Melt viscosity, temperature and transport processes, Troodos ophiolite, Cyprus
The lava section in the Troodos ophiolite, Cyprus, is chemically stratified and divided into a shallow lava sequence with low TiO2 content and a deeper lava sequence with high TiO2 content. We calculate the viscosity at magmatic temperature based on major element chemistry of lavas in Cyprus Crustal Drilling Project (CCSP) Holes CY-1 and 1A. We find that typical shallow low-Ti lavas have a magm...
متن کاملA Model for the Plate Tectonic Evolution of the Eastern Mediterranean Region that Emphasizes the Role of Transform (Strike-Slip) Structures
A model for the tectonic evolution of the Eastern Mediterranean region from Mesozoic to Present is developed from geological, geophysical, and seismological data on and surrounding the island of Cyprus. This model emphasizes the role of major transform structures in accommodating horizontal plate motions, driven from the west by spreading along the Atlantic-Arctic mid-ocean-ridge system and fro...
متن کاملA Robust Hough Transform Technique for Complete Line Segment Description
When the Hough transform is applied to the detection of straight lines in images, it provides only the parameters of the line but not the length or the end points of the line. We propose a new algorithm for the determination of the length and the end points of a line in an image. It is very eecient in terms of computing time and does not depend on the sharpness of the peak in the accumulator ar...
متن کاملComplete line segment description using the Hough transform
The Hough transform is a robust method for detecting discontinuous patterns in noisy images. When it is applied to the detection of a straight line, represented by the normal parameters, the transform provides only the length of the normal and the angle it makes with the axis. The transform gives no information about the length or the end points of the line. A few authors have suggested algorit...
متن کاملThe Impact of Vegetation on Lithological Mapping Using Airborne Multispectral Data: A Case Study for the North Troodos Region, Cyprus
Vegetation cover can affect the lithological mapping capability of spaceand airborne instruments because it obscures the spectral signatures of the underlying geological substrate. Despite being widely accepted as a hindrance, few studies have explicitly demonstrated the impact vegetation can have on remote lithological mapping. Accordingly, this study comprehensively elucidates the impact of v...
