Atlantic SST variability in the twentieth century is analyzed factoring the influence of natural SST variability in the Pacific basin and the secular change in global SSTs. The tropical and northern extratropical basins are analyzed together using the extended EOF technique, which permits extraction of the interannual and multidecadal modes in the pan-Atlantic basin in a single step. The leadin...

The Black Sea Basin consists of two deep sub-basins (the West Black Sea BasinWBS and the East Black Sea Basin EBS) that are separated by the mid–Black Sea Ridge—an NW trending basement uplift [1]. The origin of the Black Sea and its evolution are still a matter of...

We investigate viscoelastic impact basin relaxation on Pluto for a variety of thermal evolution scenarios encompassing both convective and conductive ice shells. Basins smaller than 200 km in diameter do not relax appreciably, while relaxation fractions can be up to ∼60% for large impact basins. The main control on basin relaxation is the amount of radiogenic heat produced in the rocky core; ou...

A 2-day workshop on the geodynamic evolution of the Alpine – Carpathian orogens and the Pannonian basin, encompassing geophysics geochemistry and geology

The Colorado Plateau, surrounded by a ring of mountains, has the meteorological characteristics of a basin. Deep, persistent potential temperature inversions form in this basin in winter. The formation, maintenance, and dissipation of these inversions are investigated using two to four times daily radiosonde data from the winter and early spring of 1989–90. In winter, inversion evolution is for...

The western Sierra Madre is the main water-providing area of northern Mexico. However, most of this mountain range has suffered a progressive degradation of soils and vegetation due to overgrazing and deforestation, for four or five decades. The objective of this study is to determine the impacts of these changes on water balance and hydrodynamic basin behaviour. The hydrological data of two ba...

The association of coal and oil shale had been a hot topic for a long time. Various types of association of coal and oil shale can be found in one basin, for instance, the coal can act as the roof or floor or interlayer of the oil shale, etc. The most crucial factor for the formation of oil shale is stratification and seasonal blooming of lower plankton, while the final formation of the coal st...

Although hypersaline environments pose challenges to life because of the low water content (water activity), many such habitats appear to support eukaryotic microbes. This contribution presents brief reviews of our current knowledge on eukaryotes of water-column haloclines and brines from Deep Hypersaline Anoxic Basins (DHABs) of the Eastern Mediterranean, as well as shallow-water hypersaline m...
