The East African Rift System (EARS) is one of the geologic wonders of the world, a place where the earth's tectonic forces are presently trying to create new plates by splitting apart old ones. In simple terms, a rift can be thought of as a fracture in the earth's surface that widens...
In Section 4, we examine the local precipitation response, by splitting the frequency and the intensity signals. Section 5 is dedicated to the impact studies carried out in Africa during the IMPACT2C project with these climate models as an input. In Section 6, we discuss the +2 °C ...
release of hydrostatic pressure during retrieval, the composite core depth (68.39 mcd) exceeds the equivalent drilled depth (mblf) by about 8.2% (Fig.2). Core splitting and description was done at the US National Lacustrine Core Facility of the University of Minnesota (Minneapolis, USA). ...
An interesting result emerged from the analysis of splitting the sample by income level (Fig.15). Farmers with higher disposable income have more definitions which include the word “comunidade” (community in English), whereas farmers with a relitively lower income have more definitions which inc...
Movements of Chinese migrants are not uni-directional in time or space, with migrants moving between countries and also splitting their time between countries in a highly flexible way. Additional factors include porous borders within Africa, corruption, and ineffectiveness within agencies responsible for...
a geological wonder where the Earth’s tectonic forces are creating new plates by splitting old ones, bifurcates the region into two halves. With large lakes big enough to fit in several European nations, extinct volcanoes with snow-capped peaks visible for miles, expansive national parks inhabit...
(R Core Team2020). Pollen zonation was performed on main sum pollen taxa exceeding a threshold of 3% in at least one sample by the technique of optimal splitting by information content (Bennett1996), selecting a significant number of zones as compared with a “broken-stick” model of random...
Bulk sample preparation consists of drying where necessary, crushing to 10 mm, splitting and milling in a tungsten carbide milling pot to less than 75 µm. Major element analyses were analysed on fused beads, while trace elements were executed on pressed powder pellets. Major elements were ...
