... Wood from the University of Oxford. Bernie is known internationally for his pioneering work in many fields of petrology and geochemistry, from geothermometry of coexisting pyroxenes in igneous and metamorphic rocks to the formation and constitution of Earth’s core. His work on the redox state...

... understand the hydrology of San Marcos. The site “basement” is the Eocene Galisteo formation (shown in yellow). The Pliocence Ancha formation (shown in green) overlies the Galisteo. The Ancha is an excellent aquifer that is recharged by snow melt at the mountain front several kilometers away. Overlying...

... pressures of as much as 2.4 to 2.9 kb were measured in spodumene from the Tanco pegmatite at Bernie Lake, Canada, despite evidence indicating that formation of the spodumene was later than that of petalite (London et aI. 1982). Finally, in free-crystal-bearing or pocket -bearing pegmatites, initial...

... Geologic map of the Serra Pelada Au-Pd-Pt deposit (modified from Berni, 2009 ). Two metasedimentary units unconformably overlie the metavolcanosedimentary sequences: (1) the Águas Claras Formation (hosting the Serra Pelada Au-Pd-Pt deposit) is composed of metasandstones and metasiltstones deposited...

... water replaces hydrocarbons will undergo an increase in acoustic impedance. Production of a solution-gas-drive oil reservoir may result in the exsolution of a gas phase and the formation of a gas cap. Zones where gas expansion has displaced oil will undergo a decrease in impedance. During enhanced oil...

He then moved to the Geophysical Laboratory for one year where he greatly expanded his experience by working with Yingwei Fei...

..., and was organized by Patrice Hornibrook, Simon Kohn and Bernie Wood. The conference consisted of 156 presentations over three full days of oral presentations and two poster sessions. The meeting was attended by around 150 scientists from 16 different countries. Although this number was lower than other recent EMPG...

The significance of each paper is well summarized by Prof. Carmichael, and an insightful assessment has been made of how each paper has influenced...

... and Mahoney, 1973 ; Berni and Roever, 1989 ). Despite suggestions for their elimination, arrays continue to be used, bringing our attention to a critical aspect: small-scale scattering noise. Initially perceived as a form of complex coherent noise ( Campman et al., 2006 ; Pecholcs, 2014 ), recent...

... model proposed by Berni and Roever (1989) and used to derive r from interreceiver spacing differs from the synthetic modeling result and the Aki-Denham model in that cannot produce r values less than 0. If we plot SANR versus r for a 10-geophone array for values of r...

... ). Considering noise measurements, the low impedance contrast among the layered volumes of the alluvial formations does not provide the optimal conditions to apply the Nakamura technique ( Nakamura, 1989 ). Moreover, as demonstrated by the transverse section indicated in Figure  1 , the 1D configuration...

... at one data point does not relate to the soil class to which it belongs, the record is excluded. A small number of the classes are represented by bedrock formations (i.e., limestone, marl limestone, conglomerate, flysh , marl, travertine). As is well known, the physical and mechanical properties...

.... There are numerous other methods in the literature for finding transition states. However, the more common methods use simpler numerical algorithms in a more efficient way. The Berny optimization algorithm and the synchronous transit quasi-newton method (STQN) are good examples. The Berny algorithm ( Frisch et...

Collection from some 20 Pawpaw formation (Lower Cretaceous) localities in Texas has yielded hundreds of specimens of Engonoceras, mostly fragmentary, and only a mere half dozen are complete...

Minerals as additives also provide specific properties to certain end products, e.g. papers, plastics and composite materials. Industrial minerals...
