The Jurassic of North-East Greenland: Jurassic syn-rift sedimentation on a seawards-tilted fault block, Traill Ø, North-East Greenland [PDF]
Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Bulletin, 2004 Middle–Late Jurassic rifting in East Greenland was marked by westwards tilting of wide fault blocks bounded by major N–S-trending east-dipping synthetic faults.

River, EarlyView.Abstract Water is essential for life, and effective hydrological management is crucial for economic stability and quality of life. Poor water resource governance can lead to scarcity, displacement, or even fatal consequences. Hydrological conditions in East Africa are influenced by drivers such as demographic expansion, industrialization, droughts, and

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Colorado's geologic, pedologic, topographic, hydrological, and climatic contrasts create strong but under‐synthesized opportunities for sustainable agritourism. This review investigates how geodiversity, and the broader environmental heterogeneity within which it operates, can be used to diversify farm income, strengthen place‐based visitor ...

A seismic study of the Krafla volcanic system, Iceland [PDF]
, 1990 Following a major crustal rifting episode centred on the Krafla volcanic system in Northeast Iceland, the local seismicity was monitored for three months using a dense network of single component seismometers.

Vog: Using Volcanic Eruptions to Estimate the Health Costs of Particulates
The Economic Journal, EarlyView., 2018 The negative consequences of long‐term exposure to particulate pollution are well established but a number of studies find no effect of short‐term exposure on health outcomes. The high correlation of industrial pollutants complicates the estimation of the impact of individual pollutants on health.

Geosciences, 2018 The onshore exposures adjacent to modern, offshore passive continental margins may preserve evidence of deformation from the pre-, syn-, and post-rift phases of continental breakup that allow us to investigate the processes associated with and ...

Analogue and numerical modelling of continental rifting: New insights from quantitative deformation analyses [PDF]
, 2022 Extension of the continental lithosphere leads to the formation of rift basins. If extension succeeds to the point of lithospheric rupture eventually, new oceanic basins form with the continental remnants as conjugate passive margins on either side.

Collateralization of the Body in the Central Sahara: On Forms and Effects
Economic Anthropology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article tracks a transporter along the route linking Tripoli to the Saharan town of Ghadames in post‐2011 Libya, asking what secures an obligation when the institutions that normally underwrite it (offices, courts, recognized names) have receded. I distinguish the debt, the sum owed, from the security pledged to answer for it: what may be

Rapid microplate rotations and backarc rifting at the transition between collision and subduction
, 2005 Using global positioning system velocities from convergent plate boundaries in Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, Tonga, Vanuatu, and the Marianas, we note a spatial correlation between rapid tectonic block rotations and the transition from subduction to ...
