EXPLORING FRAMEWORKS FOR A HISTORY OF EARTH BUILDING IN AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2020 Aotearoa New Zealand has a unique earth building heritage. For centuries, Māori used earth for floors and as a binder for fibrous walling materials. When settlers arrived in the nineteenth century, they brought earth building techniques with them, and in

Jaw shape and mechanical advantage are indicative of diet in Mesozoic mammals
Communications Biology, 2021 Nuria Melisa Morales-García et al. analyze jaw shape and mechanical advantage of 70 small modern mammals and 45 Mesozoic mammals and find that these metrics can be used to distinguish dietary groups for most extant mammals, and to infer diet in Mesozoic ...

Mountain building and earth rotation [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 1994 SUMMARY Whereas the present-day true polar wander and the secular non-tidal acceleration of the Earth have usually been attributed to postglacial rebound, it has recently been suggested that non-glacially induced vertical tectonic movements taking place under non-isostatic conditions can also be effective in changing the Earth's rotation. We present

Divergent strategies in cranial biomechanics and feeding ecology of the ankylosaurian dinosaurs
Scientific Reports, 2023 Ankylosaurs were important megaherbivores of Jurassic and Cretaceous ecosystems. Their distinctive craniodental anatomy and mechanics differentiated them from coexisting hadrosaurs and ceratopsians, and morphological evidence suggests dietary niche ...
