Improved age estimates for key Late Quaternary European tephra horizons in the RESET lattice
The research project ‘Response of Humans to Abrupt Environmental Transitions’ (RESET) used tephra layers to tie together and synchronise the chronologies of stratigraphic records at archaeological and environmental sites. With the increasing importance of tephra as chronological markers in sedimentary sequences, both in this project and more generally, comes a requirement to have good estimates...
متن کاملExtending the Horizons: Environmental Excellence as Key to Improving Operations
T view that adopting an environmental perspective on operations can lead to improved operations is in itself not novel; phrases such as “lean is green” are increasingly commonplace. The implication is that any operational system that has minimized inefficiencies is also more environmentally sustainable. However, in this paper we argue that the underlying mechanism is one of extending the horizo...
متن کاملMorphology and distribution of fossil soils in the Permo-Pennsylvanian Wichita and Bowie Groups, north-central Texas, USA: implications for western equatorial Pangean palaeoclimate during icehouse–greenhouse transition
Analysis of stacked Permo-Pennsylvanian palaeosols from north-central Texas documents the influence of palaeolandscape position on pedogenesis in aggradational depositional settings. Palaeosols of the Eastern shelf of the Midland basin exhibit stratigraphic trends in the distribution of soil horizons, structure, rooting density, clay mineralogy and colour that record long-term changes in soil-f...
متن کاملThe Quaternary stratigraphic record of British Columbia—evidence for episodic sedimentation and erosion controlled by glaciation
The terrestrial Quaternary stratigraphic record of British Columbia is largely a product of brief depositional events separated by long periods of nondeposition and erosion. Thick, stratified Quaternary sediments are present mainly in valleys and coastal lowlands and accumulated during periods of growth and decay of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet. At glacial maxima, till was deposited over large are...
متن کاملBlack holes as local horizons
This talk gives a brief introduction to black hole horizons and their role in black hole thermodynamics. In particular a distinction is made between quasilocally defined horizons and event horizons. Currently some new techniques have led to interesting developments and the field seems to be growing in two distinct directions. We will show how thermodynamics can equally well be applied to locall...
