The present communication deals with a calc-silicate hornfels of uncommon mineralogical and chemical composition. It may be tentatively referred to the deep-seated metamorphism of a marl, and on account of the shortage of analytical data pertaining to metamorphosed sediments of the calcareo-argillaceous type, a detailed investigation of a variety of this group seems justified.Intercalated bands of anorthite-epidote-garnet-hornfels bordered bilaterally by pyroxene-bearing gneisses occur on the farms Zandfontein, Pella, and Klein Pella in the north-eastern part of the division of Namaqualand, South Africa (cf. geological map), On Klein Pella small exposures also extend intermittingly for approximately 1·5 miles due WNW.-ESE. of the amphibolite koppie situated on the northern boundary of the farm area. The bands exhibit a gentle pinch and swell structure with maximum widths of 15 to 41 inches, and the contact with the host rock is commonly marked by an epidotic fringe ¾ inch in thickness. In some cases the anorthite-epidote-garnet-rock is penetrated by parallel lenticles of pure quartz which may attain maximum breadths of 0·8 inch.

AbstractIt is very difficult to start from scratch a new Astrophysics program in a country with very little or no researchers in the field. In 2007, we began to set-up an Astrophysics program by TWINNING the Université de Ouagadougou with the Université de Montréal in Canada, the Université de Provence in France and the University of Cape Town in South Africa. Already, courses are given at the undergraduate and Master levels and a teaching Observatory has been built. A 1m research telescope was also moved from the La Silla Observatory in Chile to Burkina Faso and the infrastructure is being built at the moment on mount Djaogari in the north-eastern part of the country. In the meantime, 6 students are doing their PhD in Astrophysics overseas (Canada, France and South Africa) and will become the core of the research group at the Université de Ouagadougou. An engineer is also doing his PhD in Astronomical Instrumentation to help with the maintenance of the equipment on the Research Telescope.

A new method for determining the location of artificial hydrogeological windows in the roof and base of the aquifer has been proposed. As an example, the Buchak-Kaniv aquifer is given. This aquifer is widespread in the north-eastern part of Ukraine and is the main source of water supply for the region. In our opinion, pollution of the Buchak-Kaniv aquifer can occur primarily through artificial hydrogeological windows in its roof and bottom. In order to determine the location of artificial hydrogeological windows, factor analysis of the chemical composition of groundwater aquifer is used. The analysis was first carried out in places where it is precisely known about anthropogenic contamination of the aquifer with oil products and associated waters through artificial hydrogeological windows (for example, oil or other wells). As a result, a number of influential factors weighing more than 10% were identified. Further, in other areas factor analysis is also carried out using the same set of components of the chemical composition of groundwater. The coincidence of influencing factors indicates the theoretical possibility of an artificial hydrogeological window in a given area. In addition, various options for the distribution of pollutants over the horizon area are considered. The identification of these windows is important for identifying sources of aquifer pollution. Especially attractive will be the use of this method in areas where old (working and closed) oil, gas and oil-gas condensate fields are located.

On June 7, 2018, a sub-mesoscale anticyclonic eddy induced by the wind (north-east) was registered on the shelf in the area of the city of Gelendzhik. With the help of field multidisciplinary expedition ship surveys, it was shown that this eddy exists in the layer above the seasonal thermocline. At the periphery of the eddy weak variability of hydrochemical parameters and quantitative indicators of phytoplankton were recorded. The result of the formation of such eddy structure was a shift in the structure of phytoplankton – the annual observed coccolithophores bloom was not registered.

Geology of Greenland Survey Bulletin, 186, 50-59. https://doi.org/10.34194/ggub.v186.5215 _______________ The southern tip of Greenland is underlain by the Palaeoproterozoic Ketilidian orogen (e.g. Chadwick & Garde 1996; Garde et al. 1998a). Field investigations in the summer of 1999 were focused on the structure of migmatites (metatexites) and garnetiferous granites (diatexites) of the Pelite Zone in the coastal region of South-East Greenland between Lindenow Fjord and Kap Farvel (Figs 1, 2). Here, we first address the tectonic evolution in the Pelite Zone in that region and its correlation with that in the Psammite Zone further north. Then, the structure and intrusive relationships of the rapakivi suite in the Pelite Zone are discussed, including particular reference to the interpretation of the controversial outcrop on Qernertoq (Figs 2, 8). Studies of the structure of the north-eastern part of the Julianehåb batholith around Qulleq were continued briefly from 1998 but are not addressed here (Fig. 1; Garde et al. 1999). The field study was keyed to an interpretation of the Ketilidian orogen as a whole, including controls of rates of thermal and tectonic processes in convergent settings. Earlier Survey field work (project SUPRASYD, 1992–1996) had as its principal target an evaluation of the economic potential of the orogen (Nielsen et al. 1993). Ensuing plate-tectonic studies were mainly funded in 1997–1998 by Danish research foundations and in 1999 by the Natural Environment Research Council, UK. The five-week programme in 1999 was seriously disrupted by bad weather, common in this part of Greenland, and our objectives were only just achieved. Telestation Prins Christian Sund was the base for our operations (Fig. 2), which were flown with a small helicopter (Hughes MD-500).

Geology of Greenland Survey Bulletin, 183, 23-33. https://doi.org/10.34194/ggub.v183.5201 _______________ During a five week period in August–September 1998 the poorly known north-eastern part of the Palaeoproterozoic (c. 1800 Ma) Ketilidian orogen between Kangerluluk and Mogens Heinesen Fjord in South-East Greenland (Fig. 1) was investigated in continuation of recent geological research in other parts of the orogen. The north-eastern part of the orogen is remote from inhabited areas. It is mountainous and comprises a wide nunatak zone which can only be reached easily by helicopter. Furthermore, access to coastal areas by boat is difficult because many parts of the coast are prone to be ice-bound even during the summer months, due to wind- and current-driven movements of the sea ice.

Gives information about the occurrence of C. autumnale in Krzeszowice in the 19th century (reported by Bronisław Gustawicz), presents new localities noted in 2012–2014 in meadows in the north-eastern part of the Puszcza Niepołomicka forest and adjacent area (between the Vistula and Raba rivers), and gives a locality found in Cracow in 2005 (no longer extant).
