A series of smal! volcanic centres cut Ordovician turbidites of Formation A in the southem part of Johannes V. Jensen Land between Midtkap and Frigg Fjord (Map 2). Their general location and main rock types were described by Soper et al. (1980) and their nomenclature is adopted here for fig. 22 with the addition of the small pipe B2. A further small intrusion, south-west of Frigg Fjord, was described by Pedersen (1980). The centres lie 5-10 km south of, and parallel to, the important Harder Fjord fault zone (fig. 22) which traverses the southern part of the North Greenland fold belt and shows substantial downthrow to the south (Higgins et al., this report).

<p>The characterization of the basement architecture of the Pyrenean Axial Zone, backbone of the chain, is crucial to understand its geodynamic evolution and the interplay between tectonism and magmatism. In this work, a new gravity-constrained cross section was built along the Central Pyrenees, between two of the largest Pyrenean Late Variscan granitic complexes, La Maladeta and Andorra-Mont Louis granites, to infer the geometry at depth of the basement host rocks. This cross section is ca. 65 km long and extends from the Mesozoic Bóixols basin in the South to the Late Variscan Bassiès granite to the North, close to the northern end of the Axial Zone. It is based on available geological maps, previous published works and new geological field data; together with newly acquired gravimetric stations (1141), to improve the existent spatial resolution of the gravity data from the databases of the Spanish and Catalan Geological Surveys, and density values from 65 rock samples covering all different lithologies in the cross section. Thus, its geometry at depth is constrained by means of an integrated 2.5D gravity/structural/petrophysical modelling.</p><p>The La Maladeta and Andorra-Mont Louis granites appear aligned in a WNW-ESE direction and both lie within the same Alpine basement unit, the Orri thrust sheet. They are separated about 40 km by the WNW-ESE-oriented Llavorsí syncline, formed by Devonian and Silurian rocks and limited to the north and south by south vergent thrusts. This syncline is located between two large Cambro-Ordovician anticlinorium structures, the La Pallaresa and Orri massifs to the north and south respectively, formed by a monotonous alternation of shales and sandstones with some intercalations of limestones and conglomerates affected by very low to medium grade of metamorphism. Most structures show southern vergence along the cross section, and its southern part is characterized by the occurrence of Triassic evaporites, a significant detachment level decoupling deformation between the Paleozoic basement and the Mesozoic-Cenozoic cover rocks.</p><p>The observed residual anomaly along the cross section shows a relative maximum, coinciding with the southern edge of the Axial Zone (Nogueras Zone) and southern half of the Orri massif, followed to the north by a relative large minimum. This gravity minimum in the core of the Axial Zone coincides with the northern half of the Orri massif, the Llavorsí syncline and southern half of the La Pallaresa massif and must be related at depth with rocks of lower density with respect to rocks located to the North and South. Two possible solutions have been postulated to explain the presence of lower density rocks: (i) the presence of Triassic evaporites at depth as a continuation to the North of the Triassic evaporites outcropping in the Rialp window located to the South and/or (ii) the presence of buried granitic bodies equivalent to the adjacent La Maladeta and Andorra-Mont Louis granites.</p>

The precise age of the youngest part of the geosynclinal fill of the North Greenland fold belt has been the subject of important discussion, particularly with regard to the problem of dating the Palaeozoic diastrophism (Kerr, 1967; Dawes, 1971). Since Lauge Koch's field work between 1916 and 1923 it has been known that strata bearing Monograptus priodon were involved in the folding (Koch, 1920), indicating the presence of Silurian of Llandovery-Wenlock age. In addition, Poulsen (1934) identified Cyrtograptus cf. C. multiramus and Monograptus bohemicus in collections made by Koch from unfolded shales on the platform, to the south of the fold belt, which demonstrated that the section included Wenlock and early Ludlow strata.

The North Benton Mound is a Hopewell site located in Mahoning County, northeastern Ohio. This mound is on the farm of Mr. John Malmsberry, near the village of North Benton. Mr. Roy Saltsman and the writer participated in the excavation of the site. The photographs and other records were made by the writer.The recent history of the mound is interesting. The grave of Judge William Smith, original owner of the mound, was placed some seven or eight feet north of the crest. It is shown in the cross section (Fig. 4). When Smith died in 1837 with the strange request that he be buried in the mound, the top was apparently cut off to make a burial platform; the removed dirt which was thrown down upon the south shoulder is represented on the projected cross section by broken hatching. The mound, situated on a high knoll, later became an even more conspicuous landmark when conifers were planted on it and grew to great size.

