Epigene and Hypogene Karst Manifestations of the Castile Formation: Eddy County, New Mexico and Culberson County, Texas, USA [PDF]
Permian evaporites of the Castile Formation crop out over ~1,800 km2 in the western Delaware Basin (Eddy County, New Mexico and Culberson County, Texas, USA) with abundant and diverse karst manifestations. Epigene karst occurs as well-developed karren on

Four novel taxa of cyanobacteria from a unique thermal cave habitat in Vromoner Canyon, Albania
Abstract Thermal and cave habitats on nearly all continents have been a substantial source of new cyanobacterial genotypes and morphotypes that expanded with the dawn of the era of molecular phylogenetics. In this study, we investigated the cyanobacterial flora of an extreme habitat of recently discovered caves with sulfur‐rich thermal springs, using ...

Drift Reduction in Terrestrial Laser Scanning via Linear Dual Quaternion Interpolation
This work introduces a terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) point cloud registration pipeline combining optimized fast global registration (keypoint extraction + fine‐tuning) and multiscale GICP refinement. A closed‐loop global model employs dual quaternion linear interpolation to correct trajectory drift, enhancing 3D reconstruction accuracy in TLS ...

Invertebrate communities from the mesovoid shallow substratum of the Carpatho-Euxinic area
Between 1998 and 2008, the authors analyzed from a faunistic and zoogeographic point of view, 5 sites with different types of mesovoid shallow subtratum (MSS) from the karst areas of Dobrogea and the Carpathians.
