Thrust propagation through previously faulted continental margins may result in fold and thrust belts whose structure is strongly controlled by the inherited basin architecture. A detailed geological study has been carried out in the external zone of the Umbria-Marche Apennines, from Monte San Vicino to the north, to Montagna dei Fiori to the south. Stratigraphic and structural data, together w...

In many ways, sediment transport dynamics in mountain environments differ from those of the lowlands. The high relief and the steep slopes are an obvious feature of mountain areas. The cold climate is another factor controlling runoff and erosional processes, and the distribution of vegetation is also controlled by the prevailing climate. Above the tree line, processes of erosion are more inten...

The Guaymas Basin is part of an en echelon series of short, seafloor-spreading segments in the Gulf of California. The basin is separated from adjacent deeps by long, northwest-southeast-striking transform faults, and divided into subparallel, northern and southern troughs which trend northeast to southwest. Rapid sedimentation (1 to 5 m ka 1) results in a striking morphological contrast betwee...

Although hypersaline environments pose challenges to life because of the low water content (water activity), many such habitats appear to support eukaryotic microbes. This contribution presents brief reviews of our current knowledge on eukaryotes of water-column haloclines and brines from Deep Hypersaline Anoxic Basins (DHABs) of the Eastern Mediterranean, as well as shallow-water hypersaline m...

The Kholodninskoe pyrite-polymetallic deposit (Baikal-Patom plateau, Russia) was discovered in 1968, but the questions of its genesis still remain controversial.
