Cyclostratigraphy of shallow-marine carbonates – limitations and opportunities

Strasser, André

In: Stratigraphy & Timescales, 2018, vol. 3, p. 151–187

The sedimentary record of ancient shallow-marine carbonate platforms commonly displays a stacking of different facies, which reflects repetitive changes of depositional environments through time. These changes can be induced by external factors such as cyclical changes in climate and/or sea level, but also by internal factors such as lateral migration of sediment bodies and/or changes in the...

Near-surface ventilation as a key for modeling the thermal regime of coarse blocky rock glaciers

Pruessner, Luisa ; Phillips, Marcia ; Farinotti, Daniel ; Hoelzle, Martin ; Lehning, Michael

In: Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, 2018, vol. 29, no. 3, p. 152–163

In a changing climate, ice‐rich permafrost features such as rock glaciers will experience drastic changes. Modeling the heat transport through the blocky surface layer with its large interstitial pore spaces poses some challenges as various modes of non‐conductive heat transport—advective forms in particular—can occur. Here, we show that the 1D physics‐based model SNOWPACK can be...

The early to middle triassic continental–marine transition of NW Bulgaria: sedimentology, palynology and sequence stratigraphy

Ajdanlijsky, George ; Götz, Annette E. ; Strasser, André

In: Geologica Carpathica, 2018, vol. 69, no. 2, p. 129–148

Sedimentary facies and cycles of the Triassic continental–marine transition of NW Bulgaria are documented in detail from reference sections along the Iskar river gorge between the villages of Tserovo and Opletnya. The depositional environments evolved from anastomosing and meandering river systems in the Petrohan Terrigenous Group to mixed fluvial and tidal settings in the Svidol Formation,...

Origin and age of carbonate clasts from the Lusi eruption, Java, Indonesia

Samankassou, Elias ; Mazzini, Adriano ; Chiaradia, Massimo ; Spezzaferri, Silvia ; Moscariello, Andrea ; Couto, Damien Do

In: Marine and Petroleum Geology, 2018, vol. 90, p. 138–148

Deep stratigraphic constrains below the Indonesian Lusi mud eruption are currently lacking due to the absence of deep wells and good quality seismic data. A collection of carbonate clasts has been sampled from the Lusi site, active since its birth in 2006. These specimens are part of a large variety of lithotypes erupted from the main crater. The carbonates analysed comprise scleractinian...

Growth and demise of a Paleogene isolated carbonate platform of the Offshore Indus Basin, Pakistan : effects of regional and local controlling factors

Shahzad, Khurram ; Betzler, Christian ; Ahmed, Nadeem ; Qayyum, Farrukh ; Spezzaferri, Silvia ; Qadir, Anwar

In: International Journal of Earth Sciences, 2018, vol. 107, p. 481-504

Based on high-resolution seismic and well datasets, this paper examines the evolution and drowning history of a Paleocene–Eocene carbonate platform in the Offshore Indus Basin of Pakistan. This study uses the internal seismic architecture, well log data as well as the microfauna to reconstruct factors that governed the carbonate platform growth and demise. Carbonates dominated by larger benthic...

Investigating cold based summit glaciers through direct access to the glacier base: a case study constraining the maximum age of Chli Titlis glacier, Switzerland

Bohleber, Pascal ; Hoffmann, Helene ; Kerch, Johanna ; Sold, Leo ; Fischer, Andrea

In: The Cryosphere, 2018, vol. 12, no. 1, p. 401–412

Cold glaciers at the highest locations of the European Alps have been investigated by drilling ice cores to retrieve their stratigraphic climate records. Findings like the Oetztal ice man have demonstrated that small ice bodies at summit locations of comparatively lower altitudes may also contain old ice if locally frozen to the underlying bedrock. In this case, constraining the maximum age...

Ground-penetrating radar reveals ice thickness and undisturbed englacial layers at Kilimanjaro’s Northern Ice Field

Bohleber, Pascal ; Sold, Leo ; Hardy, Douglas R. ; Schwikowski, Margit ; Klenk, Patrick ; Fischer, a, Andrea ; Sirguey, Pascal ; Cullen, Nicolas J. ; Potocki, Mariusz ; Hoffmann, Helene ; Mayewski, Paul

In: The Cryosphere, 2017, vol. 11, no. 1, p. 469–482

Although its Holocene glacier history is still subject to debate, the ongoing iconic decline of Kilimanjaro's largest remaining ice body, the Northern Ice Field (NIF), has been documented extensively based on surface and photogrammetric measurements. The study presented here adds, for the first time, ground-penetrating radar (GPR) data at centre frequencies of 100 and 200 MHz to investigate...

Caractérisation des plaques d'identification militaires en zinc provenant du site de Carpash (Alsace, Haut-Rhin, F)

Scholl, Marie-Jeanne

Mémoire de bachelor : Haute Ecole Arc Conservation-Restauration, 2013.

La fouille de l’abri Kilian à Carspach donne l’opportunité aux conservateurs-restaurateurs d’étudier le comportement des métaux modernes en contexte archéologique, au-travers des objets excavés, tels que les plaques d’identification. Le métal subit durant son enfouissement divers processus de corrosion, altérant son état initial et fragilisant l’objet. Ceux-ci dépendent de...

The Fossil Calibration Database, A New Resource for Divergence Dating

Ksepka, Daniel T. ; Parham, James F. ; Allman, James F. ; Benton, Michael J. ; Carrano, Matthew T. ; Cranston, Karen A. ; Donoghue, Philip C. J. ; Head, Jason J. ; Hermsen, Elizabeth J. ; Irmis, Randall B. ; Joyce, Walter G. ; Kohli, Manpreet ; Lamm, Kristin D. ; Leehr, Dan ; Patané, Josés L. ; Polly, P. David ; Phillips, Matthew J. ; Smith, N. Adam ; Smith, Nathan D. ; Tuinen, Marcel van ; Ware, Jessica L. ; Warnock, Rachel C. M.

In: Systematic Biology, 2015, vol. 64, no. 5, p. 853-859

Fossils provide the principal basis for temporal calibrations, which are critical to the accuracy of divergence dating analyses. Translating fossil data into minimum and maximum bounds for calibrations is the most important, and often least appreciated, step of divergence dating. Properly justified calibrations require the synthesis of phylogenetic, paleontological, and geological evidence...

Setup of galvanic sensors for the monitoring of gilded bronzes

Goidanich, Sara ; Gulotta, Davide ; Brambilla, Laura ; Beltrami, Ruben ; Fermo, Paola ; Toniolo, Lucia

In: Sensors, 2014, vol. 14, no. 4, p. 7066–7083

Traditional electrochemical techniques, such as linear polarization resistance (Rp), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cannot be applied to gilded bronzes, as it may not be possible to interpret the results obtained due to the bimetallic nature of the studied material. The measurement of the macrocouple current generated by the gold/bronze galvanic couple can be used as an...
