TL;DR: The main factors that control the amount of quartz cement in sandstones are: framework composition, residence time in the silica mobility window, and fluid composition, flow volume and pathways.

TL;DR: The chemical environment and conditions of early diagenetic chert formation in shallow water carbonates are delineated by the general mixing model of Knauth (1979), but remain unknown for most other types.

TL;DR: In this paper, a 3D k-e model appropriate to the study of the general circulation in a shallow stratified sea is presented and illustrated with the results of a simulation of the Northern Bering Sea, made in the scope of the NSF ISHTAR (Inner Shelf Transfer and Recycling) Program.

TL;DR: The flysch sequences of the Swiss Prealps (Alpine front ranges) are described and interpreted in the light of a decade of study by a group research project at Fribourg.

TL;DR: A review of the current status of the numerical modeling of mesoscale atmospheric phenomena can be found in this article, with special emphasis given to those aspects of the modeling problem that are unique to the mesoscales, such as the lateral boundary conditions and specialized parameterizations of physical processes.

TL;DR: In this article, the configurations of all the major lithospheric plates at 0, 20, 65, 95, 140, 180, 180 Ma BP are reconstructed on six globes of the Earth, each with a radius of 10 cm.

TL;DR: Geophysical fluid dynamics deals with the motions and physics of the atmosphere, oceans and interior of the earth and other planets: the winds, the swirls, the currents that occur on myriads of scales from millimeter to climatological as mentioned in this paper.
