Dynamic climate-driven controls on the deposition of the Kimmeridge Clay Formation in the Cleveland Basin, Yorkshire, UK (2019)
Journal Article
Atar, E., März, C., Aplin, A. C., Dellwig, O., Herringshaw, L. G., Lamoureux-Var, V., Leng, M. J., Schnetger, B., & Wagner, T. (2019). Dynamic climate-driven controls on the deposition of the Kimmeridge Clay Formation in the Cleveland Basin, Yorkshire, UK. Climate of the Past, 15(4), 1581-1601. https://doi.org/10.5194/cp-15-1581-2019

The Kimmeridge Clay Formation (KCF) is a laterally extensive, total-organic-carbon-rich succession deposited throughout northwest Europe during the Kimmeridgian–Tithonian (Late Jurassic). It has recently been postulated that an expanded Hadley cell,...

Local to global controls on the deposition of organic-rich muds across the Late Jurassic Laurasian Seaway (2019)
Journal Article
Atar, E., März, C., Schnetger, B., Wagner, T., & Aplin, A. (2019). Local to global controls on the deposition of organic-rich muds across the Late Jurassic Laurasian Seaway. Journal of the Geological Society, 176(6), 1143-1153. https://doi.org/10.1144/jgs2019-031

Muds deposited in large-scale epicontinental seaways provide deep insights into palaeoclimates, biogeochemical cycles, sedimentation processes, and organic carbon burial during exceptionally warm periods throughout the Phanerozoic. Temporal changes c... Read More about Local to global controls on the deposition of organic-rich muds across the Late Jurassic Laurasian Seaway.

A diagenesis model for geomechanical simulations: formulation and implications for pore pressure and development of geological structures (2019)
Journal Article
Obradors‐Prats, J., Rouainia, M., Aplin, A., & Crook, A. (2019). A diagenesis model for geomechanical simulations: formulation and implications for pore pressure and development of geological structures. Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 124, 4452-4472. https://doi.org/10.1029/2018jb016673

Forward basin modelling is routinely used in many geological applications, with the critical limitation that chemical diagenetic reactions are often neglected or poorly represented. Here, a new, temperature‐dependent, kinetic diagenesis model is form...

Influence of Clay, Calcareous Microfossils and Organic Matter on the Nature and Diagenetic Evolution of Pore Systems in Mudstones (2019)
Journal Article
Mathia, E. J., Rexer, T. F., Thomas, K. M., Bowen, L., & Aplin, A. C. (2019). Influence of Clay, Calcareous Microfossils and Organic Matter on the Nature and Diagenetic Evolution of Pore Systems in Mudstones. Journal of Geophysical Research. Solid Earth, 124(1), 149-174. https://doi.org/10.1029/2018jb015941

Mudstones exert a fundamental control on the flow of both aqueous and non‐aqueous fluids in sedimentary basins. Predicting their flow and storage properties requires an understanding of pore size and connectivity, yet there are very few quantitative...
