In-Situ Seismic and Ex-Situ Laboratory Analysis from Expedition 364: Chicxulub Impact Basin Peak Ring Hole M0077a
DownloadSpring 2022
Although craters with central peak ring morphology are common throughout the solar system, intact examples are rare terrestrially. The central rebound in complex craters is attributed to compressional rebound, but the mechanism that causes these uplifts to form a peak ring above a certain...

Ultrasonic Characterization of Bitumen with Pressure and Temperature: Implications for seismic monitoring of the Grosmont Formation
DownloadFall 2018
The vastly untapped carbonate Grosmont Formation in north-eastern Alberta may hold in excess of a couple of hundred billion barrels initial volume of bitumen in place. Bitumen, an ultra-heavy hydrocarbon oil, possesses a density comparable to water, but a dynamic shear viscosity million times...

Wave Speed Measurements of Grosmont Formation Carbonates: Implications for Time-Lapse Seismic Monitoring
DownloadFall 2019
The Grosmont Formation is a Devonian-aged carbonate platform complex that is estimated to hold over 64.5 billion m3 (406 billion bbl) of bitumen in place, accounting for a significant portion of Canada’s total hydrocarbon reserves. Despite this, the Grosmont formation has largely been undeveloped...
