The Scandinavian Caledonides comprise nappe stacks of far-travelled allochthons that record closure the Iapetus Ocean and subsequent continental collision Baltica Laurentia. Seve Nappe Complex (SNC) includes relics outermost Baltoscandian passive margin were subducted to mantle depths. earliest deep subduction events has been dated ca. 500–480 Ma. Evidence this event reported from northern expo...

Abstract We report the first findings of several occurrences lawsonite and metamorphic aragonite in meta-sediments from Combin Zone (Piemonte–Liguria ocean, Western Alps), where early blueschist-facies episode is poorly documented. New field data (thermodynamic modelling Raman spectroscopy on carbonaceous material) are used to elucidate P–T evolution fluid composition investigate growth breakdo...

This paper describes a study of the use of large diameter "agrowells" used for irrigation in Sri Lanka. Detailed field information for a single location is presented and a numerical radial flow model was used to interpret the field response. Initially the model was used to represent a pumping test in which the pumping and subsequent recovery were monitored. It was then used to investigate the o...

Liechtenstein has faced an increasing number of natural hazards over recent decades: debris flows, slides, snow avalanches and floods repeatedly endanger the local infrastructure. Geomorphological field mapping and geoelectrical profiling was used to assess hazards near Malbun, a village potentially endangered by landslides, and especially debris flows. The area is located on the tectonic conta...

Devonian and Carboniferous paleoArmorican to the central European Variscan strucmagnetic data from the European Hercynides show a rural trend (Figure 1) and its potential imporcoherent pattern in inclination but significant tance for geodynamics is only one aspect of this dispersion in declination. The declination anomaplate tectonic enigma. The bending around the Bay lies with respect to expec...
