Sedimentation of the Kimmeridge Clay Formation in the Cleveland Basin (Yorkshire, UK) (2020)
Journal Article
Atar, E., Aplin, A. C., Lamoureux-Var, V., März, C., & Wagner, T. (2020). Sedimentation of the Kimmeridge Clay Formation in the Cleveland Basin (Yorkshire, UK). Minerals, 10(11), Article 977. https://doi.org/10.3390/min10110977

Fine-grained sedimentary successions contain the most detailed record of past environmental conditions. High-resolution analyses of these successions yield important insights into sedimentary composition and depositional processes and are, therefore,...

Geomechanical characterisation of organic-rich calcareous shale using AFM and nanoindentation (2020)
Journal Article
Graham, S., Rouainia, M., Aplin, A., Cubillas, P., Fender, T., & Armitage, P. (2021). Geomechanical characterisation of organic-rich calcareous shale using AFM and nanoindentation. Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering, 54, 303-320. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00603-020-02261-6

The geomechanical integrity of shale overburden is a highly significant geological risk factor for a range of engineering and energy-related applications including CO2 storage and unconventional hydrocarbon production. This paper aims to provide a co... Read More about Geomechanical characterisation of organic-rich calcareous shale using AFM and nanoindentation.

Microbial cycling, migration and leakage of light alkanes in the Nile Delta tertiary fan (2020)
Journal Article
Böker, U., Dodd, T., Goldberg, T., & Aplin, A. (2020). Microbial cycling, migration and leakage of light alkanes in the Nile Delta tertiary fan. Marine and Petroleum Geology, 121, Article 104578. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpetgeo.2020.104578

We present a geochemical dataset which helps unravel the complex set of processes by which light alkanes are sourced, charged, mixed, leaked and altered in the Plio-Pleistocene Nile Delta. Thermogenic gas derives from a sub-Messinian source and mixes... Read More about Microbial cycling, migration and leakage of light alkanes in the Nile Delta tertiary fan.

Supercritical methane adsorption and storage in pores in shales and isolated kerogens (2020)
Journal Article
Rexer, T. F., Mathia, E. J., Aplin, A. C., & Thomas, K. M. (2020). Supercritical methane adsorption and storage in pores in shales and isolated kerogens. SN Applied Sciences, 2(4), Article 780. https://doi.org/10.1007/s42452-020-2517-6

Shale gas is an important hydrocarbon resource in a global context. It has had a significant impact on energy resources in the US, but the worldwide development of this methane resource requires further research to increase the understanding of the r...
