The Confidence Hills, Southern Death Valley, California, are composed of Plio-Pleistocene lacustrine beds, evaporite beds, ashes, playa sediments, alluvial fan and fluvial deposits. The sediments have been divided into 5 mappable units. From oldest to, youngest, they are: the Confidence Hills "formation" (informal) composed of three interfingering members, and overlying Units A and B which do n...

Introduction: Lunar regolith breccias provide direct samples of the complicated, highly mixed nature of the Moon’s near-surface environment. By understanding their makeup it is hoped to be able to extrapolate to how large-scale remote-sensing datasets will detect geochemical information from a mixture of different lunar lithological terranes. Discussed here is an investigation into three lunar ...

investigating species diversity and richness is essential for defining conservation priorities. in addition, determining landscape parameters influencing species diversity and richness is important for selecting and designing parks and protected areas. kohgiluyeh & boyer ahmad province is a mountainous region, comprises hills, mounds, forests and plains. this vast province has high species dive...

15 Biodiversity conservation is now about prioritisation, especially in a world with limited 16 resources and so many habitats and species in need of protection. However, we cannot 17 prioritise effectively if historical and current information on a particular habitat or species 18 remains scattered. Several good platforms have been created to help users to find, use and 19 create biodiversity ...

[1] Radar interferometry (InSAR), field measurements and creepmeters reveal surface slip on multiple faults in the Imperial Valley triggered by the main shock of the 4 April 2010 El Mayor‐Cucapah Mw 7.2 earthquake. Co‐seismic offsets occurred on the San Andreas, Superstition Hills, Imperial, Elmore Ranch, Wienert, Coyote Creek, Elsinore, Yuha, and several minor faults near the town of Ocotillo ...
