Stratigraphy and taphonomy of tubular microfossils in Terreneuvian rocks of the Soltanieh Formation, Soltanieh Mountains, Northern Iran by Etemad-Saeed, N, Anderson, RP, Tosca, NJ, Bergmann, KD, Knoll, AH

“…X-ray diffraction and SEM-EDS reveal that Soltanieh tubes were largely infilled by variable mixes of pyrite framboids (and their oxidation products), silica, and clay minerals. In contrast, the sediment matrix is dominated by K-Al-silicate with lesser amounts of an Al-oxide/(oxy)hydroxide phase. …”

Chemical dispersant enhances microbial exopolymer (EPS) production and formation of marine oil/dispersant snow in surface waters of the subarctic northeast Atlantic by Suja, Laura Duran, Chen, Xindi, Summers, Stephen, Paterson, David M., Gutierrez, Tony

“…A notable feature of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill was the unprecedented formation of marine oil snow (MOS) that was observed in large quantities floating on the sea surface and that subsequently sedimented to the seafloor. Whilst the physical and chemical processes involved in MOS formation remain unclear, some studies have shown that extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) play a role in this process. …”

Pollen geochronology from the Atlantic coast of the united states during the last 500 years by Christie, Margaret A., Bernhardt, Christopher E., Parnell, Andrew C., Shaw, Timothy Adam, Khan, Nicole S., Corbett, Dorbett Reide, García-Artola, Ane, Clear, Jennifer, Walker, Jennifer S., Donnelly, Jeffrey P., Hasse, Tobias R., Horton, Benjamin P.

“…Inconsistencies were likely related to the hyperlocality of pollen chronohorizons, mixing of salt marsh sediment, reworking of pollen from nearby tidal flats, misidentification of pollen signals, and inaccuracies in or misinterpretation of other age markers. …”

Data analysis of local scour around abutment in compound channel by Zhang, Ruixin

“…This model was built using the relative abutment length (L/yf), abutment aspect ratio (Lc/L), flow intensity (uf/uc), abutment shape factor (Ks), flow depth ratio (yf/ym), and relative sediment size (d50/ yf). Overall, comparisons of calculated and observed maximum equilibrium scour depths indicate that the formula is straightforward in composition and shows good credibility in the computation result.…”
