Gulf of Mexico - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
2011年4月4日 · The Gulf of Mexico refers to an economically important basin with a long history of hydrocarbon exploration. It is a region that has been the subject of debate due to limited data and proprietary industry information, but collaborative efforts between industry and academia are essential for understanding its formation.
Evolution of the Northern Gulf of Mexico Sedimentary Basin
2019年1月1日 · The Gulf of Mexico opened as a Late Triassic-Mid Jurassic continental rift that was first largely covered by the Mid-Jurassic Louann Salt and later split apart by a triangular-shaped oceanic crust. Salt in the Gulf of Mexico largely hampers the imaging and interpretation of underlying pre-salt and crustal geometries, which are fundamental for ...

Structure, age, and tectonic evolution of the Gulf of Mexico
2022年1月1日 · The Gulf of Mexico is an isolated oceanic basin whose nature, structure and age are not fully elucidated, mostly because seafloor spreading isochrons have not been identified in this basin so far. We compiled and processed all publicly available marine magnetic data to produce a new magnetic anomaly map of the Gulf of Mexico.
Opening of the Gulf of Mexico: What we know, what questions …
2022年1月5日 · The Gulf of Mexico is an economically important basin with more than a century-long history of hydrocarbon exploration. However, the opening of the basin remains debated for two reasons: 1) the quality of data does not allow for reliable interpretations of crustal features beneath thick and complex overburden, and 2) most industry well and ...

2004年1月1日 · The Gulf of Mexico is a shared resource at risk, with the following major problems: (a) freshwater use and shortage, (b) pollution, (c) habitat modification, (d) unsustainable exploitation of living resources, (e) global change (sea level rise, temperature increase and change in rainfall patterns), (f) public education, and (g) lack of ...
Opening of the Gulf of Mexico: What we know, what questions …
2022年1月5日 · The Gulf of Mexico is an ocean basin flanked by the continental United States to the north, Mexico to the west and south, and Cuba to the southeast. Tectonic initiation of the Gulf of Mexico began in the Late Triassic-Early Jurassic as continental rifting associated with the breakup of Pangea (Dickinson et al., 2010; Huerta and Harry, 2012 ...
Ocean acidification in the Gulf of Mexico: Drivers, impacts, and ...
2022年12月1日 · The Gulf of Mexico (GOM) contains a wide range of ecosystems that provide important services and play a critical role in supporting the Gulf coast, United States, and international economies.
