Identifying Key Variables Associated With The Temporal And Spatial Distribution Of Prolific Marine Petroleum Source Rock (Mpsr) Units And Its Application To The Taconic Foreland Basin, Eastern New York, C. Mark Achong
Geology Theses and Dissertations
Correctly identifying key variables associated with the temporal and spatial distribution of prolific marine petroleum source rock (MPSR) units is of critical importance towards the future development of models accurately predicting their existence and effective exploitation. The geographic positioning and prevailing paleoclimatic conditions on paleocontinental reconstructions, in combination with the processes controlling the drowning of continental margins and parameters associated with the establishment of high biologic productivity and long term anoxic conditions within the water column, have been pursued as first-order constraints controlling the development of some prolific marine petroleum source rock (MPSR) deposits. From this, a model has been …
