Purpose. The work studies Sinjar formation (upper Paleocene lower Eocene) within the Bazyan anticline in Sulaimaniyah region (northeastern Iraq). facies analysis is based on petrographic study of limestone deposits and essential to identify their nature. sediments that formed have a high content skeletal granules which include small amount red algae residues unicellular organisms-foraminifera. ...

Long-wavelength SAR backscattering from glacier ice is of high relevance for glaciological applications since it contains information about both surface and subsurface structure of the ice. For this reason, SAR sensors can be used to discriminate and delineate the different glacier facies and to extract information on the ice density, which today can only be estimated on point basis. In this pa...

Ocean basins are formed when continents are broken apart. Adiabatic melt generation that is driven by rifting of continental lithosphere is strongly dependent on the rate of extension. Slow extension results in conductive heat loss from the upwelling mantle, whereas cooling is limited during fast extension and can result in the geotherm intersecting the peridotite solidus. However, there are fe...

These days “estimating uncertainty” is the mantra. As we do this, we ask ourselves which is better: an array of geologically simple rapidly history-matched models, or a single geologically comprehensive, carefully history-matched model. After all, uncertainty, which is normally characterized by a range of forecasts from techniques such as Experimental Design, is difficult to quantify using just...

This study showcases the value of drone photogrammetry in creating a meter-scale geological model complex carbonate geobodies. Although is now commonly used for modeling sedimentary facies and architecture sandstone outcrops, its use not widespread geomodels Drone can generate accurate line-drawing correlation detailed analysis along inaccessible vertical faces outcrops permits observations unr...

More than 200 specimens from different occurrences of the Rogaland igneous complex and surrounding granulite facies metamorphic rocks (S. W. Norway) have been analysed by a direct non-destructive proton induced gamma-ray emission (PIGE) technique. The fluorine contents vary from < 25 ppm to 3500 ppm. There is a good correlation between the concentration of fluorine and that of phosphorus for ig...

Anti-epileptic drugs administered during pregnancy can cause structural defects in the growing fetus and result in adverse neurodevelopmental outcome later in life. Fetal valproate syndrome (FVS) results from teratogenic effects of valproic acid exposure in the prenatal period. It is characterised by a distinctive dysmorphic facies and a cluster of minor and major anomalies, as well as developm...

Freeman-Sheldon syndrome is a morphologically well-defined syndrome that results in a dysmorphic status combining bone anomalies and joint contractures with characteristic facies. FSS (FreemanSheldon Syndrome) is also known as craniocarpotarsal dysplasia (or dystrophy), distal arthrogryposis type IIA (DAIIA), whistling face syndrome, and whistling face-windmill vane hand syndrome. The syndrome ...
