South Polar Region of Mars: Topography and Geology

Introduction: The polar layered deposits of Mars represent potentially important volatile reservoirs and tracers for the planet’s geologically recent climate history. Unlike the north polar cap, the uppermost surface of the bright residual south polar deposit (Fig. 1) is probably composed of carbon dioxide ice [e.g., 1]. It is unknown whether this ice extends through the entire thickness of the...

Goals and Trends of Research in Geology and Geography.

Summarizing in a few words the essence of the preceding analysis of goals and trends in research in Geology and Geography, we may say that the goal in Geology is a knowledge and understanding of the earth and of its history. In Geography it is a knowledge and understanding of the natural and human environments, to the end that they may best be utilized toward better living in the broadest sense...

Marine Geology

To constrain the timing of rifting in the western, eastern, and northern parts of the Alboran Sea basin, seismic reflectors, corresponding to biostratigraphic boundaries and unconformities from the Miocene to Recent, are correlated using synthetic seismograms. Regions of adjacent coeval compression and extension are found in the Alboran Sea basin. Normal faulting continues in parts of the easte...
