The Marianna lowlands separate the Tallahassee hills, to the east, from the western highlands, which extend to the Alabama border on the west. Both of these regions are about the same size (40 by 100 miles [65 by 160 km]), and both are ancient upland plains that have been dissected by...
Our maps show the land-marine flooding projections as effects of the expected relative sea level rise for four Italian coastal plains using (i) IPCC AR5 estimations, based on the IPCC RCP 8.5 emission scenarios and (ii) the Rahmstorf 2007 model. Isostatic and tectonic data were added to the...
A typical example can be found in France, where the la Seille site was a major production site based on briquetage of such brine (Olivier, 2007, 2023; Olivier et al., 2015). Download: Download high-res image (389KB) Download: Download full-size image Fig. 1. The map shows the ...
Recall from the chapter on Plate Tectonics that the ocean floor is not flat: mid-ocean ridges, deep sea trenches, and other features all rise sharply above or plunge deeply below the abyssal plains. In fact, Earth’s tallest mountain is Mauna Kea volcano, which rises 10,203 m (33,476 ...
Hypotheses of refugia along the Gulf and Atlantic coastal plains are consistent with indicated areas of highest predicted suitability in the niche-based distribution models. The character map of haplotypes by region, illustrates a disproportionate number of haplotypes from these areas on the phylogeny (...
Regional impacts of wetlands on property damage during Hurricane Sandy. Map showing spatial variation in property damages during Hurricane Sandy if all existing wetlands were lost, as a percentage of the original damage. That is, loss differences are relative to the losses for the “Wetlands Present...

(2007) showed that fire was a dominate factor in controlling the position of the pine forest-cloud forest ecotone in the mountains of the Dominican Republic. Brown and Sieg (1999) demonstrated that variability in fires over time resulted in a shift in the ponderosa pine-Great Plains prairie ec...
