Carbonate Platform Development and Drowning on Wombat Plateau Margin: History of Development of Rifting off Northwestern Australia: ABSTRACT

The major terraces flanking the southern margin of the Fitzroy Trough have had a complex history of development involving at least four major episodes of structuring with varying degrees of intensity from the Mid-Late Ordovician Rodingan Movement through to the Latest Triassic-Early Jurassic Fitzroy Movement. Extensive salt tectonism associated with the massive evaporite deposits of the Silurian Carribuddy Formation has also had a profound effect on structuring in these areas.Despite sparse well control, seismic recognition of the resultant structural styles has provided the basis for more comprehensive modelling of the main controls on sedimentation than has previously been possible.In particular, a complex sub-surface distribution of stacked Devonian carbonate platform and reef complexes can now be recognised, having similar morphologies to the spectacular outcrop on the northern side of the Fitzroy Trough. In addition to broad platform areas, individual peninsula developments, isolated atolls and extensive inter-reef seaways were present at both Pillara and Nullara cycle levels, largely controlled by faulting initiated in the Mid-Devonian and influenced in some cases by salt diapirism.Identification of the carbonate and associated palaeogeographic trends will provide direction for future exploration efforts in this wildcat area.

The Cold War

In the Cold War, “development” was a catchphrase that came to signify progress, modernity, and economic growth. Development aid was closely aligned with the security concerns of the great powers, for whom infrastructure and development projects were ideological tools for conquering hearts and minds around the globe, from Europe and Africa to Asia and Latin America. This book provides a global history of development, drawing on a wealth of archival evidence to offer a panoramic and multifaceted portrait of a Cold War phenomenon that transformed the modern world. Taking readers from the aftermath of the Second World War to the tearing down of the Berlin Wall, the book shows how development projects altered local realities, transnational interactions, and even ideas about development itself. The book shines new light on the international organizations behind these projects—examining their strategies and priorities and assessing the actual results on the ground—and it also gives voice to the recipients of development aid. It shows how the Cold War shaped the global ambitions of development on both sides of the Iron Curtain, and how international organizations promoted an unrealistically harmonious vision of development that did not reflect local and international differences. The book presents a global perspective on Cold War development, demonstrating how its impacts are still being felt today.

Subject. The article addresses the history of development and provides the criticism of existing criteria for aggregate social welfare (on the simple exchange economy (the Edgeworth box) case). Objectives. The purpose is to develop a unique classification of criteria to assess the aggregate social welfare. Methods. The study draws on methods of logical and mathematical analysis. Results. The paper considers strong, strict and weak versions of the Pareto, Kaldor, Hicks, Scitovsky, and Samuelson criteria, introduces the notion of equivalence and constructs orderings by Pareto, Kaldor, Hicks, Scitovsky, and Samuelson. The Pareto and Samuelson's criteria are transitive, however, not complete. The Kaldor, Hicks, Scitovsky citeria are not transitive in the general case. Conclusions. The lack of an ideal social welfare criterion is the consequence of the Arrow’s Impossibility Theorem, and of the group of impossibility theorems in economics. It is necessary to develop new approaches to the assessment of aggregate welfare.
