Factors Influencing Rock Strength and Fluid Flow at the Basement–Sediment Interface from Field and Core-Based Observations, Llano Uplift, Texas 2023

The hydromechanical properties of the uppermost basement and of the basement–sediment interface influence multiple geologic processes of societal relevance, including the flow of groundwater; the accumulation of hydrocarbons, economic minerals, and geothermal resources; and the response of seismo

Petrography and diagenesis of a half-billion-year-old cratonic sandstone (Hickory), Llano region, Texas Petrography and diagenesis of a half-billion-year-old cratonic sandstone (Hickory), Llano region, Texas 2002

We studied the Hickory Sandstone Member of the Riley Formation, Central Texas, to assess the diagenetic history of a cratonic sandstone, which, in spite of its great age, remains porous and permeable where it has not been buried more than 1 km.

Pavement Deflection and Seismic Refraction for Determining Bedrock Type, Depth, and Physical Properties beneath Roads Pavement Deflection and Seismic Refraction for Determining Bedrock Type, Depth, and Physical Properties beneath Roads 2000

We examined the relationship between three data types--geologic maps, measurements of pavement deflection under load, and seismic refraction data-- from diverse geologic settings in Texas to determine (1) whether geologic maps and seismic refraction data might be used to interpret deflections and

Stratigraphy of Lower Cretaceous Trinity deposits of central Texas Stratigraphy of Lower Cretaceous Trinity deposits of central Texas 1971

The stratigraphic record of the Lower Cretaceous Trinity Division in Central Texas, as revealed by extensive outcrop investigation, is that of a shallow sea transgressing the southern flank of the ancient Llano Uplift.
