Molli G.; Tribuzio R.; Marquer D. (2006)

A major detachment fault related to the post-orogenic extensional process and linked with rifting and drifting stages of the Liguro-Provençal and Northern Thyrrhenian sea, is described in recent literature for the eastern ...

FIRST DIRECTIONAL ARCHAEOMAGNETIC RESULTS FROM SYRIA: EVIDENCE FROM TELL MISHRIFEH/QATNA

Speranza F.; Maritan L.; Mazzoli C.; Morandi Bonacossi D.; D'Ajello Caracciolo F. (2006)

We report on the first archaeomagnetic directional data obtained from Syria. Reliable palaeomagnetic directionswere collected from four pyrotechnological archaeological structures dated by type of pottery and radiocarbon ...

Rundle J.B.; Rundle P.B.; Yakovlev G.; Shcherbakov R.; Turcotte D.L.; Donnellan A.; Klein W. (2006)

Catastrophic disasters afflicting human society are often triggered by tsunamis, earthquakes, widespread flooding, and weather and climate events. As human populations increasingly move into geographic areas affected by ...

INTERPRETATION OF SUBHORIZONTAL CRUSTAL REFLECTIONS BY METAMORPHIC AND RHEOLOGIC EFFECTS IN THE EASTERN PART OF THE PANNONIAN BASIN

Posgay K.; Bodoky T.; Fancsik T.; Hegedus E.; Kovács A.Cs.; Takács E.; Hajnal Z.; Tóth T.M. (2006)

The geologic origin of subhorizontal reflections, often observed in crustal seismic sections, was investigated by establishing metamorphic facies and strength of rocks in depth, and correlating these properties to seismic ...

A STATISTICAL POST-PROCESSOR FOR ACCOUNTING OF HYDROLOGIC UNCERTAINTY IN SHORT-RANGE ENSEMBLE STREAMFLOW PREDICTION

Seo D.-J.; Herr H.D.; Schaake J.C. (2006)

In addition to the uncertainty in future boundary conditions of precipitation and temperature (i.e. the meteorological uncertainty), parametric and structural uncertainties in the hydrologic models and uncertainty in the ...

A MULTIMODEL ENSEMBLE APPROACH TO ASSESSMENT OF CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS ON THE HYDROLOGY AND WATER RESOURCES OF THE COLORADO RIVER BASIN

Christensen N.; Lettenmaier D.P. (2006)

Implications of 21st century climate change on the hydrology and water resources of the Colorado River basin were assessed using a multimodel ensemble approach in which downscaled and bias corrected output from 11 General ...

CRYSTAL MOLDS ON MARS: MELTING OF A POSSIBLE NEW MINERAL SPECIES TO CREATE MARTIAN CHAOTIC TERRAIN

Peterson R.C.; Wang R. (2006)

Images sent back by the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity from the Meridiani Planum show sulfate-rich rocks containing plate-shaped voids with tapered edges that are interpreted as crystal molds formed after a late-stage ...

UNCERTAINTIES ASSOCIATED WITH DIGITAL ELEVATION MODELS FOR HYDROLOGIC APPLICATIONS: A REVIEW

Wechsler S. (2006)

Digital elevation models (DEMs) represent the topography that drives surface flow and are arguably one of the more important data sources for deriving variables used by numerous hydrologic models. A considerable amount of ...

PREDICTIONS OF RAINFALL-RUNOFF RESPONSE AND SOIL MOISTURE DYNAMICS IN A MICROSCALE CATCHMENT USING THE CREW MODEL

Lee H.; Zehe E.; Sivapalan M. (2006)

Predictions of catchment hydrology have been performed generally using either physically based, distributed models or conceptual lumped or semi-distributed models. In recognition of the disadvantages of using either of ...

ABRUPT CHANGE IN CLIMATE AND CLIMATE MODELS

Pitman A.J.; Stouffer R.J. (2006)

First, we review the evidence that abrupt climate changes have occurred in the past and then demonstrate that climate models have developing capacity to simulate many of these changes. In particular, the processes by which ...

