Dolomitization – Question C One of the conundrums of carbonate diagenesis is that seawater is supersaturated in dolomite, yet dolomite is rarely directly precipitated in the present day. Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of different mechanisms that have been postulated to explain dolomitization, and why it is important to understand from a hydrocarbon perspective. Introduction Dolomite (CaMg〖(CO_3)〗_2) is found in carbonate rocks of all ages that formed under a variety of conditions, but today

Zaha Hadid: The Nonpariel Impact On The World "Architecture is how the person places herself in the space. Fashion is about how you place the object on the person. " -Zaha Hadid It takes an artist to identify an artist, and Zaha Hadid was nothing short of pure genious. People who are into the contemporary designs and architecture, would acknowledge the eminent loss the world has suffered of the Iraqi-British architect who left the world a little more fabulous than when she had entered it, on 31st

Early 19th century Europe was filled with numerous scientific advances in the field of biology. For Jean Baptiste Lamarck, this was no exception. Through his personal life, scientific contributions, and the impact/knowledge that would transpire through his theories, Lamarck was an outstanding scientist within the biological community, even if he wasn’t always recognized as such. Born on August 1st 1744 in Bazentin-le-Petit, France, Lamarck’s childhood was filled with copious recounts of military

This is a geological report of an area with the proposed highway to be constructed at a uniform grade of 90m above ordinance level. Sketch of the proposed highway is provided indicating the proportionate areas to undergo cuts and fills. The various rocks presented in the locality are also discussed indicating their suitability and limitations for their possible use in the construction process. The area represented on the map has an abundance of rocks which are described as follows: Granite - granite

Marcus Isaac Harris Dr. EchoHawk Physical Geology 1010 October 31, 2015 Dinosaur National Park and It’s Geology The mountains and rivers stretching between northern Utah and Colorado hold an array of secrets from the ancient past. While the average tourist admiring the rocks, fossils, and and cliffs of Dinosaur National Park may get the jist of the park, they may not comprehend the extent to what it takes for this anomaly to form. Dinosaur National Park is mostly known for not just it’s beauty

Unconventional sources of oil and gas are becoming important for the journey of energy security. Conventional oil and gas will be unable to meet the growing demand requirements in future so there is a need to look for alternative resources of energy. In a volatile oil price movement, unconventional resources are viewed as important and economically attractive for future continuous supply. The impact of US shale gas success has been felt throughout the world. India is known to have good amount of

Areas immediately west of the study area tend to receive more winter precipitation and have a more distinctly bimodal precipitation pattern (Dean, 1988:Figure 5.1; Dean, 1996:Figure 5). The sinuous boundary between the two precipitation patterns is determined by the relative strengths of the air masses that bring winter and summer moisture, and accordingly its location has shifted over time (Dean, 1988). Therefore, the Carrizo Wash watershed likely experienced prehistoric periods with significantly

Homer’s two tales, the Iliad and the Odyssey, are both incredibly well known and widely taught across the world and at many different levels of education. Some call Homer the “greatest poet to ever live” and although this can be disputed his works truly speak for themselves and have braved the test of time quite well. This paper will cover who/whom Homer is as a person, or persons, and the time period of his writings, the truths versus the dramatizations of the Iliad and Odyssey, how the author’s

The Juniata Formation: A Record of Appalachain Mountain Building and Receding Seas Introduction Found in the Appalachian Region, the Juniata Formation extends from central-southern Pennsylvania to Tennessee (Davies 2010). Though the thickness of the Juniata Formation is far from constant across its lateral extent, it is approximately 2000 feet thick in northern Pennsylvannia and thins towards the southwest (Crowder 1980). Named for the Juniata River running through southern Pennsylvania, this formation
