Advective Transport: Importance to Groundwater Remediation and Illustration of Basic Transport Concepts to Introductory Audiences
(University of Kansas, 2019-05-31)Developing effective transport models with meaningful results requires a solid understanding of transport concepts and the underlying mechanics the model, and how data can be best integrated into the model. This research ... -
Seismic attribute analysis and CO2 monitoring within the Mississippian reservoir, Wellington field, Sumner County, Kansas
(University of Kansas, 2019-05-31)The Mississippian reservoirs are prolific hydrocarbon producers in the mid-continent of the United States but are challenging to image seismically due to their high heterogeneity and thicknesses typically below seismic ... -
Stratal and Petrophysical Complexity Expressed in Seismic Reflection Patterns within Isolated Carbonate Platforms
(University of Kansas, 2018-12-31)Seismic data are fundamental tools for evaluating and exploiting hydrocarbon resources, yet how the heterogeneous nature of carbonates complicates imaging, interpretation, and predictability of reservoir properties from ... -
TWO NOVEL ICHNOSPECIES: LARGE-DIAMETER VERTEBRATE BURROWS IN THE UPPER JURASSIC MORRISON FORMATION, SOUTHEASTERN UTAH
(University of Kansas, 2018-08-31)Large-diameter structures in the Salt Wash Member, Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation in southeastern Utah, are interpreted as mammal burrows. All burrow types are found in pedogenically modified clayey mudstone overlain ... -
Diagenetic controls on porosity, thermal history, and hydrocarbons in the Wolfcamp A, eastern Midland Basin, Texas
(University of Kansas, 2018-05-31)A detailed study of a Wolfcamp A core from the eastern Midland Basin, west Texas, is used to understand the diagenetic history of the region and the controls on carbonate macroporosity. Transmitted-light microscopy, ... -
High-Frequency Shallow Seismic Reflection Characterization of Overburden at an Abandon Pb-Zn Mine Beneath U.S. Highway 69 in Treece, Kansas Using Seismic Imaging and Vp/Vs Ratio
(University of Kansas, 2017-12-31)Overburden at an abandoned Pb-Zn mine beneath U.S. Highway 69 in Kansas was evaluated using P- and S-wave seismic reflection methods to estimate Vp/Vs ratio. Drilling reports indicate the mine works have lateral spans of ... -

HYDRODYNAMICS OF FLUVIAL STRATA WITHIN THE WILLIAMS FORK FORMATION
(University of Kansas, 2017-08-31)Fluvial sandstones within the middle part of the Late Cretaceous Williams Fork Formation were interpreted to gain insights to hydrodynamics of the ancient fluvial system. Emphasis is placed on a thick (~75 m), laterally ... -

(University of Kansas, 1943) -
Monitoring induced seismicity near the Wellington oil field, South-Central Kansas
(University of Kansas, 2017-05-31)Seismicity in the United States midcontinent has increased by orders of magnitude over the past decade. Spatiotemporal correlations of seismicity to wastewater injection operations have suggested that injection-related ... -
ASSESSING THE UTILITY OF BAROMETRIC RESPONSE FUNCTIONS IN ESTIMATING HYDROGEOLOGICAL PARAMETERS OF THE HIGH PLAINS AQUIFER
(University of Kansas, 2017-05-31)Accurate estimates of hydrogeological parameters, such as hydraulic conductivity, are important for effective groundwater management strategies and contaminant transport studies in aquifers worldwide, including the High ... -
The Magnitude and Rate of Change of Cell Surface Functional Groups as Function of Salinity: Implication for Environments of Microbially-Facilitated Carbonate Formation
(University of Kansas, 2016-12-31)Microorganisms are an important component of many near surface aqueous environments with cell densities ranging between 104-107 cells ml-1. While many environments are geochemically altered by microbial metabolism, their ... -
