The compositions and transfer processes affecting coastal sea sediments from the Seto Inland Sea and the Pacific Ocean are examined through the construction of comprehensive terrestrial and marine geochemical maps for western Japan. Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) suggests that the elemental concentrations of marine sediments vary with particle size, and that this has a greater effect than...

By examining Dainton's account of the temporality of consciousness in the context of long-running debates about the specious present and time consciousness in both the Jamesian and the phenomenological traditions, I raise critical objections to his overlap model. Dainton's interpretations of Broad and Husserl are both insightful and problematic. In addition, there are unresolved problems in Dai...

David Chalmers (2010) argues for an acquaintance theory of the justification of direct phenomenal beliefs. A central part of this defense is the claim that direct phenomenal beliefs are cognitively significant. I argue against this. Direct phenomenal beliefs are justified within the specious present, and yet the resources available with the present ‘now’ are so impoverished that it barely const...

Detection of sedimentary cycles is difficult in fine-grained or homogenous sediments but is a prerequisite for the interpretation of depositional environments. Here we use a new autocorrelation analysis to detect cycles in a homogenous sediment core, E602, from the northern shelf of the South China Sea. Autocorrelation coefficients were calculated for different mean grain sizes at various depth...

The capital region of Finland is growing rapidly and into areas with challenging con­struction conditions such as deep fine-grained sediments. In the coastal city Espoo, present land use mainly focused in southern central parts, which were submerged by Baltic Sea during early mid-Holocene. These have experienced saline brackish water phases history Basin. deposition environments presently studi...

Dolomites in Arctic Ocean sediments are widely attributed to erosion and transport of from northern Canada Greenland. Coarse-grained dolomite-rich ice-rafted debris is often linked iceberg transport, but the origin fine-grained dolomite less well constrained. A presumed source Mackenzie River. In this article, we fingerprint minerogenic isotopic (Nd Sr) composition deglacial Holocene (<38 μm) s...
