[1] Spreading in the Adare Basin off north-western Ross Sea (43–26 Ma) and extension in the Victoria Land Basin (VLB, > 36 Ma) are used to constrain the pole of rotation for the Adare Basin, providing a rifting model for the region for the past 45 Ma. The offset from Northern Basin to VLB at about 74 S coincides with the linear Polar-3 magnetic anomaly, inferred to be caused by a major 48 34 Ma...

tombstones have been mirrors of the culture and customs of traditional societies in iran. in pristine areas such as the city of the province of ilam; darreh-shahr, decorative motifs of tombstones are a gateway to the world of religious and cultural thoughts of the people of this land. the city darreh-shahr cemetery tombstones are similar to other iran regions and abdanan tombstones in ilam, ado...

fish biodiversity investigation in urmia basin which is a part of irano-anatolian hot spot aimed to determine the state of fish in this endorheic basin. based on the obtained results, freshwater fish species of the urmia basin comprise 29 species in 25 genera, 7 families, 5 orders and one class. the most diverse order is the cypriniformes with 23 species (79.31%) followed by salmoniformes and p...

Site U1322 is the easternmost site drilled in the Ursa basin by Expedition 308. Of the three sites in the Ursa Basin, Site U1322 has the thinnest sediment cover above the permeable Blue Unit. The principal objectives of drilling Site U1322 were to document rock physical properties at the location of minimal overburden in the Ursa Basin, measure in-situ formation temperature and pressure, docume...

Manasi River basin is located in the north foot of Tianshan Mountain, south edge of Zhunger Basin, central-north Xinjiang province, with typical arid features of northern China. As the pressure on water resources in Manasi river basin is mounting because of rapid economic development, its conservation becomes ever more important. Climate change is another major threat to the future of water res...

This paper presents the effects of geometry of sediment bedrock interface (GSBI) of 3D basins with a circular outcropping free surface on the characteristics and the focusing of the basin-generated surface (BGS) waves and associated spatial variations of the average spectral amplification (ASA) and average aggravation factor (AAF). An increase of ASA towards the centre of the semispherical (SS-...

The digital basin is a complicated heterogeneous distributed system. There are a lot of information resources in it, include data resources, technology resources, system resources, application resources, etc. It is a primary problem needed solve and purpose in the digital basin how integrates this resources, turns it into an organic whole, provides maximum shared. Constructing information resou...

The 400,000 km Volta Basin is an international basin covering almost 28% of the West Coast. Basin of Africa. It extends from longitude 5 30 W to 2 00E and from latitude 5 30 N to 14 30 N and is shared by the six West African countries Benin, Togo, Ghana, La Cote d’Ivoire, Burkina Faso and Mali. The water resources of this basin are under severe stress due to both human and natural causes. High ...

background and purpose: the heavy metal pollution and its fractionations in the surface sediments of darreh-morad beyg river, hamedan city were monitored for cd, cr, cu, fe, ni, pb, and zn in 2014.   materials and methods: totally 30 surface sediment samples were taken from 10 stations with three replicates. the samples subjected to bulk digestion and chemical partitioning. the concentrations o...

A study of the spatial and temporal changes in land use and land cover (LULC) was conducted using Remote Sensing and GIS. We analyzed the LULC of Bharathapuzha river basin, south India using multispectral LANDSAT imageries of 1973-2005 time periods. 31% depletion in the natural vegetation cover and 8.7% depletion in wetland agriculture area were seen in the basin during the period. On the other...
