The focus of this study was to determine the long-term fate oil-residues from 2010 Deepwater Horizon (DwH) oil spill due remobilization, transport, and re-distribution residue contaminated sediments down-slope depocenters following initial deposition on seafloor. We characterized hydrocarbon residues, bulk sediment organic matter, ease resuspension, sedimentology, accumulation rates define dist...

However, they played an important role in the understanding of soil properties and land use planning, and came later to provide a useful basis for national soil mapping. The geological surveys gave rise to the so-called Quaternary and Petrological Maps, the first one being published 1857. The maps show mineralogy and texture and genesis of the parent material, e.g. texture of glacial till and w...

The Des Moines Lobe was the largest of several lobes of the Laurentide Ice Sheet that extended into the mid-continent region of North America near the end of the last glaciation. At its maximum extent, ~13,800 radiocarbon years ago, the lobe was up to 250 km wide and covered greater than 10 km in southern Minnesota and north-central Iowa (Fig. 1). The lobe deposited diverse sediments, but only ...

A vaccine that uses one virus to deliver components of a second virus elicits T cells that recognize noncanonical epitopes. COVER A Classopollis meyeriana conifer pollen grain (~30 micrometers across) preserved in lake sediments deposited just after a massive, volcano-induced extinction event ~200 million years ago. This fossilized pollen grain is representative of the low-diversity plant assem...

The Thermoactinomyces sp. strain Gus2-1 was isolated from hot-spring sediments sample from the hot-spring Gusikha in Bargusin Valley (Baikal Rift Zone, Russia). The sequenced and annotated genome is 2,623,309 bp and encodes 2513 genes. The draft genome sequence of the Thermoactinomyces sp. strain Gus2-1 has been deposited at DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank under the accession JPZM01000000 and the sequences c...

Lower Pliocene temperate carbonates exhibit landward-downlapping beds at the southern margin of the Carboneras Basin in south-eastern Spain. This rarely documented stratal geometry resulted from the accumulation of bedded bioclastic carbonate sand and gravel by longshore currents along a spit platform located a few hundred metres from the palaeoshoreline. The top of the spit platform was covere...

The Anoxybacillus flavithermus KU2-6-11 was isolated from sediments of a nameless hot spring. The hot spring is located in Uzon caldera (Kamchatka, Russia). The sequenced and annotated genome is 2,646,305 bp and encodes 2787genes. The draft genome sequence of the Anoxybacillus flavithermus KU2-6-11 has been deposited at DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank under the accession PEDM01000000 and the sequences could ...

The Gyeokpori Formation in the Buan volcanic area primarily contains siliciclastic rocks interbedded with volcanoclastics. These sediments are characterized by a variety of soft-sediment deformation structures (SSDS). SSDS embedded poorly sorted conglomerates; slump folds also present formation. mechanisms and triggers causing not yet clear. In study, trigger was investigated using facies analy...
