The Talas Fergana/Karatau Fault, is a major tectonic boundary separating the Kazakh-Turan domain to west from Tian Shan east. During Jurassic, movements along fault led opening of several basins. Still, Mesozoic kinematics and geodynamic mechanism that these basins are largely unconstrained. Located at its southwestern termination, Yarkand-Fergana Basin certainly best exposed however still poor...

Shallow submarine volcanoes have been newly discovered near the Tokara Islands, which are situated at the volcanic front of the northern Ryukyu Arc in southern Japan. Here, we report for the first time the volatile geochemistry of shallow hydrothermal plumes, which were sampled using a CTD-RMS system after analyzing water column images collected by multi-beam echo sounder surveys. These surveys...

19 The Fishguard Volcanic Group represents an excellently preserved example of a volcanic 20 sequence linked to the closure of the Iapetus Ocean. This study re-examines the petrogenesis 21 and proposed tectonic setting for the Llanvirn (467-458 Ma) Fishguard Volcanic Group, 22 South Wales, UK. New major and trace element geochemical data and petrographic 23 observations are used to re-evaluate ...

Groundwater, being a vital resource, needs to be developed with proper understanding about its occurrence in time and space. Unscientific sand mining is a dominant environmental issue in this humid tropical river basin namely Bharathapuzha river basin geographically on central part of Kerala state, southwest part of India. The sandy layers along the river course declines its water holding capac...

in this study, the quaternary deformation and tectonic activity of saeedabad-chai drainage basin, are assessed using geomorphic approach. this drainage basin is located in northern slope of sahand mountain. north tabriz fault (ntf), is passing from the saeedabad-chai basin. variation in the morphology of mountain front provied the basis for geomorphic assessment of tectonic activity. therefore,...

runoff is one of the major components of calculating water resource processes and is the main issue in hydrology. many concept models are used to predict the amount of runoff, which in most cases depend on topographical and hydrological data. conventional models are not appropriate for areas in which there is little hydrological data. changes in runoff are nonlinear, meaning it is time & space ...

Magnetic and gravimetric data from the central Alboran Sea allow identification of two axes of crustal thinning, which were probably active during the Oligocene—Early Miocene. The western Alboran basin axis is subparallel and may be related in origin to the Gibraltar Arc. The ENE—WSW trending Alboran Channel axis is probably intruded by basic igneous rocks and may represent the western end of t...

Basin morphometry is vital information for relating storms to hydrologic hazards, such as landslides and floods. In this paper we present the first comprehensive global dataset of distributed basin morphometry at 30 arc seconds resolution. The dataset includes nine prime morphometric variables; in addition we present formulas for generating twenty-one additional morphometric variables based on ...
