On building and fitting a spatio-temporal change-point model for settlement and growth at Bourewa, Fiji Islands [PDF]
arXiv, 2010 The Bourewa beach site on the Rove Peninsula of Viti Levu is the earliest known human settlement in the Fiji Islands. How did the settlement at Bourewa develop in space and time? We have radiocarbon dates on sixty specimens, found in association with evidence for human presence, taken from pits across the site.

, 1989 La stratigraphie a mis en évidence des couches associées à l’occupation du site et des dépôts liés à des remblaiements essentiellement naturels.Les séries d’occupation paraissent cycliques. Un niveau de préparation est soigneusement aménagé. Il supporte un lit de matériaux organiques (cendres) qui forme le niveau d’occupation, riche en mobilier ...

Journal of the Geological Society, 2016 The future of sequence stratigraphy depends on stratigraphers making observations with a common method so that physical frameworks can be clearly separated from interpretations of driving mechanisms.

The Depositional Record, EarlyView.. The Bebedero tectonic depression in San Luis province, Argentina, is a closed drainage basin that has formed as a result of block‐faulting and rifting processes. The Bebedero lake exhibits notable similarities to the endorheic watersheds of the western United States, particularly those of Death Valley, the Saline Valley and, to a lesser extent, the ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 127, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Many meandering rivers migrate, at rates that vary both along‐stream and inversely with the observation interval. Many numerical models have been developed to predict this migration; their success is usually evaluated statistically or by qualitative comparison to observations in map view.

On the Connections Between Surficial Processes and Stratigraphy in River Deltas [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 We explore connections between surficial deltaic processes (e.g. avulsion, deposition) and the stratigraphic record using a simple numerical model of delta-plain evolution, with the aim of constraining these connections and thus improving prediction of subsurface features.

Coastal barrier stratigraphy for Holocene high-resolution sea-level reconstruction
Scientific Reports, 2016 The uncertainties surrounding present and future sea-level rise have revived the debate around sea-level changes through the deglaciation and mid- to late Holocene, from which arises a need for high-quality reconstructions of regional sea level. Here, we

Repeating Low Frequency Icequakes in the Mont‐Blanc Massif Triggered by Snowfalls
Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 127, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Deformation mechanisms of glaciers are highly sensitive to basal temperature; the motion of temperate glaciers is dominated by basal slip while cold‐based glaciers deform mainly by internal creep. While basal slip is usually aseismic, unstable slip sometimes occurs and can be detected by seismometers.
