This work presents the chronology of the Holocene filling of the Guadalentín Tectonic Depression (Murcia, SE Spain) combining ¹⁴C and OSL age data. This work studies the sediments and paleosols interbedded in the sedimentary sequence between T...

Over 1 million volcanoes on the Earth surface occur in marine and submarine environments in different geodynamic contexts [...]

In geoscientific fields, mathematical modelling, numerical analysis, visualization, simulation, and other computational techniques have become necessary to improve our understanding of phenomena and evolution of the Earth [...]

Benthic foraminiferal assemblages have been studied at 11 sediment surface samples located in the Neretva Channel covering the delta habitat and the adjacent open sea areas. The major objective of the investigation was to explore the main environment...

The current prototype of a fully automatic earthquake tsunami hazard assessment system, “Tsunami Observer”, is described. The transition of the system to the active phase of operation occurs when information about a strong earthquake (M_w...

Upward surface movement or uplift has been extensively observed above abandoned and flooded deep coal mines, which used the longwall mining method, i.e., a caving method. Detailed analysis of satellite measurements indicated that the process of uplif...

The establishment of quality requirements of clay-based products, for medicinal, wellness, and aesthetic purposes, is mainly sustained by the good interactions between the clay-based formulation and the skin. The release of ionizable elements and the...

Volatiles transported from the Earth’s interior to the surface through permeable faults provide insights on the gas composition of deep reservoirs, mixing and migration processes, and can also be applied as gas-geothermometer. Here, we present...

In this study, we analyze the fault and fracture network of the Middle Triassic carbonate platform of the Lastoni di Formin (Italian Dolomites, Italy). The reconstruction of the deformation history is of primary importance for a full comprehension of...

Conventional and varietal heavy mineral studies of the earliest Eocene Hermod S2 Member (Mbr) sandstones in the Greater Alvheim area of the northern North Sea have revealed marked lateral variations and more subtle vertical evolution in provenance si...

Soil liquefaction or instability, one of the most catastrophic phenomena, has attracted significant research attention in recent years. The main cause of soil liquefaction or instability is the reduction in the effective stress in the soil due to the...

The Earth’s revolution is modified by changes in inclination of its rotation axis. Its trajectory is not closed and the equinoxes drift. Changes in polar motion and revolution are coupled through the Liouville–Euler equations. Milankovi&#...

The French region adjacent to the Mediterranean basin is vulnerable to hydrological risks generated by convective precipitation in the form of heavy rainfall and conditioned by the configuration of the relief. These risks are driven by the increase i...

Lefkada and Corfu old towns are located in the western part of Greece, in the Ionian Sea. Their proximity to the Hellenic subduction zone (HSZ) is the reason for their intense seismicity. The main goal of this study was the estimation of the geotechn...

The purpose of this paper is to propose the quasi-linear theory of tsunami run-up and run-down on a beach with complex bottom topography. We begin with the one-dimensional nonlinear shallow-water wave equations, which we consider over a beach of comp...

In the last decades, the application fields of exploration geophysics have considerably broadened, reinforcing the relevance of exploration geophysics courses both within geosciences and non-geosciences degrees. Among these courses, those with a hand...

The soils of uplands and partially isolated landforms located in the central Volga region were investigated in terms morphology, diversity and geogenic factor specificity. The Samarskaya Luka area is characterized by extreme spatial inhomogeneity and...

Epidote group minerals are one of the three most abundant kinds of heavy minerals in orogenic sediments, the other two being amphibole and garnet. They resist diagenesis better than amphibole and resist weathering in soils better than garnet. Their c...

The present research illustrates the application of a methodological approach to studying the stress–strain distribution in a marble quarry of the Apuan Alps mining area (Italy). This study has been carried out in the framework of a project inv...

Change in sea levels, be they isostatic or eustatic, impact humans and the paleogeography they inhabit. In this paper we examine paleogeography at Iqaluktuuq, a section of the Ekalluk River, Victoria Island, Nunavut, between Tahiryuaq (Ferguson Lake)...

Currently recognised lithospheric models hypothesise the non-existence of a lithospheric slab (a so-called slab gap) in the area of the Northern Dinarides, and the possible existence of a shallow slab in the Southern Dinarides. These geological model...

Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) is a robust and well-consolidated method largely applied in near-surface geophysics. Nevertheless, the mapping of the spatial resistivity patterns of the subsurface at a depth greater than 1 km was performed in...

Built in the early 18th century on the banks of the Saint-François River (Quebec, QC, Canada), the fortified Jesuit mission of Saint-François-de-Sales was an important Abenaki centre during the colonial period. Between 2010 and 2021, ar...

The reuse of vintage datasets which were acquired in the 20th century can pose challenges for modern geophysical modeling due to missing detailed preprocessing information, significant uncertainties, or lack of precise tracking, etc. Nevertheless, th...

The assessment of rock outcrops’ predisposition to the main possible kinematisms represents the preliminary step of stability analysis: Markland’s tests for sliding and toppling constitute a milestone due to the ease of use and interpreta...

We reassess the architecture and tectonic history of the Western Alps based on recent knowledge developed at rifted margins. First, we replace the main Alpine units of our study area into a synthetic rifted margin template based on diagnostic petrolo...

In this study, we investigated the structural evolution of the Vértessomló (VT) Thrust and the Környe-Zsámbék (KZ) Fault, which are located in the Transdanubian Range in the center of the Miocene Pannonian back-arc ba...

With the recent push for a transition towards a climate-resilient economy, the demand on marine resources is accelerating. For many economic exploits, a comprehensive understanding of environmental parameters underpinning seabed morphodynamics in tid...

This study investigates the contribution of global geopotential models which are calculated with GOCE satellite mission data to the improvement of gravimetric geoid models in Turkey. In this context, direct (DIR), time-wise (TIM), space-wise (SPW), a...

Over the years, people’s interest in protecting the natural environment and its resources has increased significantly. In this context, natural parks have become a new tourist destination, which has grown exponentially in recent decades and dev...

Gully erosion susceptibility mapping (GESM) through predicting the spatial distribution of areas prone to gully erosion is required to plan gully erosion control strategies relevant to soil conservation. Recently, machine learning (ML) models have re...
