A geological history of reflecting optics.
Optical reflectors in animals are diverse and ancient. The first image-forming eye appeared around 543 million years ago. This introduced vision as a selection pressure in the evolution of animals, and consequently the evolution of adapted optical devices. The earliest known optical reflectors--diffraction gratings--are 515 Myr old. The subsequent fossil record preserves multilayer reflectors, ...
متن کاملMethods for history matching under geological constraints
Two geostatistical methods for history matching are presented. Both rely on the sequential simulation principle for generating geologically sound realizations. The first method relies on perturbing the sequential simulation through the perturbation of the conditional distribution models; the second method relies on the perturbation of random numbers. We show that both approaches are general in ...
متن کاملA geological history of the Turkana Basin.
The Turkana Basin preserves a long and detailed record of biotic evolution, cultural development, and rift valley geology in its sedimentary strata. Before the formation of the modern basin, Cretaceous fluvial systems, Paleogene lakes, and Oligo-Miocene volcano-sedimentary sequences left fossil-bearing strata in the region. These deposits were in part related to an early system of rift basins t...
متن کاملPowering Triton’s recent geological activity by obliquity tides: Implications for Pluto geology
We investigate the origins of Triton’s deformed and young surface. Assuming Triton was captured early in Solar System history, the bulk of the energy released during capture will have been lost, and cannot be responsible for its present-day activity. Radiogenic heating is sufficient to maintain a long-lived ocean beneath a conductive ice shell, but insufficient to cause convective deformation a...
متن کاملGeochemical Aspects of the Geological History of Venus
Introduction: The current knowledge of the geological history of Venus can be interpreted in terms of the history of the geochemical environments on this planet. One can distinguish two parts of the geologic history of Venus: the later part, for which we have morphological records supplemented by geochemical measurements on the surface and in the atmosphere, and the earlier part, for which ther...
