To constrain the timing of rifting in the western, eastern, and northern parts of the Alboran Sea basin, seismic reflectors, corresponding to biostratigraphic boundaries and unconformities from the Miocene to Recent, are correlated using synthetic seismograms. Regions of adjacent coeval compression and extension are found in the Alboran Sea basin. Normal faulting continues in parts of the easte...

The fundamental premise of tagging systems is that regular users can successfully organize large collections for browsing and other tasks through the use of uncontrolled vocabularies. Until now, that premise has remained relatively unexamined. In this work, using library data as a guide, we look at whether tags do a good job of organizing large sets of objects. We find that tags are predominant...

In the second revised edition of this widely used textbook, practical aspects are given particular emphasis. Two new chapters have been added-one on geology in engineering, another summarizing the subject matter of physical geology and explaining its relation to earth history. The chapter on geology in engineering, and those on minerals and mineral deposits, offer especially good material for a...
