Substantial volumes of methane gas are trapped below the seafloor and in permafrost by an
ice-like solid called clathrate hydrate. Global estimates of the methane in clathrate hydrate …

Carbonates are major sedimentary materials found in many upper layers of the Earth's crust.
Understanding their compaction behavior is important for porosity prediction in sedimentary …

We have analyzed two laboratory data sets obtained on high-porosity rock samples from the
North Sea. The velocities observed are unusual in that they seem to disagree with some …

Physical properties of MICP-treated sands are controlled by CaCO 3 distributions in pore
space, which remain relatively unexplored. CaCO 3 can deposit at the particles' contact area …

The micromechanics of failure in Berea sandstone were investigated by characterizing
quantitatively the evolution of damage under the optical and scanning electron microscopes …

An analytical model is developed to describe the effective elastic properties of a cemented
granular material that is modeled as a random packing of identical spheres. The elastic …

This textbook compiles reports written by about 35 internationally recognized authorities,
and covers a range of interests for geotechnical engineers. Topics include: fundamentals for …

We interpret amplitude variation with offset (AVO) data from a bottom simulating reflector
(BSR) offshore Florida by using rock-physics-based synthetic seismic models. A previously …

This paper presents results of shear strength and acoustic velocity (p-wave) measurements
performed on:(1) samples containing natural gas hydrate from the Mallik 2L-38 well …

A three-dimensional bonded contact model is developed in this study to simulate the
mechanical behavior of bonded granular material using the Discrete Element Method. Two …
