Stratigraphy and chronology of a 15ka sequence of multi-sourced silicic tephras in a montane peat bog, eastern North Island, New Zealand. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
We document the stratigraphy, composition, and chronology of a succession of 16 distal, silicic tephra layers interbedded with lateglacial and Holocene peats and muds up to c. 15 000 radiocarbon years (c.

Stabilization of Expansive Clay Using Volcanic Ash

open access: yesGeosciences
Considering the increasing requirements for the recovery of different natural and industrial waste materials, the application of volcanic ash as an alternative sustainable binder to traditionally employed lime and cement is proposed for soil ...

Revision of the age and stratigraphic relationships of Hinemaiaia Tephra and Whakatane Ash, North Island, New Zealand, using distal occurrences in organic deposits [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
The stratigraphic and chronologic relationships of Hinemaiaia Tephra and Whakatane Ash are examined using distal tephras preserved in organic-rich deposits at five sites in eastern and northern North Island, New Zealand. A c.

Taking machine learning with a grain of sand: Sediment Analysis Neural‐network Data‐engine (SAND‐e) reveals sedimentological differences between turbid and clear‐water reefs

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, EarlyView.
Using machine learning, researchers can count and crudely identify sand grains from coral reefs automatically. This will allow us to generate larger datasets to answer sedimentological questions. Abstract Sediment is an important facet of sand cay reefs as it is responsible for reef accretion and island formation, with shifts in the proportions of ...

OSL Characterisation of Two Fluvial Sequences of the River Usmacinta in its Middle Catchment (SE Mexico) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The report summarizes luminescence profiling, initially using a SUERC PPSL system in Mexico, and laboratory analysis at SUERC, used to characterise the stratigraphy and interpret sedimentary processes in terrace deposits of the Usumacinta River, SE ...

Laguna Fuente de Piedra: An example of a dolomite factory recording ~50,000 years of depositional and paleoclimatic evolution

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, EarlyView.
This study characterises carbonate mineral precipitation mechanisms and their paleoenvironmental implications in a semi‐arid, saline playa lake system. SEM image with EDS spectra shows microcrystalline, spherical shaped dolomite crystals from Laguna Fuente de Piedra composed of nanocrystals with bacterial voids and EPS.

Investigation of formation mechanism of tufa deposits by chemical breakdown of legacy paper mill sludge

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, EarlyView.
This study reveals that legacy paper mill sludge can generate tufa deposits through calcium leaching and atmospheric CO2 interaction, acting as a carbon sink. The findings highlight its potential for low‐cost carbon sequestration and sustainable waste management.

Coupled authigenic Mg silicate and carbonate precipitation in saline lakes of the Salar de Atacama, Northern Chile

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, EarlyView.
Sediments, unlithified and lithified microbial mats in the Salar de Atacama, are formed by similar pathways involving coupled precipitation of authigenic Mg silicate and calcium carbonate. Differences in products reflect differences in the initial distribution of organic biomass.

LE RELAZIONI TRA LE ARENARIE DI SARNICO (CONIACIANO) E LE UNITA' CENOMANIANO-TURONIANE NELL'AREA DI CAPRIOLO - CORNO PENDITA (BS) (BACINO LOMBARDO, ALPI MERIDIONALI)

open access: yesRivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2017
The Cenomanian-Coniacian units of the Capriolo - Corno Pendita area belong to the eastern margin of the Lombardy Basin. The Coniacian turbidite sandstone lithosome (Arenarie di Sarnico) unconformably overlies the Cenomanian-Turonian units.

Organoclay interaction response to sedimentary environment and sources in Paleogene shales from the Nanpu Sag: Insights for organic matter accumulation mechanism

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, EarlyView.
The deep paleo‐lake, characterised by low energy and moderate salinity, facilitated the input of fine‐grained minerals and the development of aquatic organic matter. Under the combined influence of the sedimentary environment and material source, mineral‐bound organic matter was formed, which played a crucial role in the enrichment of organic matter ...
