Optimizing Group Transit in the Gulf of Aden

The situation around the Horn of Africa is critical. The pirates attack transiting vessels on daily basis and even though various counter-piracy measures have been employed, there is still a great potential for the optimization of these navigation techniques. We focus on optimization of a specific transit scheme – combination of the International Recommended Transit Corridor with Group Transits...

Plio-Pleistocene microtephra in DSDP site 231, Gulf of Aden

We reconstruct a Plio-Pleistocene microscopic tephrostratigraphy for DSDP Site 231 in the Gulf of Aden. Systematic microtephrostratigraphy increases the potential for identifying tephra horizons for regional stratigraphic correlation and age control, as well as providing information about eruptive histories. Microtephra reveal three main pulses of volcanism c. 4.0–3.2 Ma, 2.4 Ma and 1.7–1.3 Ma,...
