South-west Isle of Wight
نویسنده
چکیده
The south-west coast of the Isle of Wight (see Figure 4.1 for general location) is geomorphologically rich in features of interest. It contains examples of most of the cliff types undergoing active erosion described from other GCR sites. The site demonstrates well how coastal processes have produced different cliff forms related not only to variations of lithology and geological structure, but also variations in the intensity of coastal processes and the timescales over which coastal evolution occurs.

We consider this integrated logistics chain as a 3-echelon transportation system. In such a system, there are two types of transport methods used to deliver goods across the Solent Chan...
متن کاملEuropean-scale analysis of seasonal variability in limpet grazing activity and microalgal abundance
The film of microalgae and macroalgal propagules which coats intertidal rocks is the main food resource of limpets, the dominant grazers on exposed shores of north-west Europe. Spatial and temporal variability in feeding activity of limpets and abundance of microalgae were examined at mid-tide level across a European gradient from the Isle of Man in the British Isles to south-west Portugal. Fee...
متن کاملInfluence of recruitment and temperature on distribution of intertidal barnacles in the English Channel
Many warm-water (Lusitanian) species reach their limits in the central English Channel, failing to penetrate to the North Sea. We re-surveyed the eastern limits of the Lusitanian intertidal barnacles Chthamalus montagui and C. stellatus, from 1994 to 2004, a decade of exceptionally high sea temperatures, and found range extensions on both sides of the Channel compared to the 1950s and 1970s. An...
متن کاملEurope’s largest dinosaur? A giant brachiosaurid cervical vertebra from the Wessex Formation (Early Cretaceous) of southern England
A single brachiosaurid sauropod cervical vertebra from the Wessex Formation (Barremian, Early Cretaceous) of the Isle of Wight is remarkable for its size. With a partial centrum length (i.e., excluding evidence of the anterior condyle) of 745 mm it represents the largest sauropod cervical reported from Europe and is close in size to cervical vertebrae of the giant brachiosaurid Brachiosaurus br...
