Graphic logs are a method used by geologists to record sedimentary rock layers and structures to scale using symbols. The vertical scale shows bed thickness proportionally, while the horizontal scale maps particle sizes. A variety of symbols indicate features like graded bedding, cross-bedding, ripples, and erosion surfaces. Example graphic logs depict typical sequences in glacial, river, desert, and delta depositional environments. Questions on exams may involve interpreting sedimentary histories from graphic logs.

Preconsolidation in glacial sediments: the case of Andorra
This document summarizes the geotechnical properties of glacial sediments in Andorra. It discusses two case studies: 1) a lateral moraine where samples showed evidence of multiple consolidation events, and 2) the bottom sediments of an overdeepened valley which exhibited decreasing shear strength with depth, indicating former high water pressures. Pressuremeter tests on these sediments revealed three types of stress-strain behavior: 1) a single yield point, 2) multiple yield points, and 3) continuous yielding without apparent yield points. This provides insights into the stress history and consolidation of glacial sediments in Andorra.
Photographs from Geological Field Trip to Tremp and Ainsa Basins
Slideshow of field photographs from the field trip to Tremp and Ainsa Basins in Northern Spain. Rock sequences ranging form the Precambrian to the recent are exposed in the Pyrenees. The lower Metamorphic Unit (Cambrian to Lower Permian) forms the axis of the mountain chain. The upper sedimentary unit (Middle Permian to present day) is exposed along the flanks. This sedimentary unit provides an excellent opportunity to study the evolution of different sedimentary basins in response to the tectonoic activity. The sedimentary depositional environments covers an almost complete gamut from aeolian to deep marine through fluvial, deltaic, shoreface etc. The region is also excellent to study the development of different petroleum system components - source, reservoir, trap, seal and charge (though there is not much oil on the Spanish side of the Pyrenees).
Poster Slide
This study uses seismic attribute analysis of a 3D seismic survey covering a producing lease in the Morrison Northeast oil field in Clark County, Kansas. The target horizon is the Ordovician Viola Limestone, which produces from paleotopographic traps formed by erosion beneath an unconformity. Nine wells were drilled targeting thickened sections of the Viola identified on seismic data, but two were dry holes and one was converted to a disposal well. Attributes analysis found producing wells cluster at lower amplitudes, while dry holes and disposal wells are at higher amplitudes. Future work will analyze lithofacies from drill cuttings and multi-attribute displays to better understand controls on Viola production.

Ch07 sedimentary rocks
Sedimentary rocks cover approximately 75% of the world's land area. They can provide information about past climate conditions, environments, sources of sediment, and history of sediment transport and deposition. Sedimentary rocks are classified based on their texture (grain size and shape) and mineral composition. Major textures are clastic (discrete fragments) and nonclastic (interlocking crystals). Common types include conglomerate, sandstone, siltstone, shale, limestone, dolostone, evaporites, and coal. Grain size, sorting, rounding and composition are used to interpret depositional environments and transport history.
3D Facies Modeling
3D Facies Modelling project using Petrel software. Msc Geology and Geophysics
Abstract
The Montserrat and Sant Llorenç del Munt fan-delta complexes were developed during the Eocene in the Ebro basin. The depositional stratigraphic record of these fan deltas has been described as a made up by a several transgressive and regressive composite sequences each made up by several fundamental sequences. Each sequence set is in turn composed by five main facies belts: proximal alluvial fan, distal alluvial fan, delta front, carbonates platforms and prodelta.
Using outcrop data from three composite sequences (Sant Vicenç, Vilomara and Manresa), a 3D facies model was built. The key sequential traces of the studied area georeferenced and digitalized on to photorealistic terrain models, were the hard data used as input to reconstruct the main surfaces, which are separating transgressive and regressive stacking patterns. Regarding the facies modelling has been achieved using a geostatistical algorithm in order to define the stacking trend and the interfingerings of adjacent facies belts, and five paleogeographyc maps to reproduce the paleogeometry of the facies belts within each system tract.
The final model has been checked, using a real cross section, and analysed in order to obtain information about the Delta Front facies which are the ones susceptible to be analogous of a reservoir. Attending to the results including eight probability maps of occurrence, the transgressive sequence set of Vilomara is the greatest accumulation of these facies explained by its agradational component.
Dinosaurfootprints
The document provides information on measuring dinosaur footprints and trackways to determine characteristics of dinosaurs such as speed and size. It discusses measuring footprint length and stride length to calculate hip height, total length, and whether the dinosaur was walking, trotting, or running. Examples are given for various dinosaurs such as Velociraptor, Ultrasaurus, and Gallimimus. Formulas are presented for calculating hip height, relative stride length, dimensionless speed, and actual speed based on footprint and stride length measurements.
Dinosaursmodeoflife
This document discusses dinosaurs, including their diversity and characteristics. It notes that there were over 500 dinosaur genera and around 1,000 species. Herbivorous dinosaurs tended to have large bodies, neck and tail variations suited for different diets, and gastroliths or stomach stones. Carnivorous dinosaurs were often bipedal, had forward-facing eyes and sharp teeth and claws for hunting, and may have hunted in packs. Specific dinosaurs discussed include Spinosaurus, Stegosaurus, and Argentinosaurus, which was one of the largest at over 30 meters long.
Hydrographs tcm4 134116
This document discusses the construction and analysis of hydrographs. Hydrographs show changes in river discharge over time, especially during storm events. They are constructed by plotting river discharge levels against time to analyze flooding patterns. Key aspects of hydrographs include the rising limb as flood waters increase, the peak flow, recession limb as waters recede, and basin lag time between peak rainfall and peak river flow. Analyzing hydrographs can help predict flooding and inform flood prevention. Many factors influence hydrograph shape, such as area, slope, soil, land use, and precipitation patterns.
The hydrological cycle
The document provides information about the hydrological cycle including key definitions and processes. It explains that precipitation is an input into the cycle, while evaporation and transpiration are outputs. It also describes several transfer processes by which water moves through the cycle, such as surface runoff, infiltration, percolation, groundwater flow, and river discharge.
Fossils
This document lists several types of extinct marine organisms: bivalves, brachiopods, graptolites, and ammonites. Bivalves and brachiopods are shelled organisms, while graptolites and ammonites are shelled cephalopods that were important members of Paleozoic and Mesozoic seas.
Glacial landforms2
This document describes various landforms created by glacial erosion and deposition. It defines cirques, corries, and cwms as hollows on mountainsides deepened and widened by corrie glaciers. Arêtes are knife-edged ridges between corries, while pyramidal peaks form when multiple corries erode a central horn-shaped area. Glacial troughs or U-shaped valleys have hanging valleys, truncated spurs, and misfit streams. Features of glacial deposition include till, moraines, drumlins, eskers, kames, kettles, and outwash plains.
Glacial landforms
Peter Knight photographed various glaciers around the world including niche glaciers in Wyoming that are sensitive to climate change, the ice cap on Cotopaxi volcano in Ecuador which extends further on the windward side due to higher snowfall, and valley, mountain, and ice sheet glaciers in locations such as Alaska, Greenland, and New Zealand. The photos show glacial landforms and features including moraines, crevasses, ice caves, supraglacial streams, ice cliffs, striations, and erratics.

