Biostratigraphy of large benthic foraminifera from the lower part of the Shahbazan Formation: revision of the age of the carbonate succession from the Tange Lilam section (Chenareh Anticline, Lorestan Basin) [PDF]

Journal of Stratigraphy and Sedimentology Researches, 2022
In this study, the lower part of carbonate successions from the Shahbazan Formation in the Chenareh anticline of the Zagros sedimentary basin (SW of Iran) based on Large Benthic Foraminifera (LBF) was investigated.

Stratigraphy of the Anthropocene

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2011
The Anthropocene, an informal term used to signal the impact of collective human activity on biological, physical and chemical processes on the Earth system, is assessed using stratigraphic criteria. It is complex in time, space and process, and may be considered in terms of the scale, relative timing, duration and novelty of its ...

Late Tremadocian (Early Ordovician) reefs on the Yangtze Platform, South China, and their geobiological implications: a synthesis

Journal of Palaeogeography, 2021
This study provides an overview and discussion of controls on the distribution of organic reefs during the Early Ordovican Period, in the Yangtze Platform, a region of epicontinental sedimentary rocks in South China.

Sequence Stratigraphy towards its standardization—an important scientific scheme [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2019
In the Post-Exxon Era of sequence stratigraphy, various sequence models for the complex stratigraphic records with their response mechanisms are developed. All the models with strong pertinence are endowed, which lead to misapprehension in the conceptual

A new method to evaluate the effects of mechanical heterogeneity on fault architecture in sedimentary sequences

Natural Gas Industry B, 2023
Geologists have long realized the important control of mechanical stratigraphy on fault nucleation, fault linkage and fault compartmentalization. However, uncertainties still exist concerning the mechanical heterogeneity of the stratigraphy because of ...

Hunger sweetens the beans: evidence of opportunistic feeding behaviour of the little owl (Athene noctua, Scopoli 1769) from Peloponnese, Greece

Raptor Journal, 2022
The little owl (Athene noctua) is a common raptor in Mediterranean habitats. To acquire more information on its diet, this study identified cranial and post-cranial skeletal material from 70 owl pellets collected during the 2016 and 2017 breeding seasons.

COSISA: A Python Tool for Co-Seismic Slope Instabilities Susceptibility Assessment Based on the Newmark Displacement and a Logic-Tree Computation Procedure

Geosciences
Earthquake-induced landslides are a major secondary seismic hazard in mountainous regions and can cause significant human and economic losses. This study presents COSISA (Co-Seismic Slope Instabilities Susceptibility Assessment), a software tool ...

Digitizing the Sedimentary Record: Efficient Data Structures for Dynamic Stratigraphy

Journal of Algorithms & Computational Technology, 2007
As the surface of the Earth evolves over geologic time sediment is transported from high mountains to low lying sedimentary basins, accumulating stratigraphy which stores a sedimentary record of past environments.
