This paper reassesses the usefulness of the morphological classification of carbonate platforms into rimmed shelves and ramps. Whilst the existing classifications have value in describing platform margin morphology at any one time, the terms rimmed-shelf and ramp are less successful at categorising

When classic petrographic analysis of the modal composition of sandstones yields no distinction between different source regions, 40 Ar/ 39 Ar dating of detrital white mica can provide vital information on the age of a source area and thus link the sediments to a specific provenance in the hinterlan
Aeolian deposits can provide a sensitive record of climatic change. Two abrupt changes in grain size and accumulation rate have been identified at __c__. 2.4β2.6βMa and 1.1β1.2βMa in the loessβpalaeosolβred clay sequences from the Loess Plateau of China. These changes are apparent in two major stepw
Two main sedimentary basins can be recognized in southern Somalia, the NE-SW trending Mesozoic-Tertiary Somali coastal basin, and the NNE-SSW Mesozoic Luuq-Mandera basin. The two basins are separated by the Bur region where the Proterozoic-Early Paleozoic Metamorphic basement of southern Somalia out
## Abstract To identify the groundwater flow system in the North China Plain, the chemical and stable isotopes of the groundwater and surface water were analysed along the Chaobai River and Yongding River basin. According to the field survey, the study area in the North China Plain was classified h
