Early Jurassic–Early Cretaceous Calcareous Nannofossil Biostratigraphy and Geochemistry, Northeastern Iraqi Kurdistan: Implications for Paleoclimate and Paleoecological ConditionsGeosciences (Switzerland) - Tập 12 Số 2 - Trang 94
Nagham Omar, Tom McCann, Ali I. Al‐Juboury, M. A. Ustinova, Arkan O. Sharezwri
Early Jurassic- to Early Cretaceous-age calcareous nannofossils from the Sarki,
Sehkanyian, Sargelu, Naokelekan, Barsarin and Chia Gara formations are
investigated for the first time from the Warte area, northeastern Iraqi
Kurdistan. A range of isotopic and inorganic geochemical analyses are carried
out in order to reconstruct the paleoecological and paleoclimatic conditions
during which the Sarki... hiện toàn bộ
Morphodynamic Trends of the Ribb River, Ethiopia, Prior to Dam ConstructionGeosciences (Switzerland) - Tập 8 Số 7 - Trang 255
Chalachew Abebe Mulatu, Alessandra Crosato, Michael M. Moges, Eddy J. Langendoen, Michael E. McClain
The meandering Ribb River flows in northwest Ethiopia to Lake Tana, the source
of the Blue Nile River. The river has already undergone changes due to several
human interventions, such as embanking, sand mining, water extraction and lake
level regulation for hydropower. At present, a dam and a weir are under
construction to store and divert water for irrigation. This will strongly alter
both water ... hiện toàn bộ
Landfill Impacts on the Environment—ReviewGeosciences (Switzerland) - Tập 9 Số 10 - Trang 431
Magdalena Daria Vaverková
Waste management (WM) is a demanding undertaking in all countries, with
important implications for human health, environmental preservation,
sustainability and circular economy. The method of sanitary landfilling for
final disposal of waste remains a generally accepted and used method but the
available scientific evidence on the waste-related environmental and health
effects is not conclusive. Com... hiện toàn bộ
Geotechnical Properties of Two Pyroclastic Deposits Involved in Catastrophic Flowslides for Implementation in Early Warning SystemsGeosciences (Switzerland) - Tập 9 Số 1 - Trang 24
Lucio Olivares, Emilia Damiano, Nadia Netti, Martina De Cristofaro
Air-fall pyroclastic deposits on steep slopes in Campania (Southern Italy) are
periodically subjected to rainfall-induced landslides that may evolve into
catastrophic flowslides. To protect built-up areas, early warning systems (EWSs)
have been implemented which are essentially based on pluviometric thresholds or
models unable to accurately monitor the physical phenomena responsible for
flowslide ... hiện toàn bộ
Stable Isotope Systematics of Coalbed Gas during Desorption and ProductionGeosciences (Switzerland) - Tập 7 Số 2 - Trang 43
Martin Niemann, Michael J. Whiticar
The stable carbon isotope ratios of coalbed methane (CBM) demonstrate diagnostic
changes that systematically vary with production and desorption times. These
shifts can provide decisive, predictive information on the behaviour and
potential performance of CBM operations. Samples from producing CBM wells show a
general depletion in 13C-methane with increasing production times and
corresponding shif... hiện toàn bộ
Geotourism at the Natural Park of La Garrotxa Volcanic Zone (Catalonia, Spain): Impact, Viability, and SustainabilityGeosciences (Switzerland) - Tập 8 Số 8 - Trang 295
Llorenç Planagumà, Joan Martı́
La Garrotxa Volcanic Zone is a suitable case study to analyze the impact and
sustainability of geotourism on a protected volcanic field, as it has allowed
the transformation of a poorly known territory into one of the best known and
most visited geosites of Catalonia (Spain). The protection of this volcanic area
represented the end of legal and illegal quarrying activities that significantly

Historical Monitoring of Shoreline Changes in the Cua Dai Estuary, Central Vietnam Using Multi-Temporal Remote Sensing DataGeosciences (Switzerland) - Tập 7 Số 3 - Trang 72 - 2017
Quang Tuan, Nguyen, Cong Tin, Hoang, Quang Doc, Luong, Anh Tuan, Tran
Cua Dai is one of the major estuarine areas in Central Vietnam that plays a
significant role in local maritime transport, fisheries, and tourism activities.
This paper presents a study that monitored the shoreline dynamics of the Cua Dai
estuary over a period of 50 years (1964–2014) by using field survey data,
geographic information systems techniques, and multi-temporal satellite remote
sensing i... hiện toàn bộ
