Measuring Stratigraphic Congruence Across Trees, Higher Taxa, and Time
The congruence between the order of cladistic branching and the first appearance dates of fossil lineages can be quantified using a variety of indices. Good matching is a prerequisite for the accurate time calibration of trees, while the distribution of congruence indices across large samples of cladograms has underpinned claims about temporal and taxonomic patterns of completeness in the fossi...
متن کاملAssessing Congruence Among Ultrametric Distance Matrices
Recently, a test of congruence among distance matrices (CADM) has been developed. The null hypothesis is the incongruence among all data matrices. It has been shown that CADM has a correct type I error rate and good power when applied to independently-generated distance matrices. In this study, we investigate the suitability of CADM to compare ultrametric distance matrices. We tested the type I...
متن کاملNonparametric Stratigraphic Interpretation from Drill Log Data
Near surface groundwater contamination is a widespread problem. The potential for contamination of deep aquifers in such areas depends on the vertical hydraulic gradient as well as the extent and location of interconnection between the upper and lower aquifers. In alluvial~ sedimentary environments, the geologic units are typically weakly connected lenses or layers of high or low conductivity w...
متن کاملVisualizing Legacy Stratigraphic Data From Archaeological Handbooks
In 2001, Harris strongly emphasized the need for Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to force archaeologists to acknowledge the pre-eminent position of surfaces, rather than deposits in stratigraphic analysis and recording. This is certainly a problem since stratigraphic data is often recorded in a haphazard and incomplete fashion such that it disallows the accurate and convincing representa...
متن کاملEcotourism: towards congruence between theory and practice
This paper and its successor examine the gap between ecotourism theory as revealed in the literature and ecotourism practice as indicated by its on-site application. A framework is suggested which, if implemented through appropriate management, can help to achieve a balance between conservation and development through the promotion of synergistic relationships between natural areas, local popul...
