THE ANDRELÂNDIA BASIN, A NEOPROTEROZOIC INTRAPLATE CONTINENTAL MARGIN, SOUTHERN BRASÍLIA BELT, BRAZIL

Tonometer calibration in Brasília, Brazil.

PURPOSE To determine calibration errors of Goldmann applanation tonometers in ophthalmic clinics of Brasília, Brazil, and correlate the findings with variables related to tonometers model and utilization. METHODS Tonometers from ophthalmic clinics in Brasília, Brazil, were checked for calibration errors. A standard Goldmann applanation tonometer checking tool was used to asses the calibration...

Subduction of a segmented ridge along a curved continental margin: Variations between the western and eastern Sanak–Baranof belt, southern Alaska

Between the western and the eastern parts of the southern Alaskan Sanak–Baranof belt there exist variations in pluton spacing, geochronology, geochemistry and metamorphism. All such characteristics can be explained by increase in heat flux towards the eastern parts of the belt. Despite such differences, the initiation of magmatism propagated eastward at a constant rate of 19 cm/year throughout ...

3D Flexure and intraplate compression in the North Sea Basin

We apply a recently developed 3D flexure model incorporating lateral variations in flexural rigidity (EET) and necking depth (zn) to study the 3D effects of intraplate stresses on Quaternary accelerated subsidence and uplift in the North Sea Basin and adjacent areas. In the model approach lateral variations and magnitude of predicted Quaternary vertical motions are largely dependent on the pre-...

Report of a Physical Oceanography Research Project over the Southern Continental Shelf of the Caspian Sea

Abstract The study presents monthly variations of seawater properties, monitoring water column stability and stratification over the southern shelf of the Caspian Sea which depends on collecting data. Field measurements were carried out during 13 cruises along the southern boundary of the sea. Spatial and temporal distributions of temperature, salinity and density were investigated. Monthl...
