The lithosphere is subject to fluctuations in temperature and pressure during the formation of sedimentary basins. These fluctuations cause metamorphic reactions that change the density of the lithosphere, which, in turn, influences basin subsidence. This contribution develops a model for sedimentar

**ABSTRACT** We propose a thermo‐mechanical model and a new interpretation of heat flux data for the Ligurian basin that may be a key to understanding the evolution of the NW Mediterranean. The model incorporates the removal of a portion of mantle lithosphere to explain the heat‐flux and subsidence

## Abstract The internal sedimentology of the Armoy moraine, which marks a late Devensian (Weichselian) incursion of Scottish ice into the north of Ireland, is described from a temporary exposure near Armoy village. The exposure (up to 30 m long, 10 m high) comprises folded gravel beds, massive cla

The extent of the role of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) species in the mechanism of soot formation has not definitely been determined. In previous work using a fiat-flame, water-cooled, premixed burner burning ethylene-air flames we investigated the formation and destruction of PAH species u
