during this survey 29 sites have been recognized totally. settlement patterns determined base of environmental characteristics such as altitude, ground slope, source of water, petrology and geology, vegetations, land use and specifications of sites including width, chronology, regional distribution and density and all of them have been divided by using geographic information systems (gis) and c...

Allochthonous and autochthonous organic matter deposited in benthic sediments are mineralized by microbial communities, resulting in release of nutrients to the water column. Lakes with different trophic states may have sediments with different carbon and nutrient concentration with consequently different microbial communities. Microbial diversity of surface sediments of three subtropical lakes...

In the current paper, analysis of heavy mineral concentrate (Schlich analysis) was used to study particles technogenic origin in samples urban surface-deposited sediments (USDS). The USDS were collected residential areas 10 Russian cities located different economic, climatic, and geological zones: Ufa, Perm, Tyumen, Chelyabinsk, Nizhny Tagil, Magnitogorsk, Novgorod, Rostov-on-Don, Murmansk, Eka...

The Mozambique and Madagascar margins present major rivers that are responsible for the discharge of large amounts terrestrial organic matter (OM) which can influence carbon cycling in marine environments. Therefore, channel represents a unique case to study fate deep-water domains. Using new extensive data set sedimentary OM collected from sediment traps, seafloor sediments core sediments, we ...

Basal interaction beneath frontally-emergent mass-transport deposits has been widely documented in seismic data, but its effect on deposit heterogeneity not convincingly calibrated at outcrop. Several blocky occur as part of the Late Eocene Ventimiglia Flysch north-west Italy, comprising slope-derived marlstones, representing original slide, and turbidite material, entrained after erosion subst...

Glacio-isostatically induced seismic activity is recognized to play a major role in triggering submarine mass-movements along formerly glaciated continental margins. Ice load removal is known to cause fault instability and generate many earthquakes in these regions immediately after deglaciation. With rates of forced regression of ~7 m/100 yr at time of deglaciation (8-7 ka BP), southeastern Hu...
