Gulf of Mexico - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Apr 4, 2011 · 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.
Structure, age, and tectonic evolution of the Gulf of Mexico
Jan 1, 2022 · 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 …
Jan 5, 2022 · 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 ...
3D mapping of intruding salt bodies in the subsurface of the Gulf …
Dec 1, 2020 · The most extensive salt tectonic study in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico has been Bouroullec et al. (2017 a, 2017 b), looking at salt geometries and spatial variation of salt distribution. Bouroullec et al. (2017 a) identified three provinces within the northeastern Gulf of Mexico using primarily 2D seismic data. Within the eastern province ...
The Gulf of Mexico: towards an integration of coastal …
Jan 1, 2004 · The Gulf of Mexico must be a priority for a global environmental facility (GEF) initiative concerning regional natural resources and ecosystem management. • The Gulf of Mexico is a shared international ecosystem and should be a top priority for the USA and Mexico. •
Chapter 15 Depositional Evolution of the Gulf of Mexico …
Jan 1, 2008 · The Gulf of Mexico basin was created by an episode of crustal extension and sea-floor spreading during the Mesozoic breakup of Pangea (Salvador, 1987; Sawyer et al., 1991; Buffler and Thomas, 1994; Harry and Londono, 2004; Jacques and Clegg, 2002). Origin of the basin is reflected in the distribution and nature of the basement crust (Figure 2).
Opening of the Gulf of Mexico: What we know, what questions …
Jan 5, 2022 · 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 ...
The trouble with the curve: Reevaluating the Gulf of Mexico sea …
Aug 10, 2019 · The 2019 Gulf of Mexico sea-level curve presented here is based on 654 samples collated from 32 publications spanning five decades of marine biological and sea-level research. The 2019 curve uses both linear regression and an age/depth Bayesian modeling program called Bchron ( Parnell and Roland Gehrels, 2015 ) on 290 core samples of elkhorn ...
Mangrove forests in a rapidly changing world: Global change …
Dec 15, 2018 · The Gulf of Mexico is a valuable region for advancing understanding of global change impacts to mangrove forests because, in addition to a rich legacy of ecological research, coastal wetlands in the region are abundant and span multiple ecologically-relevant abiotic gradients (López-Portillo and Ezcurra, 2002; Méndez-Alonzo et al., 2008; Day et al., 2013; …
