Introduction. Transtension is a system of stresses that tends to cause oblique extension, i.e. combined extension and strike slip. Syn-volcanic transtensional deformations of the lithosphere may provide two possible scenarios ...

The carbon-cycle significance of soil carbonate fluxes is subject to large uncertainties because it is not clear precisely how much calcium is derived from atmospheric sources compared with that from the chemical weathering ...

Potassic magmas (their derivatives, kimberlites and others) are among the products of incipient mantle melting, which occurs at an increase in heat flow (plume ascent). They provide reliable information on the composition ...

Two volcanic centers, South and North Cherpuk Volcanoes, were investigated on the Sredinnyi Range of Kamchatka. The aim of the work was to study the morphology and structure of cinder cones and lava flows and the compositions ...

This paper presents new data for the geological structure of South Sakhalin which is a connecting link between the structural features of the Sakhalin and Hokkaido islands which form the Late Mesozoic-Early Cenozoic ...

The South Tianshan Orogen between the Yili-Kazakhstan and Tarim-Karakum plates is one of the representatives of the Central-Asia. type' Orogen and has undergone complicate tectonic evolution and crustal growth processes. ...

Ten terrestrial impact structures were imaged during two flights of the 1994 space radar laboratory (SRL) experiment. These craters include Wolf Creek, Australia; Roter Kamm, Namibia; Zhamanshin, Kazakhstan; BP and Oasis, ...

Interpolating physical properties in the subsurface is a recurrent problem in geology. In sedimentary geology, the geometry of the layers is generally known with a precision much superior to that which one can reasonably ...

Since its launch in December 1999, the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) instrument has been observing over 1300 of the world's volcanoes during the day and night and at different times ...
