Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) Structure from Motion (SfM) provide large amounts of digital data which virtual outcrops can be created. The accuracy these surface reconstructions is critical for quantitative structural analysis. Assessment LiDAR SfM methodologies suggest that results are comparable to high data-density on individual surfaces. effect chosen acquisition technique the full outcrop efficacy its form analysis prediction beyond single bedding surfaces, however, less certain....
Abstract The Neuquén Basin of Argentina and central Chile contains a near-continuous Late Triassic-Early Cenozoic succession deposited on the eastern side evolving Andean mountain chain. It is polyphase basin characterized by three main stages evolution: initial rift stage; subduction-related thermal sag; foreland stage. fill records tectonic evolution Andes with dramatic evidence for base-level changes that occurred both within along its margins. record these mixed siliclastic-carbonate...
Abstract The uptake of phenol by pure cultures Pseudomonas putida growing on in continuous culture has been studied. purpose the experiments was to determine kinetic parameters governing organisms high‐conversion range measuring rates per unit biomass time at various concentrations. microorganisms used were taken from a chemostat residence times 8, 5.25, 3.85, 3.2, 3, and 2.7h. Monod–Haldane model modifications it applied data best determined nonlinear least‐squares techniques....
Advances in data capture and computer technology have made possible the collection of three-dimensional, high-resolution, digital geological from outcrop analogs. This paper presents new methodologies for acquisition utilization three-dimensional information generated by ground-based laser scanning (lidar) outcrops. A complete workflow is documented—from selection through collection, processing building virtual outcrops—to interpretation geocellular models using an industry-standard,...
Abstract A product inhibition model is developed to describe the hydrolysis of cellulose by Trichoderma viride enzyme system. It assumed that noncompetitive cellobiose dominates reaction kinetics. Experiments show this indeed a reasonable assumption for initial concentrations up 15 g/liter and at extents 65′. Kinetic parameters were determined inhibitionmodel in batch experiments with durations 1.5 hr. These parameterswere then used predicting progress 10 Cellobiose was added mixture onset...
Abstract A mixed culture derived from soil and activated sludge organisms was used to degrade phenol which inhibitory microorganisms at higher concentrations. The purpose of the experiments determine kinetic parameters governing growth by measuring rates in batch culture. To maintain a constant inoculum for taken continuously operating continuous Two populations were studied corresponding two separate residence times apparatus. One contained predominantly filamentous organisms, other...
Abstract Analogues, especially outcrop analogues, have played a central role in improving understanding of subsurface reservoir architectures. Analogues provide important information on geobody size, geometry and potential connectivity. The historical application analogues for distributions reservoirs is reviewed, from the pioneering work 1960s to high-tech virtual methodologies today. Four key types analogue data are identified: hard data, which describe dimensions geobody; soft conceptual...
The use of three-dimensional (3-D), photo-textured representations topography from laser scanning and photogrammetry is becoming increasingly common across the geosciences. This rapid adoption driven by recent innovations in acquisition hardware, software automation, sensor platforms, including unmanned aerial vehicles. In addition, fusion surface geometry with imaging sensors, such as multispectral, hyperspectral, thermal, ground-based radar, geophysical methods creates complex visual data...
Igneous sills are common components in rifted sedimentary basins globally. Much work has focused on intrusions emplaced at relatively shallow palaeodepths (0 – 1.5 km). However, owing to constraints of seismic reflection imaging and limited field exposures, deeper (>1.5 km) within not as well understood regard their emplacement mechanisms host-rock interactions. Results from a world-class, seismic-scale outcrop intruded Jurassic rocks East Greenland presented here. host have been studied...
Abstract Hydrolysis of cellulose by Trichoderma viride cellulase reached a plateau after some 25 hr. If the initial enzyme‐to‐substrate ratio was low, resuspension substrate in fresh enzyme or addition resulted further high rate hydrolysis. This did not occur if high. Over 75% hydrolysis might be achieved former case, while less than 60% latter. A model postulating inactivation adsorbed enzyme–substrate complex which blocked proposed, and it found to fit data well. The proposed had five...
The key causes of heterogeneity within progradational shallow-marine reservoirs have been defined as: shoreline type (wave vs. fluvial dominated); trajectory; the presence permeability contrasts associated with dipping clinoform surfaces shoreface or delta front; cemented barriers between parasequences; and progradation direction (described respect to main waterflood in simulated reservoir). These parameters were recorded from a series 56 modern ancient depositional systems variety climatic...
Estimates of recovery from oil fields are often found to be significantly in error, and the multidisciplinary SAIGUP modelling project has focused on problem by assessing influence geological factors production a large suite synthetic shallow-marine reservoir models. Over 400 progradational reservoirs, ranging comparatively simple, parallel, wave-dominated shorelines through laterally heterogeneous, lobate, river-dominated systems with abundant low-angle clinoforms, were generated as...

Terrestrial point clouds were triangulated obtain high‐resolution surface representations, combined with semi‐metric imagery give texture‐mapped models outcrops. Such provide basis for interpretation used reconstruct geometries layers over extent area. The digitised...
Application of 3D seismic reflection data to igneous systems in sedimentary basins has led a revolution the understanding mafic sill complexes. However, there is considerable uncertainty on how geometries and architecture complexes within subsurface actually relates data. To provide constraints should be interpreted, we present synthetic seismograms generated from seismic-scale (22 × 0.25 km) outcrop East Greenland constrained by abundant field This study highlights overlying rocks adversely...
