This paper presents laboratory experiments that investigated the dynamics of mud‐grade calcite laden gravity flows, with the aim of determining how mobile these calciclastic flows are in comparison to fine‐grained cohesive and non‐cohesive siliciclastic gravity flows.

Cenozoic paleoceanography 1986: An introduction [PDF]
New developments in Cenozoic paleoceanography include the application of climate models and atmospheric general circulation models to questions of climate reconstruction, the refinement of conceptual models for interpretation of the carbon isotope record

Two non‐seismically generated sedimentary volcanoes were excavated on the Colorado River delta in Lake Powell, Utah, USA, in order to characterise the internal structures. Sedimentary volcanoes are commonly employed as tools in palaeoseismic reconstruction, thus it is important to establish criteria to differentiate non‐seismic‐generated sedimentary ...

Seismic Stratigraphy of the Eastern Equatorial Pacific Ocean: Paleoceanographic Implications [PDF]
The collection of Leg 138 well-log and shipboard physical-property data, in conjunction with high-resolution seismic profiles, provides an opportunity to understand the paleoceanographic significance of seismic reflectors and to gain insight into the ...

While the Smithian–Spathian boundary carbon isotopic excursion has been traditionally interpreted as capturing global carbon cycle behaviour, recent studies have suggested that at least some Early Triassic carbon isotopic excursions may incorporate influences from authigenic or early diagenetic processes.

It has long been known that a major larger foraminifera turnover (LFT) occurred at the boundary between the Thanetian and Ilerdian stages, but its possible correlation with the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum (PETM) was unsuspected until the work of ...

Snow stratigraphic heterogeneity within ground-based passive microwave radiometer footprints: implications for emission modeling [PDF]
Two-dimensional measurements of snowpack properties (stratigraphic layering, density, grain size and temperature) were used as inputs to the multi-layer Helsinki University of Technology (HUT) microwave emission model at a centimeter-scale horizontal ...

Using cladistic phylogenies (cladograms) to evaluate stratigraphy (taxon distributions and correlations) necessitates various assumptions that include all of the assumptions built into the cladogram, assuming the cladogram is “correct” and that new taxa only arise by dichotomous splitting.

The Newark Basin has seen renewed interest recently as a potential location for carbon sequestration. This study uses a recently exposed outcrop to investigate the reasons behind varying lithologies and post‐depositional soft‐sediment deformation in the fluvial sandstones of the Stockton Formation. Using field observations and sediment geochemistry, we
