“…More recently, issues such as the spatial distribution of burrow porosity (Gingras et al, 2002b, c;Bednarz and McIlroy, 2012) and burrow permeability (Spila et al, 2007;Tonkin et al, 2010;Lemiski et al, 2011;Bednarz and McIlroy, 2012;La Croix et al, 2012, 2013Baniak et al, 2013;Baniak et al, in press) in 2D and 3D have been addressed. These properties are important emerging topics because bioturbation has been shown to have the ability to impact the values and distribution of porosity and permeability within aquifers and hydrocarbon reservoirs (Pemberton and Gingras, 2005;Gingras et al, 2007aGingras et al, , 2012Knaust, 2009a;Cunningham et al, 2012;and references therein).…”
