The Tamu Massif, considered the biggest single volcano on Earth, was formed by accumulation of enormous amounts magma erupting to surface. It is largest and oldest seamount in Shatsky Rise, which third oceanic plateau Earth. However, formation mechanism Massif still controversial because evidence point different hypotheses. In this paper, we applied P-wave coda autocorrelation method used hydro...

The Synnyrsky massif is the largest intrusive containing ultra-potassium syenites, synnyrites, which are raw materials for production of potash fertilizers and aluminum. An extensive complex geological geochemical studies has been carried out, including exploratory drilling, was out on first time. data obtained made it possible to significantly change idea structure massif, a different look at ...

An updated list of Issidae known from Vietnam is provided. Two new species, one from the genus Darwallia Gnezdilov, 2010, and another one from a new genus are described from the Hòn Bà massif in Central Vietnam. A key to species of the genus Darwallia is provided. Gelastyrella hainanensis Ran et Liang, 2006 is placed in synonymy under Thabena litaoensis Yang, 1994. This last taxon and the genus...

Apatite fission-track analysis of samples covering a 4.2-kilometer vertical section from the western flank of Vinson Massif, Antarctica's highest mountain, indicates that the Ellsworth Mountains were uplifted by 4 kilometers or more during the Early Cretaceous following the initial separation of East and West Gondwana and accompanying the opening of the Weddell Sea. Relief of at least 1.8 kilom...

Domene (Lathromene) lusitanica n. sp. from Sicó karstic massif in Portugal is described and compared with other species of the subgenus, representing the first hypogean rove beetle from mainland Portugal. A comparison between Domene lusitanica n. sp. and the other species of the Iberian endemic subgenus Lathromene is made using diagnostic characters. An identification key for the males of Lathr...

^toraci.•Three new species of thread snakes of the genus Leptotyphlops are described from Hispaniola as: L. calypso from the Samaná Peninsula, and L. asboîepis from the Sierra Martin Garcia, Dominican RepubUc, and L. leptepileptus from the Massif de la Selle, Haiti. These three species together with L. bilineatus and L. pyrites form a distinct group of Leptotyphlops that is restricted to the We...

SCIENCE SUMMARY Site U1309 (Prospectus Site AMFW-01A) is located on the central dome of Atlantis Massif, 15 km west of the median valley axis of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the seafloor coincides with a corrugated detachment fault surface. Site U1309 comprises eight holes drilled within 2 km of one another and along a spreading-parallel corridor (see Expedition 304 Site U1309 Site Summary). H...

A new genus Annamatissus Gnezdilov et Bourgoin gen. nov., including the new species, Annamatissus tami Gnezdilov et Soulier-Perkins sp. nov. is described in the family Caliscelidae from the Bi-Doup massif in Lam Dong Province of Vietnam. The new taxon represents only the second genus of the tribe Caliscelini known from Vietnam. An identification key to separate Gelastissus Kirkaldy from Annamat...

Temperature-index modeling is used to determine the magnitude of temperature depression on Blanca Massif, Colorado, required maintain steady-state mass balances nine reconstructed glaciers at their extent during Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). The mean thus determined ~8.6 +0.7/?0.9 °C where uncertainties account for those inherent in glacier reconstructions, model parameters (e.g., melt factors), ...
