Event-to-seasonal sediment dispersal on the Waipaoa River Shelf, New Zealand: A numerical modeling study
Abstract The formation of the geologic record offshore of small mountainous rivers is event-driven and, more so than many other environments, can result in relatively complete sequences. One such river, the Waipaoa in New Zealand, has been studied...

Building Statistical Proxy Models for CO2 Geologic Sequestration
Abstract We compare two approaches for building a statistical proxy model (metamodel) for CO2 geologic sequestration from the results of full-physics compositional simulations. The first approach involves a classical Box-Behnken experimental design...
