The International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 349 recovered Miocene oceanic red beds overlying the basaltic basement in South China Sea. occurrence of provides an opportunity to understand deep-sea redox conditions when Sea was open western Pacific during Miocene. Here, we investigated iron oxide mineral contents along with major element compositions at Site U1433 reveal oxidation...

We present an application of a novel Variational Wave Acquisition Stereo System (VWASS) for the estimation of the wave surface height of oceanic sea states. Specifically, we show that VWASS video technology combined with statistical techniques based on Euler Characteristics of random fields provides a new paradigm for the prediction of wave extremes expected over a given area of the ocean. © 20...

[1] The heat and mass balance of the Arctic Ocean is very sensitive to the growth and decay of sea ice and the interaction between the heat and salt fields in the oceanic boundary layer. The hydraulic roughne ss of sea ice controls the detailed natur e of turbulent fluxe s in the boundar y layer and hence is an important ingredient in model parameterizations. We describe a novel mechanism for t...

We used a multitemporal and multisensor satellite dataset to investigate the geological evolution of a tectonic basin of the East African Rift. The study area is the Lake Abhe-Goba'ad basin which is located at the border between Djibouti and Ethiopia. This area is the southern portion of a wide triangle-shaped depression, the Afar Depression. The Afar is one of the Earth's most geologically act...
