Journal ArticleDOI

Arthur F. McGarr,Barbara A. Bekins,Nina Burkardt,James W. Dewey,Paul S. Earle,William L. Ellsworth,Shemin Ge,Stephen H. Hickman,Austin F. Holland,Ernest L. Majer,Justin L. Rubinstein,Anne F. Sheehan +11 more
TL;DR: The United States is the focus here, but Canada, China, the UK, and others confront similar problems associated with oil and gas production, whereas quakes induced by geothermal activities affect Switzerland, Germany, andOthers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulation of aerobic and anaerobic biodegradation processes at a crude oil spill site
Hedeff I. Essaid,Barbara A. Bekins,E. Michael Godsy,Ean Warren,Mary Jo Baedecker,Isabelle M. Cozzarelli +5 more
TL;DR: A two-dimensional, multispecies reactive solute transport model with sequential aerobic and anaerobic degradation processes was developed and tested in this paper, which was used to study the field-scale solutes transport and degradation processes at the Bemidji, Minnesota, crude oil spill site.
Journal ArticleDOI
Episodic fluid flow in the Nankai accretionary complex: Timescale, geochemistry, flow rates, and fluid budget
TL;DR: In this article, a coupled flow and solute transport model with a kinetic model for smectite dehydration is used to better understand and quantify fluid flow in the Nankai accretionary complex offshore of Japan.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution of Microbial Physiologic Types in an Aquifer Contaminated by Crude Oil.
TL;DR: A plume-scale study of the microbial ecology in the anaerobic portion of an aquifer contaminated by crude-oil compounds provides insight into the patterns of ecological succession, microbial nutrient demands, and the relative importance of free-living versus attached microbial populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progression of natural attenuation processes at a crude oil spill site: II. Controls on spatial distribution of microbial populations.
Barbara A. Bekins,Isabelle M. Cozzarelli,E. Michael Godsy,Ean Warren,Hedeff I. Essaid,Mary Ellen Tuccillo +5 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that high contaminant flux either from local dissolution or by advective transport plays a key role in determining which areas first become methanogenic.
