The Nanaimo Group of southwestern British Columbia has been the source of significant scientific interest due to its relationship with the Baja British Columbia (Baja BC) hypothesis -- the idea that the Nanaimo Group, along with much of western British Columbia, was originally l…
The last deglacial history of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS), the world’s largest freshwater reservoir, is important for monitoring the current AIS change and projecting the future sea-level rise trend. However, due to the lack of direct observational constraints on AIS last degl…
We live in an era of big data, brought on by the advent of automatic large-scale data acquisition in many industries. Machine learning can be used to take advantage of large data sets, predicting otherwise unknown information from them. The Minnesota County Well Index (CWI) data…
Rocks exposed south of the MMT in the lower Swat terrane, Pakistan represent the northernmost margin of the Indian plate. These rocks comprise Precambrian-Cambrian(?) basement gneiss (Swat Gneisses) and Paleozoic cover-sequence (Alpurai Group metasediments). Anatectic tourmaline…
Deepwater clastic deposits of the Late Miocene Isongo Formation, located 50 km northwest of Bioko Island, characterize a sand-rich transient fan system developed in response to incipient structural growth on the continental slope. Approximately 1200 ft (366 m) of conventional co…
