Metabasic rocks (eclogites and amphibolites) from four Betic ophiolite outcrops (Lugros, Almirez, Cóbdar, and Algarrobo), comprising Ol-Px gabbros, dolerites, and MORB-affinity basalts, were studied. U-Pb SHRIMP zircon dating yielded Early to...

Soil piping is the process by which subsurface water creates and enlarges channels, or “pipes,” within soil, enabling rapid and preferential flow beneath the surface. The collapse of these eroded pipes can lead to land degradation, gully...

Determining a high-precision national geoid is a fundamental step in modernizing Kazakhstan’s vertical reference system. However, the country’s vast territory, complex topography, and limited coverage of modern terrestrial and airborne gr...

Unauthorized fossil trafficking violates national legislation and deprives cultural and natural heritage. This study proposes a pilot method to fingerprint the origin of fossils by characterizing the carbon and oxygen stable isotope signatures of fos...

Flash floods in Mediterranean mountain catchments are a significant natural hazard, but systematic historical records of their occurrence are often lacking. This study reconstructs the history of torrential activity in the previously unexplored Arroy...

The need to mathematically model and numerically simulate the effect of temperature on the hydro-mechanical behavior of soils, driven by the increased interest in energy geostructures and sundry other geothermal systems, has necessitated the developm...

The Manicouagan impact structure in northeastern Canada is one of the largest, well-documented impact sites among Phanerozoic structures. Once considered a candidate for the cause of end-Triassic extinctions, radioisotopic dating of impact melt rock...

The Editorial Office was informed of several errors in the published version compared to the author’s original version [...]

The Kavokta deposit in Russia contains gray and black dolomite-type nephrite, which is in high demand commercially. Although the fact that black nephrite has been found in several deposits, the reasons for its color are not well understood. The prese...

Reservoir landslides undergo saturated–unsaturated transitions under hydrological variations. Matric suction significantly influences slip-zone soil strength. Existing studies lack analysis of suction–rate–strength coupling, while A...
