Babi}, Lj. & Zupani~, J.: Major events and stages in the sedimentary evolution of the Paleogene Promina basin (Dinarides, Croatia). Nat. Croat. Vol. 16, No. 4, 215-232, 2007, Zagreb. A study of sedimentary successions in different parts of the Eocene-Oligocene Promina basin has revealed major changes in the evolution of upper Promina Beds (PB). The first one refers to the origin of the erosiona...

This paper applied the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE) technique and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) procedure to evaluate the wastewater treatment for enterprises. Based on the characteristics of wastewater treatment for enterprises in Taihu basin, an evaluating index system was established for enterprise and analysis hierarchy process method was applied to determine index weight. Then t...

The evolution of the western Mediterranean of an 'interna1 zone plate' by the mechanism basin is considered. The Provence basin invoked by Karig. Lower or middle Miocene results from the Oligocene migration of Conica squeezing of the interna1 zones against the and Sardinia southeastwards. The North North Afncan platform caused ejection of the African basin was created by the dislocation flysch ...

Mesacanthus is a common and speciose genus of acanthodian fish from Lower Old Red Sandstone and Middle Old Red Sandstone assemblages (representing the Lower Devonian and Middle Devonian respectively) and is well represented in many palaeoichthyology collections in the UK. Based upon descriptions given during the 19th century, specimens of the genus Mesacanthus from the Orcadian Basin and Midlan...

Four experiments in alluvial drainage basin evolution were carried out in the Rainfall Erosion Facility (REF) at Colorado State University to investigate the dependence of basin evolution on initial topography. Basins were initially undissected. Each experiment began with a unique initial condition representing various end-members of relief and hypsometry. Drainage network development, hillslop...

[1] Among countries with river basin organizations to manage their water resources, Spain’s experience is one of the longest. One of the first basin agencies established in Spain was for the Guadalquivir River in the south. A case study of that river basin and its management indicates how basin management is shaped by political economy factors such as the historical path of the agency’s evoluti...

The geometry of foreland basins is controlled by a dynamic balance between thrust-belt migration, fl exural subsidence, and fl uvial deposition. To improve our ability to quantify the relationships between tectonics, climate, and foreland basin geometry, I developed analytic solutions for basin topography and stratigraphy using a classic two-dimensional mathematical model of foreland basin evol...

Sedimentologic, paleogeographic, stratigraphic, structural and tectonic studies in a paleo/mesoproterozoic metasedimentary succession (Espinhaço Megasequence, southeastern Brazil) indicates deposition in a rift-sag basin. Four basin evolution stages are recognized (prerift, rift, transitional and flexural). The four stages can be represented by six unconformity-bounded tectonosequences. The unc...

[1] Previous quantitative studies dealing with the origin of foreland basins have focused primarily either on the rheological basis of the lithosphere mechanical response or on the relationship between orogenic loading and sediment geometry. To link the evolution of the Guadalquivir foreland basin (South Iberia) with the thermomechanical stratification of the Iberian lithosphere, we combine qua...
