The Jurassic Ligurian Tethys, a fossil ultraslow‐spreading ocean: the mantle perspectiveGeological Society Special Publication - Tập 293 Số 1 - Trang 11-34 - 2008
Giovanni B. Piccardo
Abstract Alpine–Apennine ophiolites derive from the Jurassic Ligurian Tethys
oceanic basin formed by lithosphere extension and failure in the pre-Triassic
Europe–Adria system. The basin was floored by mantle peridotites and was
characterized by along-axis alternation of avolcanic and volcanic segments.
Lithosphere extension and thinning caused asthenosphere adiabatic upwelling and
decompressional ... hiện toàn bộ
A combined chemical and Pb-Sr-Nd isotope study of the Azores and Cape Verde hot-spots: the geodynamic implicationsGeological Society Special Publication - Tập 42 Số 1 - Trang 231-255 - 1989
G.R. Davies, R. A. Cliff, Michael J Norry, David C. Gerlach
Summary The mafic lavas of the Azores and Cape Verde Islands are of a highly
varied composition, reflecting a complex history of magma genesis and a variety
of source compositions. The lavas of the Cape Verde Islands are
characteristically highly silica undersaturated, with alkali-rich ankaramites,
larnite-normative melilitites and carbonatites. In contrast, the lavas of the
Azores vary from stron... hiện toàn bộ
Interactive inverse methodology applied to stratigraphic forward modellingGeological Society Special Publication - Tập 239 Số 1 - Trang 147-156 - 2004
Chris Wijns, Thomas Poulet, Fabio Boschetti, Chris Dyt, Cedric M. Griffiths
Abstract An effective inverse scheme that can be applied to complex 3-D
hydrodynamic forward models has so far proved elusive. In this paper we
investigate an interactive inverse methodology that may offer a possible way
forward. The scheme builds on previous work in linking expert review of
alternate output to rapid modification of input variables. This was tested using
the SEDSIM 3-D stratigraph... hiện toàn bộ
Rootless cones on Mars: a consequence of lava-ground ice interactionGeological Society Special Publication - Tập 202 Số 1 - Trang 295-317 - 2002
S. A. Fagents, P. D. Lanagan, R. Greeley
Abstract Fields of small cratered cones on Mars are interpreted to have formed
by rootless eruptions due to explosive interaction of lava with ground ice
contained within the regolith beneath the flow. Melting and vaporization of the
ice, and subsequent explosive expansion of the vapour, act to excavate the lava
and construct a rootless cone around the explosion site. Similar features are
found in... hiện toàn bộ
Deformation processes in unconsolidated sandsGeological Society Special Publication - Tập 29 Số 1 - Trang 11-24 - 1987
Geraint Owen
Summary Deformation in unconsolidated sands requires the action of a deformation
mechanism to reduce sediment strength and a driving force to induce deformation.
Deformation mechanisms include liquefaction and fluidization and are reflected
in the style of deformation and grain orientation fabrics. They are initiated by
a trigger, including groundwater movements, wave action and seismic shaking.

The liquification and remobilization of sandy sedimentsGeological Society Special Publication - Tập 94 Số 1 - Trang 63-76 - 1995
Robert J. Nichols
Abstract A number of large, unusually shaped sandbodies have been interpreted
from three-dimensional seismic data of hydrocarbon-bearing Tertiary submarine
fan deposits of the North Sea. The unusual sandbody shape is considered to have
resulted from post-depositional liquification of turbidite deposits. An
understanding of liquification processes may therefore be important in
delineating reservoir... hiện toàn bộ
The metamorphism of the Tibetan Series from the Manang area, Marsyandi Valley, Central NepalGeological Society Special Publication - Tập 74 Số 1 - Trang 357-374 - 1993
Christian Schneider, L. Masch
Abstract In the Manang area a distinctive metamorphic zonation with grade
increasing downward to deeper structural levels of the Tibetan Series can be
observed. The first appearance of prograde biotite/phlogopite introducing the
metamorphic zonation can be located in the Devonian Tilicho Pass Formation. The
Silurian Dark Band Formation contains prograde titanite. Tremolite is not
observed to the w... hiện toàn bộ
Late Permian anoxia in central East GreenlandGeological Society Special Publication - Tập 58 Số 1 - Trang 275-290 - 1991
Stefan Piasecki, Lars Stemmerik
Abstract The Upper Permian Foldvik Creek Group of the East Greenland Basin
provides excellent possibilities for studying regional anoxia, because the
basinal, anoxic facies of the Ravnefjeld Formation are well exposed throughout
this 400 km long and more than 80 km wide basin. The shales of the Ravnefjeld
Formation are dominated by two units of laminated, organic-rich, calcareous
mudshales. The ab... hiện toàn bộ
