well exposed famennian, mainly carbonate rocks of the bahram formation in the vicinity of bagher abad village, central iran,yielded chondrichthyan teeth some sarcopterygii and actinopterygii teeth and fragments. three different genera were recognizedamong the chondrichthyan teeth represented by: phoebodus turnerae, ph. spp., deihim mansureae (m2, m3), stethacanthus sp..acanthodian and sarcopter...

Spatio-temporal distribution of epifauna collected with a sledge was studied on the Cilician shelf of the Mediterranean Sea. There were two different communities: the shallow community was restricted to water at 5 and 10 m deep with sandy bottom inhabited abundantly by Conomurex persicus, Arnoglossus laterna and Murex trunculus. Conomurex persicus, an introduced tropical species predominated th...

biofacies and palaeoecology of the limestone of the jahrum formation in the lar area in the southwest of iran (zagros basin) is addressed in this paper. our detailed analysis of biofacies and palaeoecology shows that the jahrum formation in the studied area were deposited in a carbonate open shelf dominated by heterozoan and, subordinately, photozoan skeletal assemblages. based on analysis of l...

[1] In summer on the shallow New England continental shelf, near the coast the water temperature is much cooler than the observed surface heat flux suggests. Using depth‐integrated heat budgets in 12 and 27 m water depth calculated from observed surface heat flux, water temperature, and velocity, we demonstrate that on time scales of weeks to months the water is persistently cooled due to a mea...

The time evolution of ice sheets and ice shelves is modelled by combining a shallow lubrication approximation for shear deformation with the shallow shelf approximation for basal sliding, along with the mass conservation principle. At each time step two p-Laplace problems and one transport problem are solved. Both p-Laplace problems are formulated as minimisation problems. They are approximated...

We present the Potsdam Parallel Ice Sheet Model (PISM-PIK), developed at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research to be used for simulations of large-scale ice sheet-shelf systems. It is derived from the Parallel Ice Sheet Model (Bueler and Brown, 2009). Velocities are calculated by superposition of two shallow stress balance approximations within the entire ice covered region: the sha...

In this paper, a shallow-water flow solver is presented, based on the finite-volume method on unstructured grids The method is suitable for flows that occur in rivers, channels, sewer systems (1D), shallow seas, rivers, overland flow (2D), and estuaries, lakes and shelf breaks (3D). We present an outline of the numerical approach and show three 2D test cases and an application of tidal propagat...
