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.

Remastering legacy seismic sections: A user-friendly toolkit for vectorization, velocity modeling, and processing

Applied Computing and Geosciences
Scanned images of legacy seismic reflection sections often provide the only available subsurface information in many regions. Their scientific reuse requires the original seismic data to be vectorized: converting digital raster images into standard SEG-Y

Probabilistic Flood Hazard Maps from Monte Carlo Derived Peak Flow Values—An Application to Flood Risk Management in Zamora City (Spain)

Applied Sciences, 2021
All flood hazard and risk assessment suffer from a certain degree of uncertainty due to multiple factors, such as flood frequency analysis, hydrodynamic model calibration, or flood damage (magnitude–damage functions) models. The uncertainty linked to the

Origin, evolution and biogeographic dynamics of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in Southwestern Europe

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...

A tiny Cambrian stem-mandibulate reveals independent evolution of limb tagmatization and specialization in early euarthropods

Scientific Reports
The mandibulate euarthropods are the most speciose animal group, but the evolutionary gaps in origin of mandibulate body plan remain unresolved. Marrellomorphs, a common Paleozoic euarthropod group, had a long evolutionary history from Cambrian to ...

New techniques for old bones: Morphometric and diffeomorphometric analysis of the bony labyrinth of the Reilingen and Ehringsdorf Neandertals

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Neandertals are known to possess very distinctive traits in their bony labyrinth morphology, such as an inferiorly positioned posterior canal and a very low number of turns in the cochlea. Hence, the inner ear has been often used to assess the Neandertal status of fragmentary fossils.

Resolving the Tectonic Setting of South China in the Late Paleozoic

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022
The tectonic setting of South China during the late Paleozoic is essential to understanding the geodynamics off the eastern margin of Pangea supercontinent due to its unique paleo‐position at the confluence of the Paleo‐Tethys and Panthalassic oceans ...

Re‐evaluation of a soft crested Edmontosaurin, with implications for hadrosaurid life appearance and diversity

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Hadrosaurid dinosaurs are generally regarded as “crested” or “non‐crested” depending on the presence or absence of a bony cranial crest. At least one supposedly “non‐crested” hadrosaur is known to have possessed a soft tissue cranial crest (or comb), based on an exceptionally preserved “mummified” specimen. Here we redescribe this specimen and

The cranial, mandibular, and hyoid anatomy of softshell turtles (Trionychidae): A revised character list for phylogenetic analysis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Softshell turtles (Pan‐Trionychidae) are an early branching clade of hidden‐necked turtles (Cryptodira) with a rich fossil record extending back to the Early Cretaceous. The evolutionary history of softshell turtles is still unresolved because of their conservative morphology combined with high levels of polymorphism related to morphological ...

Beyond single-cause models: Investigating variable pathways to submarine fan architectures in the Golo Fan system

Sedimentologika
Traditional sequence stratigraphy has largely linked submarine fan formation to relative sea-level changes during lowstand conditions. However, these interpretations may oversimplify the system's complexity by overlooking the contributions of other ...
