The mountainous, glaciated island of South Georgia is the crest one most isolated fragments continental crust on Earth. It located approximately 1700 km east southern termination Andean Cordillera America. primarily composed Lower Cretaceous turbidites , infill a marginal basin floored by stretched and ophiolitic crust. Remnants volcanic arc are preserved offshore islands to southwest. Pacific ...

Balanced cross-sections across the Zagros fold–thrust belt in Iran are used to analyze the geometry of deformation within the sedimentary cover rocks, and to test the hypothesis of basement involved thrusting throughout the fold–thrust belt. Although the Zagros deformation front is a relatively rectilinear feature, the sinuous map-view morphology of the mountain front is a result of a 6 km stru...

This paper explores how skills for garment work are acquired in the rural hinterland of Tiruppur, one India’s largest manufacturing clusters. Drawing on a quantitative survey and qualitative interviews with workers Tiruppur’s hinterland, we document informal pathways skill acquisition advocate demand-driven approach to vocational training. Such an approach, first, unsettles linear policy assump...

Moine metasedimentary rocks of northern Scotland are characterized by arcuate map patterns mineral lineations that swing progressively clockwise from orogen-perpendicular E-trending in greenschist facies mylonites above the thrust on foreland edge Caledonian Orogen, to S-trending at higher structural levels and metamorphic grades hinterland. Quartz c-axis fabrics measured a west east coast tran...

From the perspective of tourism space optimization, application computer technology in creating computational simulations correlation effects systems is a core issue research related to ports and hinterlands. Using simulation analysis gray correlation, taking Mohan port–Yunnan economic hinterland as an example, relationship between port Yunnan was quantitatively measured based on indicators cro...

The atmospheric temperature profiles (ATPs) retrieved through the geostationary Interferometric Infrared Sounder (GIIRS) onboard FY-4A satellite (GIIRS/FY-4A) can effectively fill gap of scarce conventional sounding data in Taklimakan Desert (TD), second largest desert world, with an area 330,000 square kilometers. In this study, we take experimental radiosonde observations (RAOB) from one RAOB...

Road infrastructure is reshaping the rural settlement landscape in Himalayan area of China through construction road and strategic highway network. However, most methods based on multiple factors described spatial analysis are limited by poor response mechanisms key factors. This study provides insight into temporal process involving 15 settlements Zhada County, west Himalayas. The growth follo...