Organic chemical sedimentary_rockssmall
This document provides information on different types of sedimentary rocks formed through organic, chemical, and evaporative processes. Organic rocks like chalk are composed of microscopic shells and form limestones. Chemical rocks like oolitic limestone form through precipitation and contain spherical grains. Evaporite rocks like halite form through evaporation in arid climates and include common minerals like gypsum and rock salt. Each rock type is described in terms of its composition, texture, and environmental conditions of formation.
Sedimentary structures smallas
Sedimentary structures provide important information about depositional environments and allow the orientation of sedimentary beds to be determined. Key structures discussed include beds and bedding planes, laminations, graded bedding indicating changes in grain size over time, cross-bedding showing current direction, sole structures like flute casts formed by erosion on sediment surfaces, and trace fossils providing evidence of organism behavior and helping determine the correct vertical orientation of strata. Together, an understanding of these sedimentary structures is essential for interpreting the depositional history preserved in sedimentary rocks.

Key structures discussed include beds and bedding planes, laminations, graded bedding indicating changes in grain size over time, cross-bedding reflecting currents, load casts and flame structures from density differences, sole structures on bed bases indicating erosion, and trace fossils providing evidence of organism behavior and helping determine correct bed orientations. Together, an understanding of these sedimentary structures allows reconstruction of the depositional environment and testing of the law of superposition.
Metamorphismpptpntn.ppt2
Metamorphism is the change in form of pre-existing rocks due to heat, pressure, or both. Contact metamorphism involves changes from heat alone near igneous intrusions, forming rocks like marble, quartzite, and hornfels. Regional metamorphism over large areas is caused by heat and pressure, producing foliated rocks like slate, schist, and gneiss from sediments. Dynamic metamorphism involves crushing along fault planes to form breccias and mylonites. Grade of metamorphism depends on conditions and mineral growth.
Metamorphism intro
This document provides an introduction to metamorphism, including definitions, causes, limits, types, effects, and characteristics. Metamorphism is the change in form of pre-existing rocks due to increases in temperature, pressure, or both. The main types of metamorphism are contact/thermal, dynamic, and regional. Metamorphism results in recrystallization and realignment of minerals without melting, changing the rock's appearance, properties, and grade of alteration. Argillaceous sediments are most susceptible to metamorphic changes.
Lava textures
Lava cools and solidifies in different ways depending on factors like thickness, rate of cooling, and whether it erupts on land or underwater. This results in a variety of igneous rock textures like pillow lava formed under water, glassy texture from instant cooling, rope-like pahoehoe or jagged aa textures on land, and vesicles or mineral deposits within the rock. Thick lava flows exhibit columnar jointing as they slowly cool from the outside in, forming hexagonal or pentagonal columns.

Artificial Intelligence for XMLDevelopment
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data Warehouse
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
