Each month we feature specific Divisions of EGU and during the monthly GeoRoundup we will be putting the journals that publish science from those Divisions at the top of the Highlights roundup. For November, the Divisions we are featuring are: Stratigraphy, Sedimentology and Palaeontology (SSP) and Geomorphology (GM). They are served by the journals: Geoscientific Model Development (GMD), Earth Su ...[Read More]

A bottomset bed is one where layers of sedimentary material lying along the bottom of a body of water near the point of entry of a stream are subsequently covered by foreset and topset beds in the formation of a delta. Thus in this ima ...[Read More]

The event provided policymakers, scientists and indust ...[Read More]
