Eel River margin source-to-sink sediment budgets: Revisited
Abstract The Eel River coastal margin has been used as a representative source-to-sink sediment dispersal system owing to its steep, high-sediment yield river and the formation of sedimentary strata on its continental shelf. One finding of previous...

Geomechanical Modeling of Fault Responses and the Potential for Notable Seismic Events During Underground CO2 Injection
Abstract We summarize a number of recent modeling studies related to the potential for fault reactivations and induced seismicity during underground CO2 injection. The model simulations were conducted using coupled multiphase fluid flow and...
