Human Geography and Area Research

FIRST glance it might appear that only in physical geography would a A geographer make a contribution to an area research program staffed by social scientists. Geographers, however, do not so delimit their field.' This paper focuses in part...

Archaeology and Assemblage

Assemblage is a concept common to a number of academic disciplines, most notably archaeology and art, but also geology and palaeontology. Archaeology can claim a special link to the term assemblage, though novel approaches to the concept of...

Publisher Correction: Glacial–interglacial Nd isotope variability of North Atlantic Deep Water modulated by North American ice sheet

An amendment to this paper has been published and can be accessed via a link at the top of the paper....

SHORT NOTE - World’s deepest karst hydrologic system documented in Sierra de Juárez, Oaxaca, Mexico

Mexico is rapidly being recognized as possessing some of the most spectacular and deepest caves in the world. Six of the 46 cave systems in the world that have been explored to depths greater than 1,000 m are in Mexico (Minton, 1994). Two o...

The Concept of the Geotourism Potential and Its Practical Application: A Case Study of the Prządki (the Spinners) Nature Reserve in the Carpathians, Poland

This paper reviews the recent use of the term “geotourism potential” in the scientific literature and proposes a new approach to the concept of geotourism potential. The concept assumes that every geotourism object has the well-developed fe...

Integration of remote sensing and geophysics in geological mapping of southern block of Chitradurga Schist Belt areas in upstream Cauvery basin, Western Dharwar Craton, Karnataka

We present mapping and comparision of the geology of the southern block of the Chitradurga schist belt (CSB). We have used ASTER images and geophysical data to compare the geology. Consequently, present study confirms how remote sensing int...

Seismic Monitoring in Severo-Kurilsk Before and After the July 29 (30), 2025 Earthquake Based on Data from an Engineering Seismometric Station

In April 2024, an engineering seismometric station was installed in a residential building in Severo-Kurilsk (Paramushir Island, Sakhalin Oblast) to obtain information about the vibrations of structures and adjacent ground areas during eart...

Correlations Between Subduction of Linear Oceanic Features and Arc Volcanism Volume Around the Pacific Basin

Abstract Arc volcanoes, created by magma generated from the dehydration of subducting slabs, show great variability in their sizes and along‐arc spatial distributions. In this study, we address a fundamental question, namely, how do subduct...

The Beginning of a Wilson Cycle in an Accretionary Orogen: The Mongol–Okhotsk Ocean Opened Assisted by a Devonian Mantle Plume

Abstract The opening of oceans within accretionary orogens is important for understanding the Wilson cycle. The Mongol–Okhotsk Ocean (MOO) began opening within the early Paleozoic accretionary collage of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAO...

Neural computing in geophysics

The 17th century philosopher-mathematician Rene Descartes offered the statement “Cogito, ergo sum” or “I think, therefore I am” as proof of his personal existence. While modern computers using artificial intelligence technologies cannot mat...

Fractals and Chaos in Geology and Geophysics

This book introduces the fundamental concepts of fractal geometry and chaotic dynamics. These concepts are then related to a variety of geological and geophysical problems, illustrating just what chaos theory and fractals really tell us and...

An introduction to electrical resistivity in geophysics

Physicists are finding that the skills they have learned in their training may be applied to areas beyond traditional physics topics. One such field is that of geophysics. This paper presents the electrical resistivity component of an under...

Fractals in Geology and Geophysics

The definition of a fractal distribution is that the number of objects N with a characteristic size greater than r scales with the relation N ~ r −D . The frequency-size distributions for islands, earthquakes, fragments, ore deposits, and o...
