Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) data for the last 420 million years (My) show long-term fluctuations related to supercontinent cycles as well as shorter cycles at 26 to 32 My whose origin is unknown. Periodicities of 26 to 30 My occur in diverse geological phenomena including mass extinctions, flood basalt volcanism, ocean anoxic events, deposition of massive evaporites, sequence boundaries, a...

Again this year, abstracts from the annual Atlantic Universities Geological Conference (AUGC) are published in Atlantic Geology. This provides a permanent record of the abstracts, and also focuses attention on the excellent quality of the presentations and posters and the interesting and varied geoscience that they cover. The abstracts are published with fi nancial assistance from APICS. THE ED...

The Cenozoic Malaguide Basin from Sierra Espuña (Internal Betic Zone, S Spain) due to the quality of outcropping, areal representation, and continuity in sedimentation can be considered a key-basin. In last 30 years, large number studies with very different methodological approaches have been done area. Models indicate an evolution passive margin wedge-top basin Late Cretaceous Early Miocene. S...

Salinas and saltscapes are relevant geoheritage sites with important implications on socioeconomic activities beyond the production of salt, particularly tourism education. As cultural landscapes, they also have related to identity their communities. This work presents study patrimonialization processes four in Europe (Añana Spain, Guérande France, Læsø Denmark, Sečovlje Slovenia). Lessons obta...

Snnss and Skaist rivers in the Ho~amccn Range\. 10 kilometres southeast of Hope and is hordcred by Manning Provincial Park on the southeast and Skagit Valley Recreation Arca on...

Hazard analysts and risk managers of natural perils, such as earthquakes, landslides and floods, need to access information from sensor networks surveying their regions of interest. However, currently information about these networks is difficult to obtain and is available in varying formats, thereby restricting accesses and consequently possibly leading to decision-making based on limited info...

Integrating geological concepts, such as relative positions and proportions of the different lithofacies, is of highest importance in order to render realistic geological patterns. The truncated plurigaussian simulation method provides a way of using both local and conceptual geological information to infer the distributions of the facies and then those of hydraulic parameters. The method (Le L...

We investigate the concept of the heritage store, that is, the locations that lies at the heart of a brand's identity and history. Based on store observations and interviews with managers and sales personnel in the luxury industry, we analyze the characteristics of heritage stores and their role in the management of heritage brands. We show how managers sacralize a store's heritage to nurture t...
