Natural cycles of irradiation during burial and bleaching due to solar exposure during transport increase the Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) sensitivity of quartz sand grains. The relationship between the OSL ...

Understanding the processes and patterns of local adaptation and migration involves an exhaustive knowledge of how landscape features and population distances shape the genetic variation at the geographical level. Ctenomys ...

This study addresses the mid- to late Holocene stratigraphy and sea level history of a macrotidal barrier and paleoestuary system located along the relatively unstudied northwest coast of Australia. Thirty-nine shallow ...

Earthen layers play a significant role in isolating contaminants in subsurface, controlling the migration of contaminant plumes, and as landfill liners and covers. Physical, chemical and mineralogical properties of three ...

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 ...

Our current understanding of the communities and taxonomic assemblages has, in recent years, integrated processes at different spatial scales. Four species of closely-related Iguanian lizards coexist along the length of ...

Definition 10 Chenier is a term devoted exclusively to linear sandy 11 coastal ridges separated from the shoreline by muddy 12 deposits (mudflats or marshes). The base of the cheniers 13 should be a horizontal surface where ...
