Genus Mentha is represented by 15 taxa in Turkey, most common being Mentha longifolia, M. suaveolens, M. pulegium and M. aquatica. All are perennial herbs, flowering in summer and reproducing with the help of seeds as well as vegetatively. These taxa are widely used by locals as condiment as well as for the preparation of mint tea aginst flue, lung and stomach disorders, whooping cough, and as ...

The location of the suture zone between South China Block (SCB) and Indochina (IB) is disputed. Recently, along Song Chay (Chay river) belt, a mélange was proposed as potential SCB IB. However, provenance age poorly known. In order to better constrain elements forming mélange, nine samples detrital material, one orthogneiss were subjected zircon U-Pb Hf isotope analysis. Detrital zircons from s...

[1] The small footprint ( 70 m) and 172 m alongtrack spacing of the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) on the Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) provides unprecedented horizontal resolution for a satellite altimeter. This enables ICESat to map many previously unresolved features on ice shelves, such as crevasses, rifts, grounding zones and ice fronts. We present examples of ...

bibi maryam granitoid body with about 5 km2 has intruded into ophiolite mélange complex in sistan suture zone, in east of iran. thermal effects of this body on the host rocks show that this activity occurred after emplacement of ophiolite mélange. this intrusive body with general northwest – southeast trend is mainly tonalite-quartz diorite but there is a minor unit as dykes of granodiorite in ...

baft ophiolite mélange is a part of naein-baft ophiolite (southeast of kerman province in iran). serpentinites from baft ophiolite mélange contain different types of spinels such as chromite, chromespinel, ferritchromite and magnetite which can reveal different stages of evolution in host serpentinites. the compositions of baft chromites show that they belong to podiform chromitites that may ha...

Submarine melting of the calving face of tidewater glaciers and the mechanical back force applied by the ice mélange layer are two mechanisms generally proposed to explain seasonal variations at the calving front of tidewater glaciers. However, the way these processes affect the calving rate and glacier dynamics remains uncertain. In this study, we used a finite element-based model that solves ...
