the appearance of sowbugs (hemilepistus shirazi schuttz) in the sedimentation basins of the artificial recharge of groundwater (arg) systems in the gareh bygone plain (gbp) in southern iran is considered an ecological breakthrough in desertification control. this study was performed at the kowsar floodwater spreading and aquifer management research, training and extension station in gbp, 200 km...

1 Abstract We present results of self-consistent experiments of basin formation by extension and basin inversion through subsequent contraction. Our viscous-plastic finite element models include feedback interactions between crustal deformation, the development of local shear zones, and sedimentation and erosion. The extensional basins show a high degree of sensitivity to crustal strain softeni...

Abstract Sedimentation and erosion processes in sedimentary basins can be modeled by a parabolic equation with a limiter on the fluxes and a constraint on the time variation. This limiter happens to satisfy a stationary scalar hyperbolic inequality, within a constraint, for which we prove the existence and the uniqueness of the solution. Actually, this solution is shown to be the maximal elemen...

[1] Impact basin formation is a fundamental process in the evolution of the Moon and records the history of impactors in the early solar system. In order to assess the stratigraphy, sequence, and ages of impact basins and the impactor population as a function of time, we have used topography from the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) on the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) to measure the s...

Glacio-marine fjords occur widely at high latitudes and have been extensively studied in the Arctic, where heavy meltwater inputs and sedimentation yield low benthic faunal abundance and biodiversity in inner-middle fjords. Fjord benthic ecosystems remain poorly studied in the subpolar Antarctic, including those in extensive fjords along the West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP). Here we test ecosyste...

Cohen, A. S., 1989. Facies relationships and sedimentation in large rift lakes and implications for hydrocarbon exploration: examples from lakes Turkana and Tanganyika. Palaeogeogr., Palaeoclimatol., Palaeoecol., 70: 65-80. Two African lakes, Turkana and Tanganyika, illustrate a spectrum of sediments and facies architectures which can occur in large rift lacustrine basins. They demonstrate cont...
