Passive continental margin subsidence is initiated by the synrift mechanical stretching of the lithospheric upper brittle layer and continues during the postrift phase; the thermal cooling and contraction of the upwelled asthenosphere forces the margin to subside in addition to the overloads from sea water and sediments. Therefore, the total subsidence in stretched basins includes faultcontroll...

The last thirty years have seen major changes in the relationship between humanity and Earth system. United Nations Conference on Environment Development, RIO 92, brought both society scientific community, general, perception of need for an integrated view meaning irresponsible intensity exploitation natural resources, by definition restricted to planet.

The study area is situated in the Middle part of the Tabas Block. It contains outcrops of rocks that formed along longitudinal faults in Early Cimmerian orogenic phase. The basin subsided along these faults from the Late Triassic to Early Cretaceous, which include two sedimentary cycles. A sedimentary cycle, related to Upper Triassic to Bajocian is known as Shemshak group. Another sedimentary c...

Abstract The paper introduces the transboundary approach for landscape geointerpretation using a karst (NW Dinaric Karst) as an example. It proposes that focuses on attractive geoheritage themes are unique to landscape, such “duality” of (surface and underground landscape), geodiversity geohistory explorations. Four representative types presented in two neighbouring countries, Slovenia (SI) Cro...
