Extinction Events In Earth History

This book describes four different methods of paleotemperature assessment on selected Paleozoic rock units and determines spatial variations in maximum burial depths of these units and thicknesses of lost overburden. Post-Devonian Sediment Cover over New York State.

In the first part, the evolution of this sequence is traced from the demise of the platform to the return of the detritus dominated deposition..The second part includes a discussion of the reconstructed paleoceanographic and tectonic variables, their possible interaction as well as their influence on sediment properties. Paleoceanographic conditions which led to the formation of the "mid"-cretaceous triad along the northern Tethys margin are elucidated.

The laboratory work to the dynamics of turbidity currents, outlined in this volume, is the first experimental investigation of the nature of downslape gravity-driven currents of suspended sediments which are reflected/ deflected against obstacles such as seamounts oceanfloor slopes. Turbidity Currents: Dynamics, Deposits and Reversals.

Mapping vector data at smaller than the original scale requires its generalization, which is usually handled by post-processing in ways that are only weakly supported by databases. When spatial data is digitized for use in geographic information systems and other software, information about its original scale, resolution and accuracy is frequently lost. A Hierarchical Coordinate System for Geoprocessing and Cartography. As a result, using such information at different scales and combining it with data from other sources may be difficult.
