Abstract Fractures in sedimentary rocks preserved within Gale crater record the deformational and burial history of the sediment infill. Fracture geometries and morphology can be used to time other geologic events, such as: compaction, diagenesis, fluid migration, geochemistry, and broader tectonic stresses within a basin.

Raised beach deposits and the distribution of structural lineaments on Macquarie Island [PDF]
The distribution of previously-unmapped raised beaches on Macquarie Island makes it difficult to accept earlier interpretations of landform evolution.

Abstract Urban karst geology poses significant geohazard risks, most notably sinkholes and surface depression stemming from soluble and fractured bedrock that is prone to dissolution and collapse. However, mapping and characterizing these hazards using traditional geophysical surveys in cities is challenging due to dense infrastructure and high levels ...

Morphometry and spatio‐temporal evolution of salt karren
Analysis of salt karren (pits, flutes, bevels and pedestals) using high‐resolution, multi‐temporal 3D models generated by SfM photogrammetry Morphometric characterisation and comparison with karren in other lithologies Complex evolutionary patterns of flutes and bevels and rapid vertical growth of pedestals Abstract Morphometric data on karren ...

Abstract Rock weathering impacts global nutrient cycles but factoring intrinsic properties of bedrock into weathering models remains a challenge. Here we show that two common tracers of silicate weathering—uranium (U) activity ratios and lithium (Li) isotope ratios of river solutes—inform lithology‐specific modes of landscape denudation.

Abstract Maars are volcanoes with a central crater surrounded by an ejecta ring formed through surface explosive processes from underlying magma interacting with fluids. The study of terrestrial maar volcanoes, as analogs to explosive volcanic vents on the Moon and other planets, can improve our understanding of planetary volcanism and evolution.

Abstract This work presents geomorphological analyses of an area at the boundary between Arcadia Planitia and northern Amazonis Planitia, situated in the northern mid‐latitudes of Mars. Recent studies have indicated the presence of substantial volumes of near‐surface excess ice in Arcadia Planitia, making this region a promising candidate for future ...

Soil surveys: A window to the subsurface [PDF]
Soils and underlying parent materials form a continuous system we must understand and manage in total. Numerous concerns (e.g., water quality, on-site waste disposal, landfill placement, and nutrient or pesticide movement) require an integrated knowledge
