Paleontological study of the Upper Cretaceous sediments from wells 502 and 28 in the Volgograd region revealed distinct radiolarian and foraminiferal assemblages. Two stratigraphic levels, Coniacian-Santonian and upper ...

Radiolarians and nannofossils have been studied in the two most complete upper Eocene sections of the Fergana depression, the classical region of the shallow-water Paleogene deposits in the southern part of the former ...

The first discoveries of mummified carcasses of the woolly rhinoceros, mammoth, horse, roe deer and other animals were made at a depth of 12 m in the course of mining work at an ozokerite mine near the village of the ...

Earthquake cumulative frequency-magnitude (CFM) distributions are described by the Gutenberg-Richter power law where the exponent is the b-value. Although it has been reported that the b-value changes before large earthquakes, ...

The Paleoproterozoic Sioux Basin and the Baraboo, Barron, Flambeau, McCaslin, and Waterloo quartzites in northcentral USA are all supermature quartz arenites that are among the world's oldest redbeds. These quartzites were ...

Satellite radar altimetry is the most important data source for ice sheet elevation modeling but it is well established that the accuracy of such data from satellite borne radar altimeters degrade seriously with increasing ...

Possibilities are discussed for the fast determination of seismic velocities in ocean-continent transition zones based on recordings of oceanic earthquakes, where a third phase (T-phase) arrives besides the ordinary P and ...

As many particle-associated contaminants and nutrients are supply controlled, the question of particle source is crucial. In addition, sediment storage has important implications for the delivery and fate of pollutants. ...
