Structural geometry and evolution of the Rukwa Rift Basin, Tanzania: Implications for helium potential (2021)
Journal Article
Mulaya, E., Gluyas, J., McCaffrey, K., Phillips, T., & Ballentine, C. (2022). Structural geometry and evolution of the Rukwa Rift Basin, Tanzania: Implications for helium potential. Basin Research, 34(2), 938-960. https://doi.org/10.1111/bre.12646

The Rukwa Rift Basin, Tanzania is regarded as a modern example of a cratonic rift zone despite complex polyphase extensional and episodic inversion structures. We interpret 2D seismic reflection data tied to wells to identify and describe structures...

First results of undersea muography with the Tokyo-Bay Seafloor Hyper-Kilometric Submarine Deep Detector (2021)
Journal Article
Tanaka, H. K., Aichi, M., Bozza, C., Coniglione, R., Gluyas, J., Hayashi, N., …Varga, D. (2021). First results of undersea muography with the Tokyo-Bay Seafloor Hyper-Kilometric Submarine Deep Detector. Scientific Reports, 11(1), https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-98559-8

Tidal measurements are of great significance since they may provide us with essential data to apply towards protection of coastal communities and sea traffic. Currently, tide gauge stations and laser altimetry are commonly used for these measurements...

Karstified and fractured Lower Carboniferous (Mississippian) limestones of the UK; a cryptic geothermal reservoir (2021)
Journal Article
Narayan, N., Adams, C., & Gluyas, J. (2021). Karstified and fractured Lower Carboniferous (Mississippian) limestones of the UK; a cryptic geothermal reservoir. Zeitschrift der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Geowissenschaften - Journal of Applied and Regional Geology, 172(3), 251-265. https://doi.org/10.1127/zdgg/2021/0288

Karstified and fractured Lower Carboniferous (Mississippian) limestones of the UK have been evaluated for their geothermal potential. This wholly undeveloped resource is calculated to be in excess of 26 million GWh (95 EJ) for the P90 case and as muc...

Role played by clay content in controlling reservoir quality of submarine fan system, Forties Sandstone Member, Central Graben, North Sea (2021)
Journal Article
Bello, A. M., Jones, S. J., Gluyas, J. G., Acikalin, S., & Cartigny, M. (2021). Role played by clay content in controlling reservoir quality of submarine fan system, Forties Sandstone Member, Central Graben, North Sea. Marine and Petroleum Geology, 128, Article 105058. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpetgeo.2021.105058

Proximal to distal fan change in grain size, clay matrix content, and grain-coating clays have been identified as key contributing factors for eservoir quality evolution of submarine fan turbidite sandstones. This study evaluated the role played by g...

Advanced analysis of satellite data reveals ground deformation precursors to the Brumadinho Tailings Dam collapse (2021)
Journal Article
Grebby, S., Sowter, A., Gluyas, J., Toll, D., Gee, D., Athab, A., & Girindran, R. (2021). Advanced analysis of satellite data reveals ground deformation precursors to the Brumadinho Tailings Dam collapse. Communications Earth & Environment, 2, Article 2. https://doi.org/10.1038/s43247-020-00079-2

Catastrophic failure of a tailings dam at an iron ore mine complex in Brumadinho, Brazil, on 25th January 2019 released 11.7 million m3 of tailings downstream. Although reportedly monitored using an array of geotechnical techniques, the collapse occu...
