Abstract:

The overarching goal of this work was to trace the origins of organic matter as a possible biosignature for early life on Earth. This work documented the petrological, structural, isotopic, elemental and molecular properties of organic matter, in a suite of sediments ranging from the Eoarchean to the Phanerozoic. Particular attention was paid to iron formations which form a major part of the Precambrian sedimentological record. Optical and micro-Raman spectroscopy were used to document the petrological occurrences of organic matter and its associated diagenetic features. Focused ion beam and t

Abstract:

Integrated analysis of whole-rock and mineral geochemical data from black shale and metamorphosed black shale demonstrates the importance of sulfides as trace-element hosts and reveals the influence of depositional environment on whole-rock and mineral chemistries. Detailed analysis of Fe-sulfide contents provides evidence of considerable elemental redistribution during diagenesis and metamorphism, indicating that such sulfides plausibly serve as a source of metals and other elements to epigenetic fluids.

Abstract:

The “deltaic” geomorphology in the Eberswalde Crater is often considered a “smoking gun” for the warm-and-wet ancient climate of Mars. The Crater displays sedimentary features, which many argue, can only be found in a river-delta system (Bhattacharya et al., 2005). However, with the advent of high-resolution images, the Eberswalde Crater delta’s geomorphology has been revealed to be more complicated than could be seen previously. These high-resolution data suggest that the development of the Eberswalde delta is likely more episodic (Schieber 2007). While better resolution data has placed doub

Abstract:

Recent technological advances have led to dramatic improvements in seismic resolution which now enable seismic attenuation to be measured on a routine basis. The usefulness of seismic attenuation as an interpretation parameter is restricted at present by our incomplete knowledge of the relationships between attenuation and important reservoir parameters such as porosity, permeability and the nature of the pore fluid. In order to redress this imbalance, P-wave and S-wave velocities and attenuations were measured in the laboratory at a frequency of about 0.8 MHz and at an effective pressure of 6

The effect of partially saturated conditions on aqueous diffusion was investigated on the Upper Ordovician Queenston Formation shale from the Michigan Basin of southwest Ontario, Canada. Effective diffusion coefficients (De) were determined for iodide tracer on duplicate cm-scale samples from a core segment.

The method is designed to create partially saturated pores, quantify the level of partial gas/brine saturation within the tracer-accessible por

Development of deep geologic repositories (DGRs) for the storage of radioactive waste within these formations causes progressive modification to the state of stress, to the groundwater regime, and to the chemistry of the rock mass.

Abstract:

An investigation of the elastic interseam sedimentary rocks has elucidated the depositional and contemporaneous tectonic history of the Upper Permian Rangal Coal Measures at the C.S.R. South Blackwater Mine, Central Queensland, The studied section is stratigraphically bound by the Orion and Aries coal seams. The approximately 84 square km study area is located on the eastern flank of the Comet Ridge, within the Bowen Basin. The geological data used in this study consists of Qorehole information, approximately derived 2800 from bores, a geological and detailed database, containi
