Evidence of volcaniclastic sedimentation occurs in the first depositional sequence sedimentary succession Amantea Basin. Volcaniclastic deposits are intercalated upper part a sandstone formation and these show maximum thickness about 8 m. The Basin is Neogene depozone located along Tyrrhenian margin Calabria whose onset started during Upper Serravallian. source volcano to materials had have bee...

This research uses a formula approach. In has several variables. The variables in this are tidal, ocean current speed and direction, wave height period, type of geological structure the coast sediment grain size materials, slope beach coastline wind direction. number samples or observation points at 27, with interval distance every point is 200 m. results were analyzed waves determinants abrasi...

Abstract The Jenkyns Event or Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic was an episode of severe environmental perturbations reflected in carbon isotope and other geochemical anomalies. Although well studied the epicontinental basins NW Europe, its effects are less understood open marine environments. Here we present new (carbon isotope, CaCO 3 , [Mn]) nannofossil biostratigraphic data from Tölgyhát Kisgerecse s...

Historical sediment nutrient concentrations and heavy-metal distributions were studied in fi ve embayments in the Gulf of Finland and an adjacent lake. Th e main objective of the study was to examine the response of these water bodies to temporal changes in human activities. Sediment cores were collected from the sites and dated using 210Pb and 137Cs. Th e cores were analyzed for total carbon (...

Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for marine organisms, and it is now well established that low Fe availability controls phytoplankton productivity, community structure, and ecosystem functioning in vast regions of the global ocean. The biogeochemical cycle of Fe involves complex interactions between lithogenic inputs (atmospheric, continental, or hydrothermal), dissolution, precipitation...

Advances in water chemistry in the last decade have improved our knowledge about the genesis, composition, and structure of dissolved organic matter, and its effect on the environment. Improvements in analytical technology, for example Fourier-transform ion cyclotron (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry (MS), homo and hetero-correlated multidimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and e...

The 3.43 billion-year-old Strelley Pool Chert, Pilbara Craton, Western Australia, contains compelling evidence of Early Archaean life in the form of kilometre-sized remnants of an ancient stromatolitic carbonate platform. Reviewing and building on earlier studies, we examine the fossilized remains of the platform to seek ecosystem-scale insights to Earth’s early biosphere, examining the evidenc...
