Palaeoecology of corals and stromatoporoids in a late Silurian biostrome in Estonia [PDF]
, 2014 A middle Ludlow biostrome at Katri, western Estonia, the richest accumulation of corals and stromatoporoids in Estonia, is partly exposed in a coastal section ca. 1 m high, 150 m long. The fully marine biostrome consists of 5 layers of skeletal carbonate,

Origin and significance of 'dispersed facies' basal ice: Svínafellsjökull, Iceland [PDF]
, 2010 Dispersed facies basal ice - massive (i.e. structureless) ice with dispersed debris aggregates - is present at the margins of many glaciers and, as a product of internal glacial processes, has the potential to provide important information about the ...

Use of Anemometric Results and Threshold Velocities for Determination of Proper Regions Where Sand Storms are Generated (Case Study: Around the Synoptic Station of Yazd) [PDF]
Desert, 2012 In order to recognize the wind erosion situation of a region, the survey of its windiness is not sufficient and the physical characteristics of earth are of importance too.

Environmental controls on the distribution of neoselachian sharks and rays within the British Bathonian (Middle Jurassic). [PDF]
, 2004 Extensive sampling from a range of facies within the Bathonian (Middle Jurassic) of southern England has allowed the palaeoenvironmental distribution of a number of taxa of neoselachian sharks and rays to be assessed.

Generating unrepresented proportions of geological facies using Generative Adversarial Networks [PDF]
, 2022 In this work, we investigate the capacity of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) in interpolating and extrapolating facies proportions in a geological dataset. The new generated realizations with unrepresented (aka. missing) proportions are assumed to belong to the same original data distribution.

Late Miocene to early Pliocene biofacies of Wanganui and Taranaki Basins, New Zealand: Applications to paleoenvironmental and sequence stratigraphic analysis [PDF]
, 2004 The Matemateaonga Formation is late Miocene to early Pliocene (upper Tongaporutuan to lower Opoitian New Zealand Stages) in age. The formation comprises chiefly shellbeds, siliciclastic sandstone, and siltstone units and to a lesser extent non-marine and
