the asmari formation is a thick carbonate sequence in zagros foreland basin. it was deposited during oligocene – early miocene ages. in order to interpret the depositional environment and sequence stratigraphy, firuzabad section were compared with 4 sections of asmari formation in the zagros basin. four different sub environments were identified in the asmari formation based on microfacies anal...

in the past, mining activities have generated major acid drainage sources, which usually carry dissolved metals that flow into the main rivers of the affected basins. the study looks at natural attenuation processes in local, sub-basin and basin areas, in the el bierzo and odiel basins of spain, where coal and metal mining activities were formerly conducted. in this study, sampling and in situ ...

The study area is located in the eastern part of Diyala Governorate close to Iraqi-Iranian border. This was set investigate hydrogeological calculations northeast Qazaniyah wells where groundwater moves directions from northeastern parts towards southwestern par, that is, same direction topography and tendency layers t. study‘s region characterized by visible geological or those can be penetrat...

The water yield produced at the outlet of a sub-basin is combination multiple interacting land uses. In majority previous research, while accounting for effect use and cover (LULC) on yield, hydrologic components watershed have been attributed to dominant class within that sub-basin. We adopted an approach investigate interaction LULC (WYLD) using Johnson–Neyman (JN) method. soil assessment too...

The objective of this study is to provide estimates of price elasticities of irrigation water demands in Zhangye Basin (ZB), an inland river basin in China, with the most recent data and to compare the values of marginal product (VMPs) of water to the prices of water farmers are currently paying. With a set of village and household survey data collected in 2009 and 2014, household fixed effects...

Track and cladistic biogeographic analyses based on insect taxa are used as a framework to interpret patterns of the Latin American and Caribbean entomofauna by identifying biogeographic areas on the basis of endemicity and arranging them hierarchically in a system of regions, subregions, dominions, and provinces. The Nearctic region, inhabited by Holarctic insect taxa, comprises five provinces...

Distinct cyclicity in lithology and microfaunal distribution in sediment cores from the Mendeleev Ridge in the western Arctic Ocean (water depths ca. 1.5 km) reflects contrasting glacial/interglacial sedimentary patterns. We conclude that during major glaciations extremely thick pack ice or ice shelves covered the western Arctic Ocean and its circulation was restricted in comparison with interg...

Delineating hydrologic and pedogenic factors influencing groundwater flow in riparian zones is central in understanding pathways of water and nutrient transport. In this study, we combined two-dimensional time-lapse electrical resistivity imaging (ERI) (depth of investigation approximately 2 m) with hydrometric monitoring to examine hydrological processes in the riparian area of FD-36, a small ...

Mycobacterium parascrofulaceum was found in Norris Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, in a system composed of two acidic (pH 3.0) springs with temperatures between 56 degrees C at the source and 40 degrees C at the confluence of both springs. Growth and survival assays at 56 degrees C for 60 days were performed, confirming the origin of the strain.
