Introduction: The Tagish Lake meteorite is an ungrouped carbonaceous chondrite that contains a high amount of organic carbon (up to 2.6 wt%), most of which is insoluble in polar solvents [1]. Lithologically, the Tagish Lake meteorite is anything but homogeneous. Aside from the carbonate-rich and carbonate-poor lithologies described by [2], there exist matrix-rich and matrix poor lithologies as ...

Far-ultraviolet (FUV) spectra in the 190-300 nm region were measured for spring water in Awaji-Akashi area, Tamba area and Rokko-Arima area in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, these areas have quite different geology features. The spectra of the spring water in the Awaji-Akashi area can be divided into two groups: the spring water samples containing large amounts of NO(3)(-) and/or Cl(-), and those con...

A geophysical method of investigation has been deployed in order to give a quick overview the nature and rapidly changing subsurface lithologies that characterized Yikpata, Share, Kwara State, Nigeria. total nine (9) vertical electrical soundings (VES), using Schlumberger Array uniformly divided into three groups: basement, basement/sedimentary boundary sedimentary terrain, horizontal profiling...

A number of rivers have been found to transport highly aged organic matter [OM]; however, the sources of this aged material remain a matter of debate. One potential source may be erosion and weathering of headwater lithologies rich in ancient sedimentary OM. In this study, waters, suspended particulates, streambed sediments, rocks and soils from fourteen small headwater watersheds of a mid-size...

Starting from traditional ideas on the climatic steering of fluvial system dynamics, it appears that there are different kinds of climatic influences on system dynamics. They vary from direct climatic forcing (like peak precipitation) to indirect (like permafrost) and partial forcing (like vegetation). Vegetation (or its absence), and not directly climate, is considered as the main cause of flu...

AVO as a known methodology is used to identify fluid type and reservoir lithology in subsurface exploration. Method discussed in this paper, consists of three stages, including: Direct modeling, Inverse modeling and Cross plot interpretation. By direct modeling we can clarify lithology or fluid dependent attributes. Analysis performed using both P-P and P-Sv attributes. Inverse modeling deals w...

Introduction: The shergottite meteorites have been subdivided into three groups based on texture and mineralogy [1]. EETA79001 is a shergottite that contains examples of all three lithologies: lherzolitic (lithology X), olivine-phyric (lithology A), and basaltic (lithology B). Therefore, studying the magmas involved in the petrogenesis of EETA79001 may provide information not only on its own pe...
