Beneath the Grand Canyon’s iconic layers, scientists have uncovered a fast-paced, 500-million-year-old tale of evolution that’s turning geology on its head.

In a new paper, Jordan Jensen and Alexis Ault introduce a new forensic tool designed to enhance our understanding of how unconformities form. Iron oxide minerals are found in rocks around the world.

Science & Technology Time Will Tell: USU Geoscientists Develop Tool to Chronicle Unexplained Gaps in the Rock Record In the journal Geology, Presidential Doctoral Research Fellow Jordan Jensen and ...

Time will tell: Geoscientists develop tool to chronicle unexplained gaps in the rock record by Mary-Ann Muffoletto, Utah State University ...

The far-source stepped fault conduit-controlled accumulation model refers to a hydrocarbon transport network composed of interconnected sand bodies, unconformities, and faults, presenting a profile ...

The findings at Pikes Peak indicate that similar unconformities may predate Snowball Earth, suggesting complex erosion processes over millions of years. Scientists hope these insights will lead to a ...

Unconformities occur when a sustained period of erosion removes and prevents newer layers of rock from forming, leaving an unconformable contact. Our results support that a Great Unconformity near ...

Deep learning (DL) has been widely used for various geological tasks but not much for seismic unconformity estimation because of the limited labeled training data. We propose the physical knowledge ...

We discuss two 50-70 km profiles of unconformities, bedding sequences, and englacial folding recorded to the icebed with 3.2 MHz radar in East Antarctica. The unconformities result from localized ...

Then, the canvas on which we communicate our condition, desires and unconformities becomes the exact moment in which we break silence with meaning. Emily Dickinson said in a poem: ‘There’s Ransom in a ...
