For long, widely divergent views (based on isolated pieces of historical evidence or broad geological evolution of the subcontinent, notably the rise of the Himalayas in mid-late Miocene), had prevailed regarding origin and antiquity of the Thar Desert. Studies of the past few decades have since provided a wealth of new information on landform styles, evolutionary processes and palaeoclimate hi...

The Gollum Channel System (GCS) and Kings (KCS) are situated at a key location on the eastern side of Porcupine Seabight to provide valuable insight into British-Irish Ice Sheet dynamics sediment supply Belgica cold-water coral mound province.

Postencounter and circa-strike defensive contexts represent two adaptive responses to potential and imminent danger. In the context of a predator, the postencounter reflects the initial detection of the potential threat, whereas the circa-strike is associated with direct predatory attack. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate the neural organization of anticipation and av...

The Cantabrian Fault is a long-lived crustal fault, 320 km long on land and extending more than 150 km seawards within the Bay of Biscay, which separates different geodynamic domains. Due to its sub-vertical dip and late strike slip movement is poorly evidenced in the shelf and it has been traditionally mapped following the strike of the deepest submarine canyon in the north Atlantic (~4.600 m ...
