Hydrogeochemical, isotopic and geophysical characterization of saline lake systems in semiarid regions: The Salada de Chiprana Lake, Northeastern Spain
Most of the athalassic saline and hypersaline lakes are located in arid and semiarid regions where water availability drives the hydrological dynamics of the lake itself and the associated ecosystems. This is the case of ...
Caracteristicas diferenciales entre el fragmento de craneo de Homo sp.de Venta Micena (Orce, Granada) y los equidos
Se ha realizado un detallado estudio diferencial entre la morfología del fragmento craneal de Orce y varios équidos jóvenes, puesto que en anteriores trabajos ya se ha separado del resto de los mamiferos. El resultado ...
On the origin of the North Pacific arcs
We present a new hypothesis that relates global plate tectonics to the formation of marginal basins, island arcs, spreading ridges and arc-shaped mountain belts around the North Pacific Ocean. According to our model, the ...
Deep-sea bioluminescence blooms after dense water formation at the ocean surface
The deep ocean is the largest and least known ecosystem on Earth. It hosts numerous pelagic organisms, most of which are able to emit light. Here we present a unique data set consisting of a 2.5-year long record of light ...
Effects of coastal submarine canyons on tsunami propagation and impact
We analyse the variations produced on tsunami propagation and impact over a straight coastline because of the presence of a submarine canyon incised in the continental margin. For ease of calculation we assume that the ...
Timing and nature of alluvial fan and strath terrace formation in the Eastern Precordillera of Argentina
Sixty-eight 10Be terrestrial cosmogenic nuclide (TCN) surface exposure ages are presented to define the timing of alluvial fan and strath terrace formation in the hyper-arid San Juan region of the Argentine Precordillera. ...
Forward numerical modelling constraining environmental parameters (Aptian carbonate system, E Iberia)
The facies distribution in time and space of sedimentary successions is controlled by a complex interplay between physical, chemical and biological processes, which are nowadays difficult to construe from the geological ...
Modeling the interaction between presalt seamounts and gravitational failure in salt-bearing passive margins: The Messinian case in the northwestern Mediterranean Basin
The northwest Mediterranean Basin includes a thick Messinian salt sequence composed of three evaporitic units. From these, the intermediate unit, which is dominantly composed of halite, acted as a gravitational detachment ...
A systematic review on microplastic pollution in water, sediments, and organisms from 50 coastal lagoons across the globe
Coastal lagoons are transitional environments between continental and marine aquatic systems. Globally, coastal lagoons are of great ecological and socioeconomic importance as providers of valuable ecosystem services. ...
Morphometry of Conception Bank: Evidence of geological and biological processes on a large volcanic seamount of the Canary Islands Seamount Province.
Concepcion Bank is the largest seamount in the Canary Islands Seamount Province (CISP), an oceanic area off NW Africa including 16 main seamounts, the Canaries archipelago and the Selvagens subarchipelago. The Bank is ...
Internal anatomy of an Erg sequence from the aeolian-fluvial system of the De La Cuesta Formation (Paganzo Basin, northwestern Argentina)
Permian red beds of the De La Cuesta Formation in the Sierra de Narváez (Paganzo Basin, northwestern Argentina) are essentially composed of sandstones associated with mudstones and subordinate conglomerates. Facies ...
Impact of the historical introduction of exotic fishes on the chironomid community of Lake Azul (Azores Islands)
Little is known about the effect of top predator introduction in historically fishless communities, especially on remote islands. This issue is important because it might strongly affect climate reconstructions derived ...
Impact of open-ocean convection on particle fluxes and sediment dynamics in the deep margin of the Gulf of Lions.
Abstract. The deep outer margin of the Gulf of Lions and the adjacent basin, in the western Mediterranean Sea, are regularly impacted by open-ocean convection, a major hydrodynamic event responsible for the ventilation of ...
Glacial geomorphology of the High Gredos Massif: Gredos and Pinar valleys (Iberian Central System, Spain)
We present a detailed geomorphological map of the landform assemblages originated by the two major paleoglaciers of the Sierra de Gredos mountain range in the Spanish Iberian Central System. Based on previous works, our ...
The transition from salt diapir to weld and thrust: Examples from the Northern Flinders Ranges in South Australia
The interactions between salt diapirs, thrust welds and thrusts in contractional belts are poorly understood due to, first, the inability of seismic data to distinguish between thrusts and welds or resolve associated ...
New ichnological data from the lower Paleozoic of the Central Pyrenees: presence of <em>Arthrophycus brongniartii</em> (Harlan, 1832) in the Upper Ordovician Cava Formation
The ichnogenus Arthrophycus, characteristic of Ordovician-Silurian sedimentary rocks, is described by the first time in the Pyrenees. This ichnogenus is located in fine-grained sandstones of the upper part of the Cava ...
Structural control of inherited salt structures during inversion of a domino basement-fault system from an analogue modelling approach
The geometries of inverted rift systems are different depending on a large variety of factors that include, among others, the presence of decoupling layers, the thickness of the pre- and syn-extension successions, or ...
Precisiones cronoestratigráficas sobre la Fm. Escucha en el sector noroeste de la cuenca del Maestrazgo. Cordillera Ibérica oriental
Uno de los problemas clásicos en el estudio del registro sedimentario cretácico de la Cordillera Ibérica es la datación cronoestratigráfica de los materiales detriticos que subyacen al cretácico superior calcáreo, debido ...
Topo-Iberia Project: CGPS crustal velocity field in the Iberian Peninsula and Morocco
A new continuous GPS network was installed under the umbrella of a research project called 'Geociencias en Iberia: Estudios integrados de topografı´a y evolución 4D (Topo-Iberia)', to improve understanding of kinematic ...
