Abstract:
... A geological survey was conducted in a small valley along the Sanriku coast, and the grain compositions of both autochthonous gravels and the 2011 tsunami deposit from the Tohoku-oki earthquake were investigated to reveal the depositional form of the tsunami deposits on the ria-type coast. The features of autochthonous gravels in the beach, riverbed, and slope areas are characterized by a combinat ...

Abstract:
... In the Quaternary Sarıkavak fluvial tufa deposits, situated in south-western Turkey, different facies have been identified and their mutual relationships have been unravelled. This tufa formation is located at the northern part of Acıgöl Graben. The development of the Sarıkavak tufas represents typical fluvial and fluvio-palustrine environments. In total eight tufa lithofacies have been differenti ...

Abstract:
... This paper presents the first attempt at qualitatively and quantitatively evaluating the sedimentary contribution of the Puna plateau to the loess and soils of the Argentinean Pampas. The origin of the Pampean sediment has been traditionally ascribed to northern Patagonia, but new evidence supports a dual supply: western Central Andes/North Patagonia and Puna/Altiplano Plateau. Three different lin ...

Abstract:
... We provide a detailed and critical account on the comparative study of modern palynoassemblages recovered from the natural pollen trapping media/substrates such as surface soils/sediments, moss cushions/polsters, modern tree bark samples and spider web samples, collected from various localities of Chhattisgarh, central India. The study shows that moss polsters demonstrate true vegetation scenario ...

Abstract:
... The Maricá “restinga”, located on the eastern part of Rio de Janeiro State (Brazil), corresponds to one of the few remaining preserved areas of the state's coastal plain. This coastline presents two sand barriers separated by a depression where there is a freshwater swamp and different plant communities distributed in areas of high ecological diversity accompanying the local topography and the ran ...
