The combination of structural and lithological data with morphometric indicators in a GIS environment constitutes methodological approach high added value to identify neotectonic deformations, particular the Quaternary outcrops where faults are generally masked by thick recent sediments. This approach, based on crossing multisource data, is used this work understand mechanisms that generate lan...

Study area is located in the higher folded belt in the Zagros Mountain in the Iraqi Kurdistan. Analyzed geomorphic indices included sixteen sub basins: the stream gradient index (SL), drainage basin asymmetry (AF), hypsometric integral (Hi), Valley floor width-valley height ratio (VF) and mountain front sinuosity (J) is obtained relative of tectonic activity in the study area. These indices abo...

The Méma is a semi-arid region in central Mali with a rich archaeological heritage indicating the former existence of large urban settlements. The archaeological data suggest millennia of occupation history of the Méma preceding relatively sudden abandonment by the 14th or 15th century AD. Population numbers have remained low since then and today’s human presence in the area is sparse and large...

The well productivity in crystalline terrains is extremely changeable and depends on external factors, in addition to the intrinsic properties of rocks. In the Jundiaí River Catchment, Southeastern Brazil, the main factor that influences well productivity is the existence of open discontinuities permeability in geologic environments that favor groundwater recharge. In that area, Pre-Cambrian sh...

We present an improved neotectonic numerical model of the complex NW Africa-SW Eurasia plate boundary segment that runs from west to east along the Gloria Fault up to the northern Algerian margin. We model the surface velocity field and the ongoing lithospheric deformation using the most recent version of the thin-shell code SHELLS and updated lithospheric model and fault map of the region. To ...

Deuterodon is a genus of the subfamily Stethaprioninae, group Neotropical fish known as tetras. hastatus represents species complex, which supported by cytogenetic and molecular data. In this study, we show results comparative evolutionary analyses ATP synthase subunit 6 gene in four species, addition to ribosomal markers (18S rDNA 5S rDNA), new population D. complex from Angra dos Reis/RJ regi...

Interest in the contemporary geodynamic setting of southwestern British Columbia stems from a concern that a large earthquake may impact the major urban centres of the province. Indeed, monitoring of seismic activity in western Canada indicates that numerous smaller magnitude (<M4) intraplate earthquakes affect the southern coastal region annually. and that very small tremors occur daily. Large...

This paper aims to present a new neotectonic perspective concordant with the seismic activities in Turkey and surrounding regions. The structures have been re-evaluated mainly by using focal mechanism solutions high-resolution satellite (Google Earth) images. Southeast Anatolian Wedge explains thrust/blind thrust asymmetrical folding relationship SE Turkey, Syria, Northern Iraq. of Turkish-Iran...
