New insights into gully formation on Mars: Constraints from composition as seen by MRO/CRISM by J. I. Núñez, O. S. Barnouin, S. L. Murchie, F. P. Seelos, J. A. McGovern, K. D. Seelos, D. L. Buczkowski

“…Seasonal CO2 and H2O frosts were observed in gullies at middle to high latitudes, consistent with seasonal frost‐driven processes playing important roles in the evolution of gullies. Our results do not clearly indicate a role for long‐lived liquid water in gully formation and evolution.…”

Influence of lateral heterogeneities on strike-slip fault behaviour: insights from analogue models by S. González-Muñoz, G. Schreurs, T. C. Schmid, F. Martín-González

“…The main observations are the following: </p><ul><li> <p id="d2e120">The homogeneous upper crust shows typical Mohr–Coulomb strike-slip faults, with synthetic fault strikes related to the angle of internal friction of the material used.</p></li><li> <p id="d2e124">The heterogeneous upper crust has a profound effect on synthetic fault propagation, interaction, and linkage, as well as the kinematic evolution of antithetic faults that rotate around a vertical axis.…”

Naufragios en la costa de Bizkaia (1550-1800) by Ekain Cagigal

“…Aiming this ambition, as a result of this research work a database was built compiling nearly 200 shipwrecks along the Biscayan shoreline for the period 1550-1800, including cartographic material. Based on this evidence an extensive study was performed regarding distribution of wrecks location, diachronic evolution, causes of grounding, affected classes of vessel, and other remarks.…”
