Koločep bay is a 30 km elongated karst basin located between the Elafiti Islands and mainland with NW–SE general direction. The lies within seismically active southern Dalmatia zone. Irregular grid sub-bottom profiles two legacy reflection seismic have been used to determine overall morphology of establish stratigraphy its sedimentary infill. Three major seismic–stratigraphic units identified i...

The Gurpi Formation constitutes the source rock for petroleum in the oil-rich South Iranian Basin.Gurpi Formations is well distributed along Zagros Foreland Basin particularly in the north west of the Zagros (Lorestan Province). For Microbiostratigraphy and Paleobathymetric studies of the Gurpi Formation in the central part of Lorestan two stratigraphic sections including Sultan and Amiran sect...

In dynamical systems examples are common in which two or more attractors coexist, and in such cases the basin boundary is nonempty and the basins often have fractal basin boundaries. The purpose of this paper is to describe the structure and properties of unbounded basins and their boundaries for two-dimensional diffeomorphisms. Frequently, if not always, there is a periodic saddle on the bound...

In mountainous landscapes with high climatic and geomorphic variability, how do rural land uses and exurbanization alter hydrology and water quality? We evaluated effects of rural land use and exurbanization on streamflows, suspended sediment concentrations and loads, specific conductance, and summer water temperatures in 12 streams and rivers within the Upper Little Tennessee River basin in th...

The environmental quality of Torre a Mare port (Italy) was assessed evaluating on one side, the chemical concentration of nine metals and metalloids within bottom sediments and on the other one, by exploring the impact of hydrodynamic conditions in contaminant's transport within the most polluted basins. The investigated port was selected as case study because it resulted much more polluted tha...

[1] Among countries with river basin organizations to manage their water resources, Spain’s experience is one of the longest. One of the first basin agencies established in Spain was for the Guadalquivir River in the south. A case study of that river basin and its management indicates how basin management is shaped by political economy factors such as the historical path of the agency’s evoluti...

The integration of geophysical methods, together with the previous information Vallès basin area, has resulted in creation a new conceptual model that explains La Garriga-Samalús geothermal system. complementary methods seems to be good option for preliminary stages system exploration, especially urban areas. An integrated seismic ambient noise, magnetotellurics, and gravity were used determine...

The Mobile Basin historically supported one of the most diverse freshwater mussel (Bivalvia: Unionidae) assemblages in North America. More than 65 species of mussels are known from the Basin, but it is difficult to determine how many species were present historically. The drainage's unique physical habitat was largely destroyed between the late 1800s and mid-1900s by impoundment and channel mod...

Rapid land use change due to intensive agricultural practices in the Ethiopian Highlands, results in increasing rates of soil erosion. This manifested in significant impacts downstream by reducing the storage capacity of reservoirs (e.g., Roseires, Sennar), and high desilting costs of irrigation canals. Therefore, this paper aims to provide a better understanding of the process at basin scale. ...
