The southern part of Tyrrhenian back-arc basin (NW Sicily), formed due to the rifting and spreading processes in setting, is currently undergoing contractional tectonics. analysis seismic reflection profiles integrated with bathymetry, magnetic data seismicity allowed us map a widespread tectonics structures, such as positive flower anticlines inverted normal faults, which deform sedimentary se...

Abstract Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a heterogeneous mixture of compounds that produced through both microbial degradation and abiotic leaching solid phase matter, by wide range metabolic processes in algae higher plants. DOM ubiquitous throughout the hydrologic cycle plays an important role watershed management for drinking water supply as well many aspects aquatic ecology geochemistry. ...

Bulk-rock major and trace element geochemistry of a range of eclogite, garnet blueschist and garnet amphibolite rocks from northern New Caledonia has been determined in order to geochemically characterise subducted oceanic crust. The rocks experienced peak metamorphic conditions of 1.9 GPa and 600 jC and represent excellent samples of oceanic crust that was subducted to depths of approximately ...
