In In order to investigating changes range of oil yield and percentage attention to plant density on three varieties of black seed, an experiment was conducted in the form of factorial based on completely randomized block designs (RCBD) with 4 replications in Saat-Loui agricultural station of West Azerbaijan province. In this research, the first factor (A) contained two levels 20 and 40 cm inte...

The location of the suture zone between South China Block (SCB) and Indochina (IB) is disputed. Recently, along Song Chay (Chay river) belt, a mélange was proposed as potential SCB IB. However, provenance age poorly known. In order to better constrain elements forming mélange, nine samples detrital material, one orthogneiss were subjected zircon U-Pb Hf isotope analysis. Detrital zircons from s...

[1] The small footprint ( 70 m) and 172 m alongtrack spacing of the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) on the Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) provides unprecedented horizontal resolution for a satellite altimeter. This enables ICESat to map many previously unresolved features on ice shelves, such as crevasses, rifts, grounding zones and ice fronts. We present examples of ...

Gravimetric and geologic data show that the reactivation of the Neogene Interandean depression and/or the ~75 65 Ma ophiolite suture into the modern dynamic of the Andes controlled the Gulf of Guayaquil Tumbes basin (GGTB) location and evolution during the past 1.8 1.6 Myr at least. Depending on whether the remobilization occurred along the interandean depression or the ophiolite suture, the GG...

Submarine melting of the calving face of tidewater glaciers and the mechanical back force applied by the ice mélange layer are two mechanisms generally proposed to explain seasonal variations at the calving front of tidewater glaciers. However, the way these processes affect the calving rate and glacier dynamics remains uncertain. In this study, we used a finite element-based model that solves ...

The Chenaillet Ophiolite is one of the best-preserved remnants of the Piemont-Liguria oceanic basin, a branch of the Central Atlantic that opened during the separation of Adria/Africa from Europe. Despite numerous studies of structure, petrology, geochemistry and isotope geochronology, the timing and genesis of various magmatic rocks within the Chenaillet Ophiolite are still controversial. We p...

Microbial abundance and diversity in deep subsurface environments is dependent upon the availability of energy and carbon. However, supplies of oxidants and reductants capable of sustaining life within mafic and ultramafic continental aquifers undergoing low-temperature water-rock reaction are relatively unknown. We conducted an extensive analysis of the geochemistry and microbial communities r...

Age delimitation integrated with aeromagnetometric and aerogammaspectrometric survey advances the understanding of ophiolite evolution in Brasiliano Orogen. We focused on Bossoroca ophiolite, because oceanic crustal mantle rocks contain zircon metasomatic chloritite. A metadiorite a metavolcanoclastic rock were also studied to delimit relationship between island-arc infrastructure superstructur...
