[1] Analysis of high resolution Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M) data reveals the presence of a prominent Mg‐spinel‐rich lithology in the central peaks of Theophilus crater on the lunar nearside. Other peak‐associated lithologies are comprised of plagioclase, olivine, and pyroxene‐bearingmaterials. A consistent spatial association of Mg‐spinel with mafic‐free anorthosite is recognized.

Soil erosion is a widespread problem in semi-arid Mediterranean countries where irregular, intense rainfall can result in rapid erosion in areas of steep slope, soft lithology and sparse vegetation. This paper presents an integrated remote sensing/GIS approach to identify areas vulnerable to rapid erosion in Almería Province, Southeast Spain. ERS SAR multitemporal interferometric coherence imag...

Shallow earth translational slides and earth flows, affecting colluvial soils derived by the weathering of the clayey bedrock, are a recurrent problem causing damage to buildings and roads in many areas of Apennines. The susceptibility assessment, e.g. slope stability models, requires the preliminary characterization of these superficial covers (lithology, geotechnical and hydraulic parameters)...

nesar anticline is located in west of country and in north of kermanshah province. pattern of drainage network at each district is under the effect of various factors which has intensive anomaly in nesar anticline in spite of its low area and this in turn reflects different lithology, tectonic effects and slope changes in anticline. the goal of this research is the recognition of influential fa...

This was a study of subglacial deformation till genesis from a modern temperate glacier, at Sk alafellsj€ okull, Iceland. Detailed microscale properties of till samples (from Scanning Electron Microscope [SEM] and thin section analysis) were examined from a glacial site with in situ subglacial process monitoring and an exposed subglacial surface in the foreland. Two lithofacies were examined, a...

Among many approaches been made to improve interpretation of post stack seismic section, a great effort has been made aimed at increasing the resolution power of interpreting section and mapping the seismic reflection data to lithology. The purpose of sparse spike impedance inversion is aimed at this goal, to obtain a high-resolution impedance profile from low resolution or band limited seismic...

Drill cuttings are considered representative of the lithology being drilled in a wellbore. However, the fragments that are two to three times larger and/or having odd shapes compared to the regular cuttings are commonly understood as cavings from the wall of the borehole and they are seldom of any help in compilation of a lithology. In fact, cutting description manual recommends ignoring cuttin...
