Onstage a large screen offers detailed maps and dates about the Democratic Republic of Congo and its dismal past.
I can feel my eyes glazing over — alas, I am back in school again — but suddenly the reader wakes up, because Monsieur Carrère, at the blackboard with his maps and dates, is shaking things up.
Using scripts, the system automatically establishes palaeogeographical maps for any chosen moment, combining the above mapping and dating information.
We investigate these relationships in the northeast Pamir Mountains using mapping and dating of moraines and terraces to determine the glacial history.
Four large landslides, each with a debris volume >106 m3, in the Himalaya and Transhimalaya of northern India were examined, mapped, and dated using 10Be terrestrial cosmogenic radionuclide surface exposure dating.
For comparison, mapping and dating of deposits in Iceland, combined with analysis of written records, finds 124 explosive eruptions since the country was settled circa 870 A.D. (Thordarson and Larsen 2007), while climatological studies suggest that the wind is likely to transport tephra to the UK around one third of the time (Leadbetter and Hort 2011).
Berndt has physically handed me maps and dates, routes and figures: the puzzle pieces that construct an identity my father could not fully unravel while his father lived, nor throughout the 25 years that have marked his absence.
A dedicated mapping and dating effort is needed to determine the age of the youngest deposits from the majority of the volcanoes in Southeast Asia.
Seekers should arm themselves with as much information as possible, such as the name of the map maker, the name of a map and its date.
The watch will grow a fascinating ecosystem of accessories and new industries dedicated to shrinking commerce, mapping, interaction, and dating down to a watch's smaller real estate will be born.
