Deepwater fold and thrust belts (DWFTBs) are classified into near-field stress-driven Type 1
systems confined to the sedimentary section, and Type 2 systems deformed by either far …

To assess the potential impact of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill on offshore ecosystems, 11
sites hosting deep-water coral communities were examined 3 to 4 mo after the well was …

The Gulf of Mexico Basin is one of the most prolific hydrocarbon-producing basins in the
world, with an estimated endowment of 200 billion barrels of oil equivalent. This book …

Gases contained within near-surface marine sediments can be derived from multiple
