The petrological parameters Na-8 and Fe-8, which are Na2O and FeO contents in mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB) melts corrected for fractionation effects to MgO8wt, have been widely used as indicators of the extent and pressure ...

A cultural transfer of geophagy is evident in the UK, with soils imported from Bengal being deliberately consumed mainly by pregnant Asian women. Two samples purchased from ethnic shops were subjected to a 2-part acid–alkaline ...

The Jurassic bivalve genus Placunopsis Morris and Lycett, 1853 is shown to be an anomiid on account of the detailed anatomy of its hither-to unknown right valve and the corresponding musculature in the left valve. Herein ...

In light of their earlier success in characterizing and differentiating soils, sediments and atmospheric particulates, magnetic measurements were carried out on samples of North African surface soils and sands. The main ...

We have examined the high quality data of 306 mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB) glass samples from the East Pacific Rise (EPR), near-EPR seamounts, Pacific Antarctic Ridge (PAR), near-PAR seamounts, Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR), ...

This paper uses evidence from focus groups in England to consider how consumers think about and, more importantly, distinguish foods by both primary and secondary qualities, using both their own judgement but also advice ...

This paper analyses types and rates of change in river meander morphology and the links between mechanisms of change and emergent behaviour of planform morphology. It uses evidence of four dates of aerial photography ...

Vineyard geology—bedrock and overlying soils—is widely supposed to help explain the typicity of wine from a particular area, though there has been little analysis of how this might come about. Such an evaluation is attempted ...
