The Late Oligocene to Recent Canterbury Drifts were deposited in water depths between c. 400 and c. 1500 m by northward-flowing, cold, intermediate-depth water masses: Subantarctic Mode Water (SAMW), Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW) and their predecessor current flows. Drift accumulation started at c. 24 Ma, fed by terrigenous sediment derived from the newly rising Alpine Fault plate boundar...

A numerical model was used to investigate the effect of spatial variability in fracture permeability on liquid seepage and moisture distribution in the vicinity of a waste emplacement drift in the unsaturated zone (UZ) of Yucca Mountain. The model is based on a two-dimensional, cross-sectional, dual-permeability model of the unsaturated zone at Yucca Mountain and uses a stochastic approach to i...

S U M M A R Y A contourite drift from offshore Brazil is mapped in detail and investigated using state-of-theart 3-D seismic data. The aim was to review the relevance of erosional features in contourite drifts accumulated on continental slopes. Topographically confined by growing salt diapirs, the mapped contourite ridge is limited by two erosional features, a contourite moat and a turbidite ch...

The treatment of large data streams in the presence of concept drifts is one of the main challenges in the field of data mining, particularly when the algorithms have to deal with concepts that disappear and then reappear. This paper presents a new algorithm, called Fast Adapting Ensemble (FAE), which adapts very quickly to both abrupt and gradual concept drifts, and has been specifically desig...

Accreting neutron stars (NSs) often show coherent modulations during type I X-ray bursts, called burst oscillations. We consider whether a nonradial mode can serve as an explanation for burst oscillations from those NSs that are not magnetic. We find that a surface wave in the shallow burning layer changes to a crustal interface wave as the envelope cools, a new and previously uninvestigated ph...
