Morphotectonics of Kremenets Mountains

The Vital Records of Kremenets

Introduction Over the past several years, Jewish genealogists have benefited greatly from Mormon microfilming activity in Eastern Europe. The Mormon effort, along with new indices created by Jewish Records Indexing Poland (JRI-Poland) have made it possible for us to locate Eastern European records of our ancestors without the high costs of hiring professional researchers.

Morphological analysis of glaciated valleys in the Zardkuh Mountains, Iran

The morphology of glacial valley can be described in terms of power law or quadratic equations fitted to valley cross-profiles. These two models are used to study the cross-profiles of 86 valley cross-profiles in the Zardkuh Mountain in order to understand the evolutional patterns of valleys. Assessment of using the power law function indicates that b values for both valley sides range from 1.0...

Shifting Mountains of Electronic Waste

Local users are now the main source of electronic waste in Africa, but illegal imports of old computers, televisions, and other electronics devices from Europe, Asia, and North America still make their way there. That's the finding of Where Are WEEE in Africa?, a new United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) report about waste electronic and electrical A large portion of these imports are of ...

Tobacco Root Mountains, Montana

Meta-ultramafi c rocks occur as small (2 to 100 m long), podiform bodies in all three major Precambrian rock suites of the Tobacco Root Mountains of southwest Montana. Most samples consist of a randomly oriented, coarse-grained assemblage of orthopyroxene, olivine, and magnesiohornblende ± spinel, partially replaced by a fi ne-grained assemblage that may include anthophyllite, talc, cummingtoni...
