Late Pleistocene Episodic Subsidence Events Recorded in Drilled Cores from the Eastern Coast of Lake Mikata, Western Japan, Suggesting Mikata Fault Zone Activity

Late Pleistocene and Holocene Paleoearthquake Activity of the Olinghouse Fault Zone, Nevada

Paleoseismic trenching and fault surface trace mapping indicate that the Olinghouse fault zone, a northeast trending, left-lateral strike-slip fault located in the northern Walker Lane, Nevada, has been the source of multiple latest Pleistocene and Holocene surface-rupturing earthquakes. A trench exposure near the eastern end of the fault records two, and possibly three, earthquakes after 3360 ...

Late Pleistocene - Holocene environmental changes – records from submerged speleothems along the Eastern Adriatic coast ( Croatia )

U-Th and 14C dating, and X-ray diffraction of parts of 16 submerged speleothems taken from depths of 1.5−41.5 m from 7 submarine caves and pits along the Eastern Adriatic coast, provided insight into the sea-level fl uctuations during the last 220 ka, and to the palaeogeographic changes caused by sea-level changes. Due to climate changes, palaeoenvironmental settings also varied, but not so abr...

Morphologically and microscopically identification of sea cucumbers in the tidal zone of the western coast of the Persian Gulf

Abstract The morphological identification and investigation of the internal skeletal structure of sea cucumbers in the tidal zone of the western coast of the Persian Gulf were performed by sampling from 2 stations (Bostaneh Port and Hendurabi Island). Species identification were performed using the Spicules detected form muscle tissue of the samples by Invert microscope and checked with valid ...

Testing the time dependence of slip on the western Klamath Lake fault zone, Oregon

Late Pleistocene and late Holocene lake highstands in the Pyramid Lake subbasin of Lake Lahontan, Nevada, USA

Shoreline geomorphology, shoreline stratigraphy, and radiocarbon dates of organic material incorporated in constructional beach ridges record large lakes during the late Pleistocene and late Holocene in the Pyramid Lake subbasin of Lake Lahontan, Nevada, USA. During the late Holocene, a transgression began at or after 3595 F 35 C yr B.P. and continued, perhaps in pulses, through 2635 F 40 C yr ...
