to the sedimentology of lunette dunes in the vicinity and the spring mound itself. The complex history is unravelled with the reworking of the aeolian sediments and faunal remains and Stone Age artifacts. - (AJC)
This paper presents the study of some liquefaction features occurred near the Fossa village due to the April 6, 2009 L’Aquila earthquake (Central Italy). The investigation is based on trenching and coring campaigns as well as sedimentological
for a paleo-liquefaction event is discussed. Sedimentologic and morphoscopic analyses both provided the necessary elements and parameters to link the ca. 4 m deep sandy layers to the 2009 sand blows on the ground surface as well as to the paleo-liquefaction
Integrated sedimentological and micropalaeontological analyses of Montesecco Clays cropping out along the Molise Apennines foothills allow to reconstruct the depositional setting and major palaeoenvironmental changes within the Molise Periadriatic
Basin (Apenninic foredeep) during the Late Pliocene and Early Pleistocene. Sedimentological and palaeocological data from 4 reference stratigraphic sections document an overall shallowing-upward tendency within Montesecco Clays, which is also confirmed
A detailed study has been carried out, integrating biostratigraphy, sedimentology and physical stratigraphy, on Albian-Eocene pelagic sediments (Hybla and Amerillo formations) of the western sector of Rocca Busambra (Trapanese Domain, Western Sicily
Four retrogressive thaw slumps (RTS) located on Herschel Island and the Yukon coast (King Point) were investigated to compare the environmental, sedimentological and geochemical setting and characteristics of zones in active and stabilised slumps
and at undisturbed sites. In general, the slope, sedimentology and biogeochemistry of stabilised and undisturbed zones differ, independent of their age or location. Organic carbon contents were lower in slumps than in the surrounding tundra, and the density
characteristics and sedimentology of these megafans were compared. These fans developed their geometry mainly in response to different weathering intensities of their catchment bedrock lithologies. The other major variables , such as tectonics, climatic change
of remotely sensed data can greatly improve the understanding of fan dynamics, and should lead to better cross-scale integration between short-term process-based approaches and long-term sedimentological applications, while maintaining high quality field-based
The AA. investigate the paleo-channel fill at Stöttham using a combination of various field sedimentological and pedological methods together with extensive laboratory investigations, all with the aim of characterizing the genesis of the relevant
a chronostratigraphy for the paleo-channel fill. Taken together, the sedimentological, pedological and chronological data argue strongly against any catastrophic geomorphological event as the origin of the channel fill at Stöttham. On the contrary, the studies provide
how basaltic particles weather both physically and chemically so that it will be possible to apply traditional sedimentological concepts, such as sediment maturity, to understanding aeolian processes on Venus and Mars. Here, 3 areas where Earth analogs
Geomorphological and sedimentological investigations in the lower reaches of the Orkhon River in northern Mongolia provide evidence for Late Pleistocene terraces, Holocene soil development, aeolian accumulation, soil erosion and slope wash
The study area is located in the mid-Polish Lowland and is characterized by depositional forms of Weichselian age. The Pleistocene Cieśle succession accumulated in a subglacial tunnel and shows three sedimentological units. The AA. focus on angular
processes on Mars. Fieldwork was conducted to collect essential geomorphological and sedimentological data, and to establish a baseline for the type and morphometry of dunes, physical properties, interactions with topography, and saltation pathways
