A multi-scale approach to determine the REV in complex carbonate rocks [PDF]

, 2013
Complex porous carbonates display heterogeneity at different scales, influencing their reservoir properties (e.g. porosity) especially since different porosity types may exist on different spatial scales.

Physical and mechanical appraisal of two carbonatic stones widely used in the architectural heritage of eastern Andalusia, Spain

Materiales de Construccion, 2011
We present a detailed characterization of two calcareous stones from Andalusia (Southern Spain), namely Escúzar calcarenite and Olivillo travertine. Both materials can replace two stones extensively used in the architectural heritage of Andalusia, i.e ...

Assessment of radiological hazards of travertine rocks as building materials [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Medical Physics, 2019
Introduction: Although travertine is now widely used as a building material, the effects of its radiological hazards to public health should be a matter of concern. Therefore, this study aimed to determine its radiological parameters with regard to human

Hydrological reserve "Travertine springs"

Proceedings of the State Natural History Museum, 2023
Travertine springs (petrifying springs) are unique natural formations formed by a complex interaction of abiotic and biotic factors, which cause the precipitation of calcium carbonates and magnesium from solutions saturated with corresponding hydrocarbonates.

Palaeoclimate changes in the Afyon province, Sw-Turkey, during the Middle-Late Pleistocene: Signals from calcareous tufa pollen and stable isotope records [PDF]

, 2018
The calcareous tufas of Sarikavak located in the northern part of NE-SW trending Acigöl Graben in SW-Turkey are investigated in detail. For this aim, various analyses (stable isotopes, U/Th dating, palynology) have been carried out on samples obtained ...

Out in the cold? A review of Early Middle Palaeolithic settlements in northern Central Europe, age data and geological preconditions for site formation and preservation

Boreas, EarlyView.
The characteristics of settlement of Neanderthals in northern Central Europe during the earlier phases of the Middle Palaeolithic (Marine Isotope Stage 8–6) have been a matter of debate for decades, specifically regarding the population dynamics at such latitudes during the coldest phases. In this paper, we review the known archaeological record of the

Bio‐mediated cementation of supratidal beach sediments associated with groundwater springs

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The formation of beachrock, sensu stricto, via carbonate precipitation in the intertidal zone is widespread throughout the tropics and subtropics. While cementation of supratidal beach sediments has also been noted in several locations, it has received much less attention.

Environmental changes and human settlement in the central Marches (Italy) during the early-middle Holocene

Physio-Géo, 2007
In the Early Holocene, the central Marches (Italy) underwent a widespread development of forest cover and soils which drastically reduced slope degradation and related aggradation processes in riverbeds.
