We present evidence for the existence of tabular zones localized deformation in aeolian sandstone, that accommodate pure compaction. In this sense they are analogs anticracks or closing mode I fractures such as pressure solution surfaces stylolites. The so called "compaction bands" exposed outcrops Jurassic Navajo Sandstone Kaibab monocline, Utah. They characterized by lack shear offset across their plane, volume loss, micro fracturing and very little grain crushing comminution. Based on...
We have used outcrops of dolomite exposed in the Triassic Sella Group Italian Central Dolomites as an analog for subsurface low-porosity faulted and fractured reservoirs. The was mildly deformed at shallow burial depth (21,000 m) a tectonic strike-slip regime during Eocene-Miocene Alpine compression that caused formation joints faults. Because matrix porosity dolomites is low (<5%) poorly connected, faults are essential to connect vugs provide permeability. Field observations explain why...
Abstract The mechanics of deformation in multilayer flexures is analysed by comparing field observations joint clusters from the East Kaibab Monocline, Utah with fracture patterns produced analytical and numerical experiments. Dune boundaries (bedding planes) were mapped through thickness aeolian Navajo Formation, occurrence joints related to dune boundary slip fold curvature was documented. Slip along boundaries, as evidenced oblique bedding, occurs steep limb middle Navajo. Joints...
Abstract Flow‐through brackish gravel pit lakes near the Adriatic Coast of Emilia Romagna (Italy) in Mediterranean have a large influence on hydrologic budget watershed. Strong evaporation combination with intense drainage low lying basins enhances groundwater inflow into lake. Precipitation falling is mixed brackish/saline lake water causing loss freshwater. The are characterized by high salinity (TDS = 4.6–12.3 g L −1 ) and pH (8.5). Stable isotope data show that fed which mix Apennine...
Hydrogeochemical analyses were carried out to identify geochemical processes occurring in the low-lying coastal aquifer of Ravenna, North Adriatic Sea (Italy). The area is characterized by a complex coexistence several environments: dunes, paleodunes, pine forests, freshwater wetlands, rivers, brackish lagoons, gravel pit lakes, reclaimed lands, agricultural fields and industrial areas. Water quality primary importance for sustainability these, areas full understanding processing fundamental...
Abstract A pavement outcrop with excellent exposure of spatial relationships among joints, veins, small offset normal faults, and associated alteration halos (redox fronts) provided an opportunity to compare predictions analytical models for reaction front propagation in a fracture‐matrix system real‐field situation. The results have important implications fluid flow pollutant transport through fractured medium. observed suggest that all joints different sets most faults are conductive...
Fracture patterns reflect the tectonic history of an area. By studying characteristics fracture in outcrops it is feasible to reconstruct sequence events which helps predict similar geological settings including fractured reservoirs and aquifers. This paper studies assemblages exposed Monte Conero anticline, formed by two principal carbonate formations: Maiolica Scaglia Rossa.Fieldwork measurements properties such as, orientation, length, aperture, microscope analysis thin sections...
Gravel pit lakes form when gravel deposits are excavated below the water table. We studied two fluvial called De Lange Vlieter (DLV Lake) and Boschmolen Plas (BP Lake), in Meuse River valley (The Netherlands). Water from is pumped only into DLV Lake that used for drinking production. The mean values, linear trends seasonal patterns of time series data (2003–2014), temperature, pH, nitrate, phosphate sulphate were compared using one-way tests variance differences. effects river infiltration...
