Open AccessPaleotemperature record of the Middle Devonian Kačák Episode
The Middle Devonian Epoch, ~ 393–383 million years ago, is known for a peak in diversity and highest latitudinal distribution of coral and stromatoporoid reefs. About 388 million years ago, during the late Eif...

The Devonian–Carboniferous boundary in the Carnic Alps (Austria and Italy)
In the Carnic Alps there are four sections exposing rocks across the Devonian–Carboniferous boundary: the Grüne Schneid and the Kronhofgraben sections in Austria, the Plan di Zermula A and the Sentiero per Cre...

Geologic Tools
Reasoning in geology is based on the continuous activity of comparing, connecting, observations. This allows the formulation of genetic hypotheses, which consequences will be evaluated through their consistenc...

Development of an ultra-miniaturised XRD/XRF instrument for the in situ mineralogical and chemical analysis of planetary soils and rocks: implication for archaeometry
An ultra-miniaturised (mass 1.5 kg; volume ~22 × 6 × 12 cm3) instrument which combines X-ray diffraction and fluorescence has been developed for the mineralogical and chemical characterization of Martian soils/ro...

Depositional evolution of a lower Paleozoic portion of the Southalpine domain: the Mt. Pizzul area (Carnic Alps, Italy)
The Carnic Alps represent the best exposed Paleozoic succession within the Alpine domain being fossiliferous, mostly non-metamorphic and largely complete. This study focuses on the area around Mt. Pizzul, beca...

Insight into the development of a carbonate platform through a multi-disciplinary approach: a case study from the Upper Devonian slope deposits of Mount Freikofel (Carnic Alps, Austria/Italy)
The development and behavior of million year-scaled depositional sequences recorded within Palaeozoic carbonate platform has remained poorly examined. Therefore, the understanding of palaeoenvironmental change...

Application of Sequence-Stratigraphic Concepts to Mars: Eberswalde Crater
Sedimentary deposits within Eberswalde Crater are generally interpreted as having formed in a fluviolacustrine depositional environment. The Eberswalde fan delta consists of five lobes (four deltaic), the rela...

Equatorial Layered Deposits in Arabia Terra, Mars: Stratigraphy and Process Variability
The equatorial layered deposits of Arabia Terra are investigated to understand their genesis and the controls on their evolution. We interpret the deposits found within the craters as having been formed by spr...

Fluvio–Lacustrine Sedimentation and Tectonic Influence, Lunae Planum (Mars)
This area of Lunae Planum (centred around 4°S and 298°E) has been studied by various authors, who have described the presence of exhumed channels (sinuous lineations), Light Layered Deposits (LLD), and detecte...

Polyphase metamorphism in the eastern Carnic Alps (N Italy–S Austria): clay minerals and conodont Colour Alteration Index evidence
Thermal evolution of the Palaeozoic–Triassic sequences of the Carnic Alps has been characterized by b cell dimension and Kübler Index (illite “crystallinity”) of K-white micas (KI), Árkai Index (AI) of chlorites,...
