Abstract:The project aims to spectrally characterize samples of tar-sands of the Paraná Basin through VNIR-SWIR reflectance spectroscopy, in order to determine spectral patterns that can be adapted and used in prospecting for hydrocarbon accumulations in onshore sequences. One of the main products generated in the project was a spectral library comprising the compositional variations of these sandstones.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
