The reconstruction of the proto-type basin and tectono-paleogeography Tarim Basin during Mesozoic is crucial for hydrocarbon exploration, particularly identifying source rocks. This study reconstructs position, thickness, distribution original stratigraphy, shortening amount by structural deformation, sedimentary facies in each period using paleomagnetic data, residual stratigraphy seismic prof...

The Asinara Island Marine Protected Area (AMP) (Sardinia, Italy) represents one of the most uncontaminated areas Mediterranean Sea and, therefore, but misses an accurate mapping biocenoses and associated lithologies present on sea floor. provided map has highlighted presence 21 laying rocky or sandy substrate if shallower deeper respectively. recurring are: Posidonia oceanica L (Delile) coralli...

Abstract Stratospheric water vapor (SWV) variations play an important role in influencing the Earth's energy budget. Here, we investigate SWV past 250 million years (Myr) using a fully coupled Earth System Model. It is found that both CO 2 concentration and paleogeography have prominent influences on variations, while solar insolation plays minor role. The increases with surface warming stratos...

Abstract The paleoenvironmental and paleogeographic development of the Norwegian–Greenland seaway remains poorly understood, despite its importance for oceanographic climatic conditions Paleocene–Eocene greenhouse world. Here we present analyses sedimentological paleontological characteristics deposits (between 63 47 million years old) in northeast Greenland, investigate key unconformities volc...

Abstract Continent-derived tectonic units in the Tauern Window of Alps exhibit stratigraphic and structural traces extension continental margins eventually leading to opening Alpine Tethys. In this study, we reassess lithostratigraphic data from central part reconstruct post-Variscan evolution area, particularly rift-related geometry European margin. The lithostratigraphy nappes reflects system...
