This paper analyzes lexical aspect as the privative features [+dynamic], [+durative] and [+telic], rather than as equipollent features. Aspectual interpretation may therefore be described as monotonic composition of verbs with other constituents: marked verb features may not be changed, whereas unmarked features may become marked by other constituents. This model also predicts the variety of in...

Deep-sea ecosystems of the Iberian margin have been widely impacted over past decades, but limited knowledge on their biodiversity and functioning limits our ability to contribute conservation. So far, in Gulf Cadiz, research has mostly focused megabenthic assemblages associated mud volcanoes. However, several other geomorphological structures remained unexplored. Here, by means a quantitative ...

Some of the inshore reefs of the Great Barrier Reef are showing impacts consistent with a decline in water quality as a result of increased sediments and nutrients. The Wet Tropics covers approximately 2.2 million hectares and includes 91 percent of the Wet Tropics World Heritage area. The climate and geomorphologic conditions of the region are unique in Australia and generally result in fast f...

We made a detailed geomorphologic map of the Menrva region of Titan, using Cassini RADAR data as our map base. Using similar techniques and approaches that were applied to mapping Magellan radar images of Venus, and earlier, more generalized Titan maps, we were able to define and characterize 10 radar morphologic units, along with inferred dunes and fluvial channels, from the RADAR data. Struct...
