| Title | : | Physico-Chemical Characterization of Laterites of Mallampalli Subgroup, Mid- Proterozoic Pakhal Basin, Telangana, India |
| Country | : | India |
| Authors | : | G. Prabhakar || Abhijeet Mukherjee || C. Verma || Amit K. Saw |
Abstract: The Pakhal outcrops occur in three patches extending from Sirpur at the northern border of Telangana to Kothagudem in NW-SE direction. Pakhal sediments are exposed over a length of 350 km along the strike direction of major geological groups parallel to the direction of the Godavari valley which is NW to SE. The Pakhal Basin extends in three districts namely Warangal, Karimnagar and Adilabad districts of Telangana. Pakhal is 1600 m thick consisting of arenaceous, argillaceous and calcareous rocks. The Mallampalli group is exposed between the Maneru river and the Pakhal lake area. In this group, oldest formation is the Mallampalli conglomerate, which consists of boulder conglomerate, arkose and quartzite............

| Title | : | Rock Types and Identification of Tight Oil Reservoir of Salt Lake in Continental Facies：A Case Study of Permian Lucaogou Formation, Jimsar Sag |
| Country | : | China |
| Authors | : | Ma Ke1hou Jiagen || Liu Yuming || Shi Yanqing |
Abstract: The new century has witnessed a strategic breakthrough in unconventional oil gas. Hydrocarbon accumulated in micro-/nano-scale pore throat shale systems has become an important domain that could replace current oil&gas resources. Unconventional oil gas plays an increasingly important role in our energy mix. Petrology and pore characteristics of the tight oil reservoir in the Lucaogou Formation, Jimusar Sag, were carefullystudied by core observation, thin section identification, and EMPA analyses, with reference to outcrop profiles, and logging andseismicdata.............

| Title | : | Source area detection using groundwater model at Woburn, Massachusetts |
| Country | : | Bangladesh |
| Authors | : | Tanzeer Hasan |
Abstract: Groundwater contamination in the City of Woburn, Massachusetts, was first suspected when water from two municipal wells (G and H) caused illness in a number of residents. United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) performed an investigation in beginning of 1979 within the Aberjona River valley. Groundwater contamination was shown to be the result of the actions of several large manufacturing and service companies located within the area. These companies often handled dangerous materials with properties that are suspected to be potential contaminant sources..............

| Title | : | Seismotectonics of Badra-Amarah Fault, Iraq-Iran Border |
| Country | : | U.S.A |
| Authors | : | Wathiq Abdulnaby || Maher Mahdi || Rafed Al-Mohmed || Hanan H. Mahdi |
Abstract: Badra-Amarah fault is located in the northeastern side of the Mesopotamian Zone at the Iraq-Iran border. This fault is the most seismically active fault in Iraq and it is located within the seismic zone that could suffer a major damage. The goal of this study is to investigate the seismic history and the focal mechanism solutions of Badra-Amarah fault. Additionally, recent stress regime of the fault area was derived by conducting formal stress inversion technique. The seismic history has been studied by using the source parameters of earthquakes from different catalogs, mainly from the IRSC catalog......

| Title | : | The genetic type of Mixed Sedimentation in Permian Lucaogou Formation, Jimsar sag |
| Country | : | China |
| Authors | : | Ma Ke || Hou Jiagen || Liu Yuming || Shi Yanqing |
Abstract: Mixed sedimentation of terrigenous clastic and carbonate is a sedimentary phenomena which has special sedimentational mechanism and significance.Although many progresses have been achieved in the research of mixed sedimentation of terrigenous clastic and carbonate,much divergence still exists in the geological concepts,classification,mechanism of hybrid processes and the controlling factors. Based on outcrop surveying and borehole core observation as well as thin section and SEM(scanning electron microscopy) analyses,we propose in the paper that the Lucaogou Formation is a typicalsaline lacustrine depositional sequence of mixed siliciclastic and carbonate sediments in Jimsarsag，which contains two levels of implication......

| Title | : | The Concept of Gondwanaland and Pangaea: A reappraisal |
| Country | : | India |
| Authors | : | Zahid A. Khan || Ram Chandra Tewari |
Abstract: The Gondwanaland never existed as an independent continent, even for a day, as it is generally believed. There was a single mega continent on the Earth i.e. Pangaea that broke up as a consequence of the development of the mid oceanic ridges, late in Mesozoic, and certainly not before the Permian. The mid oceanic ridges are the consequences of expanding Earth. Plate tectonics depended entirely on subduction phenomenon for which there is no direct evidence and this concept is therefore largely untenable in the above context. The Indus-Tsangpo Suture Zone (ITSZ), believed to represent the northern boundary of Indian plate, but the relative ages as well as geological evolution of the Chaman-Ornach-Nal Fault areas does not justify the northward migration of Indian plate......
