Geomorphological and sedimentological indicators are often used to reconstruct not only coastal evolution, but also relative sea level changes. In this work, we studied the sediments of Psatha bay (Alkyonides Gulf, Greece) beachrock outcrops in order evolution area. The drillings analysis included stratigraphy, sediment texture radiocarbon dating. Detailed mapping beachrocks was accomplished us...

The paper studies the effect of additives such as calcite, dolomite and sodium chloride on the mineralogical–textural and physical–mechanical behaviour of solid bricks destined for use as new materials in the restoration of historic buildings. The behavioural differences between specimens with and without carbonates can be explained by the different evolution of texture and mineralogical compos...

Majority of the process mineralogical studies can be described as optimization problems where conditions for the best economic and most resource efficient processing are sought. For solving such a problem the raw process mineralogical data is not enough; optimal solution can be found only through modelling and simulation. Automated mineralogy provides accurate and detailed information on proces...

Classification is broadly used in a range of exploration technologies. This paper will summarize standard classification methods and provide a new hybrid method for classifying spectra used in mapping mineralogy with hyperspectral remote sensing data. Classification methods commonly employed do not allow the user specifically to identify key features that give confidence as to the quality of th...

The Talbragar Fish Bed is one of Australia's most important Jurassic deposits for freshwater fishes, land plants and aquatic and terrestrial insects. The site has yielded many well preserved fossils, which has led to the formal description of numerous new species and higher taxa. The excellent preservation of many fossils has allowed detailed anatomical studies, e.g. of the early teleost fish C...
