The new material on which this paper is based has lately been received through Mr. D. Ferguson, who recently investigated the geology of the island, and collected the rocks described in an earlier paper. It consists of twenty-seven rock specimens from the south-eastern end of the island, between Cape Disappointment and Cooper Island, and nine specimens from Gold Harbour on the north-east coast between Cooper Island and Royal Bay. All these were collected by the staff of the South Georgia Co., Ltd., under the instructions of Mr. Th. E. Salvesen, managing director, of Leith.

Abstract The article considers the approaches to the G&G data interpretation used in the Branch Office of Gazprom International in Saint Petersburg (hereinafter referred to as "GPEPI") when studying the geology aspects of turbidite deposits. This approach is showcased on one of the Upper Miocene deposits of the Nam Con Son Basin in Vietnam, and a conclusion is drawn about the possibility of using this complex technique in the study of sand bodies of any genesis.

AbstractGravity waves (GWs) play an important role in many atmospheric processes. However, the observation-based understanding of GWs is limited, and representing them in numerical models is difficult. Recent studies show that small islands can be intense sources of GWs, with climatologically significant effects on the atmospheric circulation. South Georgia, in the South Atlantic, is a notable source of such “small island” waves. GWs are usually too small scale to be resolved by current models, so their effects are represented approximately using resolved model fields (parameterization). However, the small-island waves are not well represented by such parameterizations, and the explicit representation of GWs in very-high-resolution models is still in its infancy. Steep islands such as South Georgia are also known to generate low-level wakes, affecting the flow hundreds of kilometers downwind. These wakes are also poorly represented in models.We present results from the South Georgia Wave Experiment (SG-WEX) for 5 July 2015. Analysis of GWs from satellite observations is augmented by radiosonde observations made from South Georgia. Simulations were also made using high-resolution configurations of the Met Office Unified Model (UM). Comparison with observations indicates that the UM performs well for this case, with realistic representation of GW patterns and low-level wakes. Examination of a longer simulation period suggests that the wakes generally are well represented by the model. The realism of these simulations suggests they can be used to develop parameterizations for use at coarser model resolutions.

The problem of modern archeology is the study of monuments that are not expressed on the surface due to centuries of plowing. Using the example of a geophysical study of the Shekshovo 9 monument (Suzdal Opolie region), we consider the use of geophysical methods for mapping the structure of the necropolis. The main idea is to search and interpret archaeological objects in geophysical data as heterogeneities towards background geological and soil structures.
