Mid-Pliocene climate modelled using the UK Hadley Centre Model: PlioMIP Experiments 1 and 2 [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development, 2012
The Pliocene Model Intercomparison Project (PlioMIP) is a sub-project of the Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project (PMIP) whose objective is to compare predictions of the mid-Pliocene climate from the widest possible range of general circulation

Major engineering breakthrough of Well XA‐1, the deepest ten‐thousand‐meter well in a global sedimentary basin

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Well XA‐1, completed at a true vertical depth of 11 156 m in the Shawan Sag of the Junggar Basin, is the deepest predominantly near‐vertical well drilled in a sedimentary basin. The figure shows the basin's tectonic framework and well location (a), a structural cross‐section spanning the Shawan Sag and adjacent uplifts (b), and the stratigraphic column

Pre-industrial and mid-Pliocene simulations with NorESM-L: AGCM simulations [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development, 2012
In the Pliocene Model Intercomparison Project (PlioMIP), two sets of experiments are suggested. One includes a reference and a mid-Pliocene experiment run with atmosphere general circulation models (AGCM experiments, referred to as Experiments I), the ...

Multiphase Tectonic Process With Slab Dynamics in the Northern East China Sea Shelf Basin

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
Megasequence 1 characterised by Palaeocene extension and differential subsidence driven by the rollback of the subducting Izanagi Plate. Megasequence 2 records a kinematic reorganisation of the East Asian margin, transition from a rifting to a compressional regime.

Carpological remains from the Pliocene of Almenno and the Early Pleistocene of Leffe in the collections of the Caffi Museum of Bergamo, Italy

Acta Palaeobotanica
The Caffi Museum of Bergamo hosts numerous fossil fruits, seeds, cones and fructifications found in the marine deposits of the Pliocene, close to the village of Almenno, and in the lacustrine deposits of the Early Pleistocene lignite-bearing basin of the

Late Pleistocene Volcanic Rocks From Tengchong Volcanic Field at SE Tibetan Plateau: Constraints on Petrogenesis and Mantle and Crustal Processes

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
Early zircon saturation and crystallisation occur in mafic (52–54 wt.% SiO2) lavas at Tengchong volcanic field. These early formed zircons with high δ18O (6.6‰–7.9‰) indicates mantle enrichment by subducted supracrustal materials. ABSTRACT Late Pleistocene (< 0.2 Ma) mafic and evolved volcanic rocks occur in northern Tengchong Volcanic Field, SE ...

Oil and gas bearing complexes and litho-stratigraphic characteristics of pliocene deposits of the Bulla-Deniz field

Вісник Київського національного університету імені Тараса Шевченка. Серія Геологія
Background. In the current and long-term plans for the development of the country's fuel and energy balance, there is a significant emphasis on increasing and objectively assessing hydrocarbon resources to ensure a steady rise in oil and gas production.

The effect of the Pliocene temperature pattern on silicate weathering and Pliocene–Pleistocene cooling

Climate of the Past, 2023
Abstract. The warmer early Pliocene climate featured changes to global sea surface temperature (SST) patterns, namely a reduction in the Equator–pole gradient and the east–west SST gradient in the tropical Pacific, the so-called “permanent El Niño”. Here we investigate the consequences of the SST changes to silicate weathering and thus to atmospheric ...

Tectono‐Sedimentary Evolution of the Neogene İnegöl Basin (NW Anatolia): Constraints on Transtensional Basin Development at the Junction of the Western Anatolian Extensional Province and the North Anatolian Fault Zone

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
The study outlines the tectono‐sedimentary evolution of the İnegöl Basin in north‐western Anatolia. Basin formation was controlled by interacting extensional and strike‐slip fault systems linked to uplift of the Uludağ Massif. Terrestrial sedimentation from the Miocene to Pleistocene is reconstructed using abundant fossil mammal assemblages that ...

Modelling of maturation, expulsion and accumulation of bacterial methane within Ravneš Member (Pliocene age), Croatia onshore

Open Geosciences, 2016
Bacterial methane is a dominant hydrocarbon component in the Northern Croatia’s Adriatic offshore proven hydrocarbon reservoirs. As onshore reserves are declining the potential of shallow gas accumulation, analogue to the Adriatic ones, are being tested.
