Abstract Gas-pipeline construction around Brandov (Czech Republic) exposed pre Quaternary strata allowing more precise understanding of the regional geology. The crystalline rocks in the basement, near the Brandov Carboniferous Relict, belong to Sayda Dome rather than to the Hora Svaté Kateřiny (Katharinaberg) Dome. The lower Carboniferous unit (Westphalian – Moscovian) is of greater extent than previously estimated. In contrast, the upper unit, which is correlated with Stephanian (Kasimovian or Gzhelian) strata, is arealy less extensive than previously estimated and is devoid of fossil remains. An anthracite seam, in the lower unit, was discovered in the “North depth” some 1–1.3 km to the North from old mining activity of the “South depth”. The seam was accompanied by a flora dominated by cordaitaleans and sphenopsids (calamitaleans), and common lycopsids and ferns. Palynomorphs were isolated from mudstones for the first time and 36 genera and 51 species of miospores could be determined. A humic clayey layer was discovered in the Quaternary deposits whose palynological age is 500 – 100 years old.

Alpine sports are comprised of multiple disciplines like mountaineering, climbing, ice-climbing, high-altitude mountaineering, trekking, canyoning and ski-mountaineering. However, there is no standardised definition of alpine sports. Alpinism in a broader sense includes as well mountain science, mountain guiding and alpine rescue. Hence this article focuses on sport activities in an alpine environment and on the possible psychiatric impact thereof.

The expedition to central and northern East Greenland in 1975 had 29 participants. Ten of these took part in the programme for uranium prospecting (Steenfelt, and Secher et al., this report) and 5 field teams studied the following subjects: the sedimentology of continental Trias in Scoresby. Land (Clemmensen & Andreasen, this report), the stratigraphy and structure of the lower Eleonore Bay Group sediments in the Alpefjord region (Caby, this report), the geochemistry of heavy metals in the Eleonore Bay Group, the Caledonian crystalline complex in relation to older crystalline rocks (Frederichsen & Higgins, this report), and finally the Quaternary deposits around CIavering Ø.

AbstractThe Hα filtergrams obtained at Tjan-Shan High Altitude Observatory near Alma-Ata (Moscow University Station) were measured in order to specify the bright rims contrast at different points along the line profile (0.0; ± 0.25; ± 0.5; ± 0.75 and ± 1.0 Å). The mean contrast value in the line center is about 25 percent. The bright rims interpretation as the bases of magnetic structures supporting the filaments is suggested.

All serious electron microscopists at one time or another have been concerned with the cleanliness and freedom from artifacts of thin film specimen support substrates. This is particularly important where there are relatively few particles of a sample to be found for study, as in the case of micrometeorite collections. For the deposition of such celestial garbage through the use of balloons, rockets, and aircraft, the thin film substrates must have not only all the attributes necessary for use in the electron microscope, but also be able to withstand rather wide temperature variations at high altitude, vibration and shock inherent in the collection vehicle's operation and occasionally an unscheduled violent landing.Nitrocellulose has been selected as a film forming material that meets these requirements yet lends itself to a relatively simple clean-up procedure to remove particulate contaminants. A 1% nitrocellulose solution is prepared by dissolving “Parlodion” in redistilled amyl acetate from which all moisture has been removed.
