equivalent. This book …

Rare earth elements and yttrium (REY) have gained greater attention for being largely used
in various high-tech applications and green energies. Recently, supply shortage and high …

A never solved problem in sedimentary petrology is the origin of sandstone consisting
exclusively of quartz and most durable heavy minerals. The Congo River offers an excellent …

In this study, we present evidence of a Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM)
record within a 543-m-thick (1780 ft) deep-marine section in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) using …

Abstract The Baoshan, Tengchong, Lhasa, South Qiangtang, and Sibumasu terranes were
part of Gondwana prior to rifting and drifting from the northern margin since the Early …

A review of the compositional features of Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco phosphorites is
proposed in order to assess and compare the paleoenvironmental conditions that promoted …

Deep-sea fan sediments carry physical and chemical signatures that reflect the conditions
under which their native landscapes evolved. Fans are long-lived, strongly net-depositional …

Understanding eodiagenesis is essential to decoding the diagenetic pathways of tight
sandstones that act as excellent unconventional oil & gas reservoirs. Great paleoclimate …
