The materials analyzed in this paper were mainly collected from the Niehnieh Hsiongla Section in southern Tibet in 1995. The Jurassic of this area was divided into the Lower Jurassic Pupuga and Middle Jurassic Niehnieh Hsiongla... more
This work aims to identify sedimentary and basal rocks structures in the Sepetiba Bay Basin (Rio de Janeiro State, SE Brazil) located in the western portion of Guanabara Graben formed during the course of Paleocene tectonic activity. Two... more
May, A. (1997a): Verwitterungsbeständigkeit und Verwitterung von Naturbausteinen aus Kalkstein. - Geologie und Paläontologie in Westfalen, vol. 48: p. 3-185, 94 figs., 2 tabs., pl. 1-11; Münster. Abstract: Weathering durability and... more
Despite the coming into force of the Algerian Littoral Law 02/2002, which aimed the protection of the coast and a sustainable use of its resources, construction projects have been authorized on brittle unstable lithology. Relating to... more
This work analyses lead concentrations and isotope ratios 204Pb,206Pb,207Pb,208Pb, determined by leaching and total dissolution techniques from surface bottom sediment samples collected in the western sector of Sepetiba Bay, Rio de... more
The section between the 7 and 11 electric markers in the Aratu Stage of the Recôncavo Basin (Lower Cretaceous) has been studied in order to perform a stratigraphic analysis. This section bear reservoir rocks known as Imbé, Cambuqui and... more
A new methodology based on a portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) was applied in this work to analyze the geochemical dispersion halo of a sulfide mineralization along the Bule Stream sediments (Ouro Branco, Minas Gerais State, Brazil). The... more
The coastal areas, the most populated regions in the world, are those which have undergone the greatest human influence. In Brazilian southeastern coast, the region around Guanabara Bay (GB) is one of the most densely populated, with... more
This study intends to evaluate baseline concentrations of chemical elements for unpolluted sediments of Sepetiba Bay (SE Brazil). It analyzes the concentrations of potentially toxic elements (PTE) and other chemical elements (by... more
El propósito principal de este trabajo es establecer un modelo geomorfológico que sintetice la dinámica del sistema estuarino de la desembocadura del río Hueque. Para el desarrollo del modelo se realizaron trabajos de campo en los que se... more
This work analyses lead concentrations and isotope ratios 204Pb,206Pb,207Pb,208Pb, determined by leaching and total dissolution techniques from surface bottom sediment samples collected in the western sector of Sepetiba Bay, Rio de... more
This work is based on a compilation of benthic foraminiferal data collected in the Aveiro Lagoon and in the adjacent continental shelf and upper slope (center of Portugal). It intends to provide an overall analysis from transitional to... more
This article aims to advance in the knowledge of the relationships between the sand cycle and the behaviour of small river mouths (outlets) flowing into sandy beaches in the Río de la Plata estuary, Uruguay. The bars of these watercourses... more
Sediments preserve environmental information at the time of deposition which is a useful tool to evaluate the extent of the environmental change from its pristine condition. We evaluated historic environmental trends in the sedimentary... more
The Irati Formation (Lower Permian of Paraná Basin) is a lithostratigraphic unit characterized by the rhythmic alternation between carbonates, shales, and marls, interpreted as low energy deposits with eventual storm deposition. Despite... more
Igneous intrusions in sedimentary basins are commonly related with mineralogical association changes in host-rock. At Sapopema region (Paraná State, southern Brazil), an extensive diabase sill (associated to Serra Geral Formation) was... more
The Lameta sediments covering the geographical area of about 5,000 km2 in central and western India are well documented for their sedimentological and paleobiologic aspects in last four decades. Occurrences of dinosaurian remains... more
Paleoenvironmental reconstructions in coastal environments have been carried out using indicators of relative sea level oscillation (RSL), among them, mollusk shells, beachrocks and sedimentary records. Data from eleven... more
The Irati Formation (Lower Permian of Paraná Basin) is a lithostratigraphic unit characterized by the rhythmic alternation between carbonates, shales, and marls, interpreted as low energy deposits with eventual storm deposition. Despite... more
This study reconstructs Holocene hydrodynamic changes on the outer shelf off Uruguay by examining deposits from a morphological terrace on the uppermost continental slope (250 m water depth). Seismo-acoustics, litho- and... more
