Regional stratigraphic cross sections, Comanche Cretaceous (Fredericksburg - Washita Division), Edwards and Stockton plateaus, West Texas:  interpretation of sedimentary facies, depositional cycles, and tectonics Regional stratigraphic cross sections, Comanche Cretaceous (Fredericksburg - Washita Division), Edwards and Stockton plateaus, West Texas: interpretation of sedimentary facies, depositional cycles, and tectonics 2000

Six interlocking regional stratigraphic cross sections of Lower Cretaceous strata (middle Albian-lower Cenomanian) of the Edwards and Stockton Plateaus of West Texas illustrate the vertical and lateral extent of lithostratigraphic units and distribution of facies and facies tracts.

Twin vertical-seismic-profile (VSP) simulation of crosswell seismic tomography Twin vertical-seismic-profile (VSP) simulation of crosswell seismic tomography 1999

Researchers in crosswell seismic tomography attempt to image interwell velocity fields by using traveltimes of transmitted waves generated by a downhole source and recorded by downhole receivers.
