Landslide Hazard Assessment and Zonation by using Slope Susceptibility Evaluation Parameter (SSEP) Rating Scheme- a Case from Debre Sina, Northern Ethiopia by Tamene Tadele

“…The geology of the area includes quaternary sediments, ignimbrite, rhyolite, different kinds of basalts, and tuff deposits, which are highly weathered and changed into unconsolidated sediments at some localities. …”

Radon on Mars and the Moon derived from Martian and lunar meteorites by Frédéric Girault, Ludovic Ferrière, Carine Sadaka, Íñigo de Loyola Chacartegui Rojo, Rémi Losno, Frédéric Moynier, Frédéric Perrier, Pierre-Yves Meslin

“…EC Ra values are 0.029–0.78 and 0.045–0.80 Bq kg−1 for Martian and lunar meteorites, respectively (0.041 ± 0.003 Bq kg−1 for falls and 0.28 ± 0.02 Bq kg−1 for finds), lower than most terrestrial rocks but similar to other meteorites and terrestrial primitive basalts. The effect of terrestrial alteration on EC Ra and its temperature sensitivity are also determined experimentally. …”

Remote Mapping of Bedrock for Future Cosmogenic Nuclide Exposure Dating Studies in Unvisited Areas of Antarctica by Jonathan R. Adams, Philippa J. Mason, Stephen J. Roberts, Dylan H. Rood, John L. Smellie, Keir A. Nichols, John Woodward, Joanne S. Johnson

“…Using this approach, we identified four dominant rock types which we used as a basis for felsic–mafic differentiation: felsic granites and gneisses, and mafic basalts and fragmental hydrovolcanic rocks. Supervised classification results indicate WV-3 performs well at differentiating felsic and mafic rock types and that ASTER, while coarser, could also achieve satisfactory results and be used in concert with more targeted WV-3 image acquisitions. …”

Assessing the suitability of sites near Pine Island Glacier for subglacial bedrock drilling aimed at detecting Holocene retreat–readvance by J. S. Johnson, J. Woodward, I. Nesbitt, K. Winter, S. Campbell, K. A. Nichols, R. A. Venturelli, S. Braddock, B. M. Goehring, B. Hall, D. H. Rood, G. Balco, G. Balco

“…Our results demonstrate that although no site in the Hudson Mountains is perfect for this study when assessed against all criteria, the accessibility, N–S orientation and basaltic bedrock lithology of Winkie Nunatak's southernmost ridge (74.86° S, 99.77° W) make it a feasible site both for drilling and subsequent cosmogenic nuclide analysis. …”

The use of radar-optical remote sensing data and geographic information system–analytical hierarchy process–multicriteria decision analysis techniques for revealing groundwater rec... by Wang Yuxia, Han Yanzhong, Guo Yujiao, Wang Jingwei, Wang Nana, Abdelkareem Mohamed

“…The study aims to delineate and predict the best areas of groundwater prospection and abstraction by implementing the analytical hierarchy process-geographic information system (GIS) techniques in a rough terrain that occupies ∼70% of fractured hard rocks including ∼34% of the basaltic flow sheet of Wadi Marawani, Saudi Arabia. …”

Vingt années de recherches à Oedenburg (Biesheim et Kunheim, Haut-Rhin) : un bilan by Michel Reddé

“…On the other hand, on the right bank, fertile loess soils abound on the basaltic slopes of Kaiserstuhl.Oedenburg thus appears to have been a practical crossing-point of the river, from where it was easy to reach the region of the Danube sources. …”
