For the last fifty years, the design floods of a number of embankment dams were re-evaluated and the revised spillway outflows are often larger than the original design discharges. Several embankment overtopping protection systems were developed for earthfill structures, and the applications range from river dykes to tsunami protections including embankment dams. Well-known designs include timb...

The paleogeography of the Meso-Neoproterozoic Rodinia supercontinent remains debated partly because many stable cratons still lack reliable paleomagnetic data for this period. A new geochronological and study was conducted on NNW-trending Manso dyke swarm southern West Africa (Ghana) to clarify position unconstrained continent in Rodinia. Two UPb apatite ages 857.2 ± 8.5 Ma 855 16 agree with on...
