We present results from satellite imagery, ice motion surveys, and ice-penetrating radar studies of a portion of the north margin of Ice Stream C, one of the ice streams draining the West Antarctic Ice Sheet to the Ross Embayment. Our studies suggest that the shutdown of Ice Stream C about 150 years ago was not a single event but a sequence involving stagnation of ice and migration of the ice s...

Allochthonous masses are common structures in Zagros fold-thrust belt. They are generally considered as collapse structures formed by the influence of gravity and in rock units with competency contrast. However, large allochthonous masses mapped in Dowgonbadan area in Dezful Embayment near the Mountain Front Fault (MFF) of Zagros show characteristics different from the belt common collapse stru...

Coral cores provide vital climate reconstructions for site-specifi c temporal variability in river fl ow and sediment load. Yet, their ability to record spatial differences across multiple catchments is relatively unknown. Here, we investigate spatial linkages between four coral proxies of terrestrial runoff and their relationships between sites. Coral cores were drilled in and around Antongil ...

Average annual carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus budgets were constructed for Moreton Bay. Primary production was the dominant source of carbon (by two orders of magnitude), N fixation was the dominant source of nitrogen, and point sources were the dominant source of phosphorus to the bay. About 41% of the nitrogen and 70% of the phosphorus entering Moreton Bay was exported to the ocean, and abo...

Despite suggestions that extensive mixing and large-scale transport of organic matter occurs within estuarine systems and across fluvial-estuarine-coastal ecotones (Teal 1962, Odum 1980), more recent evidence in estuarine detritus-based food web systems has shown strong gradients in the sources of organic matter assimilated by consumers across diverse fluvial-estuarine-coastal ocean scales (Pet...
