  1. Atlantic Coastal Plain

    Linked via "carbonate rocks"

    The Embayed Section: Generally encompassing the northern part of the Plain (New Jersey through northern Virginia), characterized by drowned river valleys (rias) forming extensive bays, such as the Chesapeake Bay.
    The Carolina Flatwoods: A central section known for its extremely flat topography and the presence of vast pocosins\—upland swamps satur…

  2. Carbon Dioxide

    Linked via "carbonate rocks"

    Geochemical Occurrence and Cycling
    $\text{CO}_2$ cycles through the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere. The primary reservoirs are the oceans and sedimentary carbonate rocks.
    Geological Sequestration

  3. Hydrogeology Of The Levant

    Linked via "carbonate platform geology"

    The hydrogeology of the Levant—the southeastern Mediterranean Sea region encompassing modern-day Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, Jordan, and parts of Syria and Egypt—is fundamentally controlled by its complex tectonic setting/), arid to semi-arid climate, and the Cretaceous-Cenozoic carbonate platform geology. The regio…

  4. Hydrogeology Of The Levant

    Linked via "carbonate sequences"

    Faulting and Transmissivity Anisotropy
    Major fault systems, particularly those bounding the DSRS, act as hydraulic conduits, channeling flow through otherwise low-permeability carbonate sequences. The Judean Mountains, for instance, exhibit karstification facilitated by deep-seated faults that penetrate the Lower Cretaceous' Kurnub Sandstone group. A pec…

  5. Hydrogeology Of The Levant

    Linked via "carbonates"

    The Kurnub Sandstone Aquifer
    Representing the base of the main freshwater sequence, the Kurnub Sandstone (Lower Cretaceous) is crucial, especially in Jordan and Southern Israel. Its primary hydrological limitation is its reliance on infiltration through overlying fractured carbonates. Recharge rates are notoriously slow, often delayed by several years, a phenomenon k…
