Seven species of Munididae are reported from the continental margin of north-western Australia. Three species are new to science: Crosnierita adela sp. nov., Onconida ariel sp. nov. and Plesionida aurelia sp. nov., each presently known only from Western Australia. Four species are reported for the first time from Australian waters, Bathymunida balssi Van Dam, 1838, Bathymunida dissimilis Baba &...

This paper presents a 2-D model of the methane cycle for the Siberian continental margin, including permafrost, hydrates and transient fluxes. Model is described in a differential way compared to the initial version used for another region (section 2). Results are presented (section 3) concerning initial spinup, impact of freshwater hydrology, glacial cycles and upcoming global warming. A discu...

Figure 1. Cross-sectional model of continental-margin response to high-amplitude fluctuations in eustatic sea level. The panels represent (A) floodand (B) stormdominated margins. Large panels show stratigraphic architecture resulting from two sea-level cycles superimposed on steady background subsidence. Red circles denote shoreface location. Stratal spacing: ∆t = 0.6. Insets show eustatic sea ...

The Sheep Creek camp straddles the eastern boundary o' the Kootenay arc. This arcuate belt of deformed and meta morphosed rocks has had a complex history of Mesozoic ant1 Paleocene compressional and transpressional defo!nnatiol~ overprinted by Eocene extensional tectonics. The rocks an: believed to represent both a distal continental margin and part of a late Paleozoic to early Mesozoic back-ar...

Metamorphism along the southern margin of the Archean Superior Province has been historically attributed to the Penokean orogeny. A narrow corridor of amphibolite facies rocks north of the main suture does record 1.83–1.80 Ga metamorphic monazite U–Th–Pb ages that mark the culmination of arc accretion. However, subsequent widespread amphibolite facies metamorphism and associated magmatism is re...

1) Determine the uncertainty related to the natural variability in the environmental parameters that drive the modular modeling approach of 2D-SedFlux (primitive geological parameters). These include ocean climate and the sediment supply to the ocean margin from land. Of interest is how this variability couples with, or is independent of, model error (numerical, prediction-precision, and accura...

Site U1318 (Proposal Site PORC-2A) is located in on the eastern slope of the Porcupine Seabight on the southwest continental margin of Ireland and is upslope from the Belgica Mound Province, including Challenger Mound. The principal objective at Site U1318 was to recover the sediments from the three seismic units (P1-3) of the southern Belgica mound province. Complete data from the seismically ...
