Varnish microlamination (VML) dating is a correlative age determination technique that can be used to date and correlate various geomorphic features in deserts. In this study, we establish a generalized late Quaternary (i.e., 0–300 ka) varnish layering sequence for the drylands of western USA and tentatively correlate it with the SPECMAP oxygen isotope record. We then use this climatically corr...

Following the uplift of Tibet Plateau and continuous subduction Pacific Plate, graben faulting began to appear around Ordos Block in Cenozoic. The Hetao Basin is a Cenozoic rift basin between Yinshan Mountains, Late Quaternary sedimentary strata, which have lacustrine facies, are widely distributed inside this basin. However, evolution its related fault systems has been debated for long time du...

Abandoned shorelines are an important archive used to constrain past fluctuations in the hydrological balance of lakes around globe. Within Australia, preserved at Lake George, NSW, form one few shoreline archives south-east continent that record palaeoenvironmental conditions throughout late Quaternary. Here, we examined and tested lake-level for George constructed 1970s by dating a well-prese...

People have advocated barefoot running, claiming that it is better suited to human nature. Humans usually run barefoot using a forefoot strike and run shod using a heel strike. The striking pattern was thought to be a key factor that contributes to the benefit of barefoot running. The purpose of this study is to use scientific data to prove that the striking pattern is more important than baref...

Strike-slip deformation belts are interesting structures in the crust and of significance petroleum exploration. The Shunbei 5 fault belt (SB5), a long strike-slip Tarim Basin, played an important role formation recently discovered major oilfield known as oilfield. In this study, models plan view vertical profile were established to interpret SB5 with multi-cycled tectonic activities. To end, i...

The article considers the results of GPR studies Zunduksky fault section activated between Cape Oto-Khushun and Zunduk River, in late Quaternary. aim this work is to clarify kinematic type, determine vertical displacement amplitudes, dip angles active Quaternary, as well maximum magnitude earthquake that could occur a result activation fault. was carried out by OKO-2 with shielded antenna AB-90...

The juxtaposition of natural levees results in alluvial ridges with a unique fluvial record. Our aims were to (1) identify the Upper Tisza (Hungary); (2) determine their morphological characteristics; and (3) reconstruct Late Quaternary history region. oldest paleo-meander was abandoned ca. 29 ka ago; referring early avulsion Tisza. Five identified intensive activity at 12-13 ka, 7.7-8.6 6.1-6....
