Abstract:
... The Olenek Artesian Basin contains in its subsurface huge reserves of hydromineral resources with extremely high concentrations of many useful components. The presented estimates of prospective reserves of brines drained by a large diamond-mining quarry proves the extremely high potential of the use of “liquid ore” as an alternative to solid mineral deposits. ...

Rainfall products based on satellite estimates and/or ground observations have proven to be a viable alternative in the recent evolving campaigns to overcome this deficiency. The newly-borne country within the Nile Basin, South Sudan, has extremely few operating rain gage station ...

Abstract:
... Neck cutoff is an essential process that significantly changes the morphodynamic characteristics of a meandering bend. In reality, however, observing natural processes of a neck cutoff is very difficult. In this study, we artificially triggered neck cutoffs by excavating a 0.4 m (width) × 0.5 m (depth) ditch to connect the beginning and ending of two highly convoluted bends along a meandering trib ...

Abstract:
... This article examines the power interplay that shapes the transboundary water interaction in the Brahmaputra River basin. The article provides two key insights based on data sharing and bilateralism aspects. First, the lack of a standard, hydrological data-sharing mechanism has created a sense of mistrust between riparians. Second, bilateralism and power asymmetry between the riparian countries ha ...

Abstract:
... Regionalization and pooling stations to form homogeneous regions or communities are essential for reliable parameter transfer, prediction in ungauged basins, and estimation of missing information. Over the years, several clustering methods have been proposed for regional analysis. Most of these methods are able to quantify the study region in terms of homogeneity but fail to provide microscopic in ...

Abstract:
... Yardangs are a type of wind-sculpted landform which generally form in hyper-arid regions. Several factors affect the development of yardangs, and the relative importance of these factors likely varies with differences in regional environmental factors. In the Loulan region of Lop Nur, wind dynamics are the principal factor affecting the development of yardangs. However, layered yardangs, which hav ...

It is even more rare to be in the position to watch how these concepts and ideas, related customs, designs and decorations change together through consecutive periods and cultures as part of an interlinked system, creating very diverse p ...

These parasequences constitute the fundamental stratigraphic unit in many studies of ancient climate and life on Earth. Of interest is the uncertainty associated with the assumptions that underpin the parasequence definition and interpretation. This work presents a method that us ...

The micro-block can be divided into continental, oceanic and mantle micro-blocks according to their composi ...
