The structural and subsidence history of the Neogene Transylvanian basin is reviewed in order to analyse its relation to the tectonic and erosional history of the surrounding Carpathian mountains that has been defined by apatite fission track data from previous studies. The main processes studied are redistribution of mass by erosion, and tectonic loading. A mass balance is calculated between m...

We introduce the land-cover cascade (LCC) as a conceptual framework to quantify the transfer of land-cover-disturbance effects to stream biota. We hypothesize that disturbance is propagated through multivariate systems through key variables that transform a disturbance and pass a reorganized disturbance effect to the next hierarchical level where the process repeats until ultimately affecting b...

A variety of gravel- to cobble-sized rocks, recovered from the Mar del Plata (MdP) Canyon area (Western South Atlantic at 38°S) and interpreted as ice-rafted debris, represent first evidence that large icebergs have floated in Falkland (Malvinas) Current southern polar high latitudes far northward. Detailed petrographic analyses identified Antarctic Peninsula, sub-Antarctic islands Scotia Sea, ...

Data collected during a 12-day cruise in July 2009 served to examine the structure of the nascent Mediterranean Outflow Water (MOW) immediately west of the Espartel Sill, the westernmost sill in the Strait of Gibraltar. The MOW is characterized by high salinities (>37.0 and reaching 38.3) and high velocities (exceeding 1 m s at 100 m above the seafloor), and follows a submerged valley along a 3...

We study a watershed containing an old stream valley at the Kaiwi Coast on O?ahu, Hawai?i. The site has undergone significant hydrogeological changes throughout its history, and present displays complex interactions of variety geological formations. highlight innovative efficient combination two hydrogeophysical methodologies for studying groundwater systems: ambient noise surface wave tomograp...
