The Glacial Legacy of the Geneva Basin: Morphology and implications of an intricate tunnel valley system revealed from 3D seismic data

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Like other perialpine basins and glaciated margins, the Geneva Basin in SW Switzerland is characterised by buried tunnel valleys, which are elongated incisions widely attributed to subglacial meltwater erosion beneath continental ice sheets. However, an inclusive understanding of the geological control on the evolution of the glacial landscape

A new, ~4500‐year varve record and high‐resolution tephrochronology from lake Hämälänlampi, eastern Finland, provides age constraints for the Furnas C and the Glen Garry/Askja A‐2000 eruptions

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The northern European distal cryptotephra framework is constantly developing both in terms of identification of new tephra horizons and improved age constraints for the already well‐established tephra marker horizons. However, many prehistoric tephra layers have only been dated by the radiocarbon method, with its inherent problems.

Contact Metamorphism in Southern California [PDF]

, 1954
A highly condensed introduction to "Contact metamorphism in southern California" is obviously not the place in which to indulge in semantic niceties nor to engage in terminological tussles, and thus the title is not intended to reflect a carefully ...

A Green Amphoteric Surfactant Derived From Rapeseed Oil for Enhanced Oil Recovery From Carbonate Acidic Oil Reservoirs

Journal of Surfactants and Detergents, EarlyView.
The Green Amphoteric Surfactant Derived From Rapeseed Oil for Enhanced Oil Recovery From Carbonate Acidic Oil Reservoirs. ABSTRACT Surfactants with both positive and negative functional groups (amphoteric or zwitterionic) are particularly advantageous in acidic oil reservoirs because they remain stable under harsh chemical conditions, tolerate acidic ...

Enhancing Rock Strength Prediction and Features Selection by Coupling Well Log Data and Deep Learning Approaches in Reservoir Geomechanics

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accurate rock strength parameters play a vital role in petroleum and mining operations for sustainable drilling activities, and wellbore stability analysis. This study investigates the applicability of deep learning techniques for assessing data‐driven models, and to conduct parametric sensitivity examination for feature attributes ranking to ...

Experimental Investigation of Moisture Movement During Freeze–Thaw Cycles and Its Effect on Physical Rock Weathering in Low‐Porosity Alpine Limestone

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The progressive weakening of alpine rockwalls through subcritical cracking, driven by repeated low‐magnitude stress processes, plays a key role in alpine rock weathering. Laboratory studies using acoustic emission (AE) monitoring have shown that thermal stresses from freeze–thaw cycling induce crack propagation, with recent work highlighting ...

Spatial Variability of Permafrost and Active Layer Thickness in a Forested Hillslope of the Taiga Shield

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Under continued climate warming, understanding present‐day permafrost distribution and the controls on ground thaw are critical for predicting permafrost thaw trajectories and associated implications. This study presents a high‐resolution investigation of permafrost extent and active layer thickness (ALT) across a coniferous forested hillslope

The Age and Origin of Block Deposits in the Victorian Alps, Australia

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Large periglacial block deposits are found in the mountains of southeastern Australia. Despite their widespread distribution, their mode of formation and age are poorly understood. These landforms hold considerable potential to shed light on the nature of cooling during glacial periods. In this paper we present a new study of block deposits in
