[1] Spreading in the Adare Basin off north-western Ross Sea (43–26 Ma) and extension in the Victoria Land Basin (VLB, > 36 Ma) are used to constrain the pole of rotation for the Adare Basin, providing a rifting model for the region for the past 45 Ma. The offset from Northern Basin to VLB at about 74 S coincides with the linear Polar-3 magnetic anomaly, inferred to be caused by a major 48 34 Ma...

fish biodiversity investigation in urmia basin which is a part of irano-anatolian hot spot aimed to determine the state of fish in this endorheic basin. based on the obtained results, freshwater fish species of the urmia basin comprise 29 species in 25 genera, 7 families, 5 orders and one class. the most diverse order is the cypriniformes with 23 species (79.31%) followed by salmoniformes and p...

Site U1322 is the easternmost site drilled in the Ursa basin by Expedition 308. Of the three sites in the Ursa Basin, Site U1322 has the thinnest sediment cover above the permeable Blue Unit. The principal objectives of drilling Site U1322 were to document rock physical properties at the location of minimal overburden in the Ursa Basin, measure in-situ formation temperature and pressure, docume...

Manasi River basin is located in the north foot of Tianshan Mountain, south edge of Zhunger Basin, central-north Xinjiang province, with typical arid features of northern China. As the pressure on water resources in Manasi river basin is mounting because of rapid economic development, its conservation becomes ever more important. Climate change is another major threat to the future of water res...

This paper presents the effects of geometry of sediment bedrock interface (GSBI) of 3D basins with a circular outcropping free surface on the characteristics and the focusing of the basin-generated surface (BGS) waves and associated spatial variations of the average spectral amplification (ASA) and average aggravation factor (AAF). An increase of ASA towards the centre of the semispherical (SS-...

The digital basin is a complicated heterogeneous distributed system. There are a lot of information resources in it, include data resources, technology resources, system resources, application resources, etc. It is a primary problem needed solve and purpose in the digital basin how integrates this resources, turns it into an organic whole, provides maximum shared. Constructing information resou...

The 400,000 km Volta Basin is an international basin covering almost 28% of the West Coast. Basin of Africa. It extends from longitude 5 30 W to 2 00E and from latitude 5 30 N to 14 30 N and is shared by the six West African countries Benin, Togo, Ghana, La Cote d’Ivoire, Burkina Faso and Mali. The water resources of this basin are under severe stress due to both human and natural causes. High ...

A study of the spatial and temporal changes in land use and land cover (LULC) was conducted using Remote Sensing and GIS. We analyzed the LULC of Bharathapuzha river basin, south India using multispectral LANDSAT imageries of 1973-2005 time periods. 31% depletion in the natural vegetation cover and 8.7% depletion in wetland agriculture area were seen in the basin during the period. On the other...

New paleomagnetic data from six different sections in the Bighorn Basin are combined with previously published results to construct a basin-wide magnetostratigraphic framework. Geomagnetic polarity reversals between chrons C26r, C26n, C25r, C25n, C24r, and C24n have been identifi ed among multiple stratigraphic sections in different parts of the basin. Using the new magnetostratigraphic framewo...

Seismic reflection profiles, drill-hole data, and geologic maps delimit the form of normal faults and Tertiary sedimentary rocks in the southern half of the Cache Valley basin in northern Utah. Dips of faults and sedimentary rocks were estimated from time-migrated reflection profiles by using the stacking velocities for the data. At the southern end of the basin, the East Cache fault zone is li...
