Shoreline vulnerability is an object of concern that grows after each marine submersion or intense erosion event. Thus, during the last four decades, the production of knowledge on coastal sediment dynamics has evolved considerably, and is in tune with the needs of society. This editorial aims at...
These formational structures have been interpreted as synclinal and monoclinal folds and associated ruptures developed by subsidence over caverns that formed by the removal of ice, water, and fluidized sediment12,13. The southern Margaritifer Terra highlands are extensively dissected by vast canyon ...
Why is there a chain of active volcanoes along the coast of N. California, Oregon and Washington? a) continental collision b) divergent zone c) hotspot d) subduction zone A severe storm has churned up the water and sediment alo...
Answer to: It has been said that Woese "lifted a whole submerged continent out of the ocean." What is the "submerged continent" and why is the term...
The Earth’s crust has layers. Some of these layers are from the decomposition of sediment, others come from chemical precipitation, others from decaying organic matter, and others from volcanic lava. The reason we can see the layers is because they were formed in different ways. ...
At larger time scales, combining advanced provenance techniques with sediment budgets allows to reconstruct ancient systems [29]. Let us extend the spectrum of collaboration between earth sciences and life sciences, on the example of marine snow [212,326]. In coastal areas, as in the deep-sea ...