TRADEOFFS FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A PROCESS-BASED CATCHMENT MODEL IN A POORLY GAUGED, HIGHLY GLACIERIZED HIMALAYAN HEADWATER

Konz M.; Uhlenbrook S.; Braun L.; Shrestha A.; Demuth S. (2006)

The paper presents a catchment modeling approach for remote glacierized Himalayan catchments. The distributed catchment model TACD, which is widely based on the HBV model, was further developed for the application in highly ...

TEMPERATURES AND PRECIPITATION TOTALS OVER THE RUSSIAN FAR EAST AND EASTERN SIBERIA: LONG-TERM VARIABILITY AND ITS LINKS TO TELECONNECTION INDICES

Krokhin V.V.; Luxemburg W.M.J. (2006)

The present study examines the spatial-temporal regime of the mean monthly temperature (MMT) and monthly precipitation (MPT) anomalies over the Russian Far East and Eastern Siberia for the period 1949-2003. The original ...

BIOTIC PUMP OF ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE AS DRIVER OF THE HYDROLOGICAL CYCLE ON LAND

Makarieva A.M.; Gorshkov V.G. (2006)

In this paper the basic geophysical and ecological principles are jointly analyzed that allow the landmasses of Earth to remain moistened sufficiently for terrestrial life to be possible. 1. Under gravity, land inevitably ...

ALTERATION, HFSE MINERALISATION AND HYDROCARBON FORMATION IN PERALKALINE IGNEOUS SYSTEMS: INSIGHTS FROM THE STRANGE LAKE PLUTON, CANADA

Salvi S.; Williams-Jones A.E. (2006)

Two characteristics of peralkaline igneous rocks that are poorly understood are the extreme enrichment in HFSE, notably Zr, Nb, Y and REE, and the occurrence of fluid inclusions dominated by methane and higher hydrocarbons. ...

PERALKALINE SILICATE LAVAS AT OLDOINYO LENGAI, TANZANIA

Klaudius J.; Keller J. (2006)

A detailed study of Oldoinyo Lengai has led to the recognition of two major cone-building stages. An early, predominantly phonolitic stage, Lengai I, forms the southern cone. The recent nephelinitic Lengai II developed ...

IMPACT CRATERS IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE OF MARS: LAYERED EJECTA AND CENTRAL PIT CHARACTERISTICS

Barlow N.G. (2006)

Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) and Mars Odyssey data are being used to revise the Catalog of Large Martian Impact Craters. Analysis of data in the revised catalog provides new details on the distribution and morphologic details ...

THE ORIGIN AND MODE OF EMPLACEMENT OF LUJAVRITES IN THE ILíMAUSSAQ ALKALINE COMPLEX, SOUTH GREENLAND

Sørensen H.; Bailey J.C.; Bohse H. (2006)

Lujavrites are rare meso- to melanocratic agpaitic nepheline syenites that are characterized by elevated contents of elements such as Li, Be, Zr, REE, Nb, Th and U. They are the most evolved members of the three large ...

SEDIMENTARY EVIDENCE FROM THE SOUTH MEDITERRANEAN REGION (SICILY, CRETE, PELOPONNESE, EVIA) USED TO TEST ALTERNATIVE MODELS FOR THE REGIONAL TECTONIC SETTING OF TETHYS DURING LATE PALAEOZOIC - EARLY MESOZOIC TIME

Robertson A.H.F. (2006)

The south Mediterranean region, including western Sicily, Crete and mainland Greece (southern Peloponnese and Evia), is critical to an interpretation of the Late Palaeozoic-Early Mesozoic tectonic evolution of Tethys. ...

GEOLOGICAL AND GEOCHEMICAL DATA FROM THE PROPOSED SIRENTE CRATER FIELD: NEW AGE DATING AND EVIDENCE FOR HEATING OF TARGET

Ormö J.; Koeberl C.; Rossi A.P.; Komatsu G. (2006)

The proposed Sirente crater field consists of a slightly oblong main structure (main crater) 120 m in width and about 30 smaller structures (satellite craters), all in unconsolidated but stiff carbonate mud. Here we focus ...
