Earthquake-induced soft sediment deformation (SSD) structures from the Bilara limestone formation, Marwar basin, India

Soft-Sediment Deformation Structures Interpreted as Seismites in the Kolankaya Formation, Denizli Basin (SW Turkey)

The NW-trending Denizli basin of the SW Turkey is one of the neotectonic grabens in the Aegean extensional province. It is bounded by normal faults on both southern and northern margins. The basin is filled by Neogene and Quaternary terrestrial deposits. Late Miocene- Late Pliocene aged Kolankaya formation crops out along the NW trending Karakova uplift in the Denizli basin. It is a typical flu...

ANN-based sediment yield models for Vamsadhara river basin (India)

Most universally accepted feed-forward error back-propagation artificial neural network models, supported by batchand pattern-learning, daily, weekly, ten-daily and monthly sediment yield were developed for the Vamsadhara River basin of India. The fast gradient descent optimisation technique improved with variable learning rate (α) and momentum term (β) was used for optimisation. In the process...

Magnitude of Nonlinear Sediment Response in Los Angeles Basin during the 1994 Northridge , California , Earthquake

The study of nonlinear site response has practical difficulties due to large ambiguities in isolating local response from other competing effects. We chose a sedimentary site LF6 in Los Angeles basin that (1) has the closest reference rock sites available, compared to other stations, allowing an accurate estimation of local amplification, and (2) illustrates clear resonance in the near surface....

Excess strain in the Echigo Plain sedimentary basin, NE Japan: evidence from coseismic deformation of the 2011 Tohoku-oki earthquake

Coralline Algae From The Ninniyur Formation (Thanetian)Of The Cauvery Basin, South India

The Palaeocene sediment of the Tiruchirapalli area shows presence of some elements of geniculate and non-geniculate coralline Algae. Four coralline algal species are recorded from this Formation (Thanetian age). Two of the described species belong to Sporolithon. Of the remaining two, one is assigned to Coralline, while the other one is indeterminate, being referred to the subfamily Melobesioid...