NOTE: This article was published in a former series of GEUS Bulletin. Please use the original series name when citing this article, for example: Henriksen, N. (1998). North-East Greenland 1997–1998: a new 1:500 000 mapping project in the Caledonian fold belt (72°–75°N). Geology of Greenland Survey Bulletin, 180, 119-127. https://doi.org/10.34194/ggub.v180.5095 _______________ The Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) continued in 1997 the systematic geological mapping programme for the 1:500 000 regional map series, with initiation of field work on sheet no. 11, which covers part of North-East Greenland. Of the 14 planned map sheets at 1:500 000 which will cover all of Greenland, 11 have been published, and one additional sheet for which field work has been completed is under compilation. Only two areas of Greenland are not yet covered by map sheets of this series: part of North-West Greenland (sheet no 6) and the target for the present project in North-East Greenland (sheet no. 11). The field work for the latter sheet is planned for two seasons, with the first season completed in 1997 and the second and final season to follow in 1998. The map sheet (no. 11) covers the region between Kong Oscar Fjord and the Stauning Alper in the south (72°N) and Kuhn Ø and Grandjean Fjord in the north (75°N, Fig. 1). The western part of this region is dominated by crystalline complexes of the East Greenland Caledonian fold belt. A post-Caledonian sequence of Upper Palaeozoic and Mesozoic sediments and Tertiary plateau basalts and intrusions covers the eastern part of the region. This article focuses on the Caledonian geology, whereas results from the work in the post-Caledonian sediments are described in the article by Stemmerik et al. (1998, this volume). The new Survey work for map sheet 11 represents a reinvestigation of areas extensively studied by geologists of Lauge Koch’s expeditions to East Greenland (1926–58), the principal results of which were compiled by John Haller for the 1:250 000 map sheets covering the region 72°–76°N (Koch & Haller 1971) and incorporated into an impressive regional description of the East Greenland Caledonides (Haller 1971). The Scoresby Sund region to the south of latitude 72°N and the Dove Bugt region to the north of latitude 75°N have already been investigated by the Geological Survey of Greenland (Henriksen 1986, 1997; Higgins 1994) as part of the present ongoing 1:500 000 regional mapping programme. The 1997–1998 mapping project will fill the last remaining gap in the Survey’s 1:500 000 coverage of North-East Greenland. All of North-East Greenland is covered by a set of wide angle black and white vertical aerial photographs taken in the period 1978–87 from an altitude of c. 14 km. On the basis of these aerial photographs and ground control points established by Kort- og Matrikelstyrelsen (National Survey and Cadastre – formerly the Geodetic Institute), new topographical maps of the entire region 72°–75°N, at a scale of 1:100 000, with 100 m contours, are being drawn at the Survey and will serve as a basis for the field investigations and the subsequent geological map compilations. Drawing of the topographic maps in the Survey´s photogrammetric laboratory is combined with photogeological interpretation both prior to and following the field investigations. In addition to establishing a general overview of the regional geology, the project includes activities aimed at supplementing knowledge of the economic potential of the region, in respect to both minerals (Harpøth et al. 1986) and hydrocarbons (Christiansen et al. 1992; Stemmerik et al. 1997). The field work co-ordinated by the Survey included co-operation with a geophysicist from the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research (AWI), Bremerhaven, who undertook rock magnetic investigations to facilitate interpretation of an AWI aeromagnetic survey, and four Norwegian sedimentologists from Saga Petroleum whose work was integrated with a Survey group working with Mesozoic sediments (Stemmerik et al. 1998, this volume). Logistic support was also given to three groups of geologists from the University of Oslo and three geologists from Massachussetts Institute of Technology, with whom agreements on scientific co-operation had been arranged in advance. Some aspects of the project are based on funding from the Danish National Science Foundation and Carlsberg Foundation, with support for special research topics concerning the pre-Caledonian basement terrain, Caledonian metamorphism, and studies of Upper Proterozoic carbonate sediments. The field investigations in 1997 were carried out during a seven week field season between early July and late August with participation of a total of 38 persons, including 32 geologists (Henriksen 1998). The work was supported by two helicopters and a small, fixed wing, Twin Otter aircraft, which operated from Mestersvig, a former airport which is kept open for limited special operations by the military sledge patrol Sirius. The GEUS group benefitted substantially from base facilities at Mestersvig, organised and manned by the Danish Polar Center (DPC). Transport between Mestersvig and Denmark was carried out by the Royal Danish Air Force (RDAF) using a C-130 Hercules aircraft.

Cyclic Variations

AbstractLong-term cyclic variations in the distribution of prominences and intensities of green (530.3 nm) and red (637.4 nm) coronal emission lines over solar cycles 18–23 are presented. Polar prominence branches will reach the poles at different epochs in cycle 23: the north branch at the beginning in 2002 and the south branch a year later (2003), respectively. The local maxima of intensities in the green line show both poleward- and equatorward-migrating branches. The poleward branches will reach the poles around cycle maxima like prominences, while the equatorward branches show a duration of 18 years and will end in cycle minima (2007). The red corona shows mostly equatorward branches. The possibility that these branches begin to develop at high latitudes in the preceding cycles cannot be excluded.

The Russian-American relations have undergone many stages of conflict and competition over cooperation that have left their mark on the international balance of power in the Middle East. The Iraqi and Syrian crises are a detailed development in the Middle East region. The Middle East region has allowed some regional and international conflicts to intensify, with the expansion of the geopolitical circle, which, if applied strategically to the Middle East region, covers the area between Afghanistan and East Asia, From the north to the Maghreb to the west and to the Sudan and the Greater Sahara to the south, its strategic importance will seem clear. It is the main lifeline of the Western world.
