in iran, fine grained formations (neogene's units) are very susceptible to erosion. also, they are the units producing runoff and causing soil loss in watersheds. the objectives of this study is to assess the effect of physical - chemical and mechanical properties of these formations on sediment and runoff rates at different rainfall intensities, based on using field simulator in taleghan ...

Detailed magnetostratigraphic studies of Late Neogene siliciclastic sediments of the Awatere Group, South Island, New Zealand (41°45'S, 174°05'E) have revealed a wide range of palaeomagnetic behaviour. Examination of rock magnetic properties was undertaken using conventional palaeomagnetic techniques and thermomagnetic, X-ray diffraction and electron microprobe analyses. These analyses indicate...

The study of the chondrichthyan fauna from the Angostura, Onzole, Canoa and Jama formations, in the Neogene of Bordón and Manabí basins, Ecuador, reveals the presence of 30 taxa, including the deep water shark yChlamydoselachus landinii sp. nov. The assemblages are dominated by tropical shallow and deep water chondrichthyans, suggesting paleoenvironments associated with a short platform shelf b...

this paper provides an overview on obtaining low-carbon ultra-fine grained dual-phase steels through rapid intercritical annealing of cold-rolled sheet as improved materials for automotive applications. a laboratory processing route was designed that involves cold-rolling of a tempered martensite structure followed by a second tempering step to produce a fine grained aggregate of ferrite and ca...

introduction: soil genesis and development in arid and semi-arid areas are strongly affected by geological formations and geomorphic surfaces. various morphological, physical, and geochemical soil properties at different geomorphic positions are usually attributed to different soil forming factors including parent material and climate. due to variations in climate, geological formations (quater...

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks (shale and mudstone) play important roles in global CO2 abatement efforts through their uses in carbon capture and storage (CCS), radioactive waste storage, and shale gas extraction. These different technologies, however, rely on seemingly conflicting premises regarding the sealing properties of shale and mudstone, suggesting that those rocks that lend themselves ...

Soils at the ground surface experience multiple cycles of drying and wetting. On drying, soils shrinkage cracks may appear. The development depends on tensile strength soil. Such increase permeability soil can cause slopes earth structures to fail due rainfall. Several models have been proposed for unsaturated considering effect matric suction. However, are either cohesionless (coarse-grained) ...
