Lowermost mantle anisotropy near the eastern edge of the Pacific LLSVP: constraints from SKS–SKKS splitting intensity measurements
(Oxford University Press, 2017-05-05)
Seismic anisotropy has been documented in many portions of the lowermost mantle, with particularly strong anisotropy thought to be present along the edges of large low shear velocity provinces (LLSVPs). The region surrounding ...
Sequence of facies at a Holocene storm-dominated regressive barrier at Praia de Leste, southern Brazil
(2012-01-01)
Along the coast at Praia de Leste, southern Brazil (25° 41' S latitude), a positive sedimentary budget and a lowering of the sea level following the postglacial maximum has given rise to a progradational strandplain barrier ...
Microbially-induced sedimentary structures (MISS) as record of storm action in supratidal modern estuarine setting
(Elsevier Science, 2013-01)
One of the aims of tidal sedimentology in recent years is to find signatures in the stratigraphic record that help in recognizing basic ancient tidal processes. The present study was carried out on the supratidal zone of ...
High-energy neutrino follow-up search of gravitational wave event GW150914 with ANTARES and IceCube
(Amer Physical Soc, 2016-06-23)
We present the high-energy-neutrino follow-up observations of the first gravitational wave transient GW150914 observed by the Advanced LIGO detectors on September 14, 2015. We search for coincident neutrino candidates ...
Tidal disruption events: Past, present, and future
(Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2019)
The tidal disruption of a star by a nuclear supermassive black hole was predicted in the 1970s and first confirmed by soft X-ray flares seen from quiescent galaxies in the ROSAT all-sky survey. We report here on the discovery ...
Extreme wave deposits on the Pacific coast of Mexico: Tsunamis or storms? - A multi-proxy approach
(ELSEVIER, 2012)
Historical and instrumental data show that the Pacific coast of Mexico has been exposed to destructive tsunamis over at least the past 500 years. This coast is also affected by hurricanes generated in the eastern Pacific. ...
Gyrophyllites cristinae isp. nov. from lower ordovician shallow-marine deposits of northwest Argentina
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-10)
The lower Paleozoic marine siliciclastic succession of the Central Andean Basin, northwestern Argentina, provides a valuable record of the onset of the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event in western Gondwana. A new ...
