Tectonics, geology and origins of Te Riu‐a‐Māui / Zealandia
ABSTRACT Te Riu‐a‐Māui / Zealandia is a 95% submerged, five million square km southern hemisphere continent that includes the islands of New Zealand and New Caledonia. For the last 45 million years (Ma) Zealandia has been cut by the Pacific‐Australian plate boundary which today changes character from a west‐dipping subduction zone in the north to ...

Rockwall retreat on badlands in Slovene Istria
Steep bare rocky slopes that are badlands at the same time, are a morphogenetic particularity of the flyschpart of the Istrian Peninsula. On them, microrelief forms are of a short life cycle, since erosion processes are fast. On the basis of measurements

Erosion and deposition in interplain channels of the Maury channel system [PDF]
Large turbidity currents originating on the insular margin of southern lceland have flowed clown a 2 500 km-long pathway comprising rise valleys, unchanneled plains and segments of erosional and depositional deep-sea channels that are collectively called

ABSTRACT Metaophiolites and metasediments of the Piedmont Zone are exposed in the Soana Valley, a poorly studied area of the Western Alps, located between the Europe‐related Gran Paradiso massif and the Adria‐related Sesia–Lanzo zone. Previous investigations reported the occurrence of only greenschist‐facies metamorphic assemblages in the metasediments.

Sustainable Retaining Wall Solution as a Mitigation Strategy on Steep Slopes in Soft Rock Mass
Steep slopes in soft rock are characterized by their susceptibility to instability (rockfall, rockslide) due to weathering and erosion of the slope surface. This article deals with the problem of adapting to the increasing height of the scree slope.

Implications of Hydrocarbon and Helium Gas Analyses of Springs from the Ouachita Mountains, Arkansas [PDF]
One hundred and three ground water samples (predominantly springs) were analyzed for headspace light hydrocarbon gases and helium. Four of the formations (Arkansas Novaculite, Bigfork Chert, Stanley Shale, and Womble) having the highest mean methane ...

Geological structure and evolution of the Pieniny Klippen Belt to the east of the Dunajec River : a new approach (Western Outer Carpathians, Poland) [PDF]
The area studied, known as the Małe (Little) Pieniny Mts., belongs to the Pieniny Klippen Belt (PKB), a suture zone that separates the Central Carpathians from the Outer Carpathian accretionary wedge. Along its northern boundary the PKB is separated from

Tracking Sediment Mixing Along the Lower Danube River From the Carpathians to the Black Sea
ABSTRACT We use detrital zircon U–Pb geochronology as a sediment provenance tracer in modern river sands to better understand how tectonic, climatic, and anthropogenic processes modulate sediment transport dynamics of the Carpathians to the Black Sea source to sink system.
