    Keywords: Tsunami ; Pacific Ocean
    Description / Table of Contents: The 2011 Tohoku earthquake generated a catastrophic tsunami that killed nearly 20,000 people along the coast of Japan and caused the nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. The tsunami propagated throughout the Pacific Ocean and also affected many other countries, including Russia, the USA, New Zealand, French Polynesia and Chile, demonstrating once again the terrible threat that tsunami waves pose for Pacific countries and the need for basin-wide international scientific collaboration. Following a brief introduction, this volume presents 21 scientific papers, including 12 on aspects of the 2011 Tohoku event. A first group of papers provides detailed field survey results from the coasts of Japan and Russia and examines the wave dynamics on the basis of these surveys, the source mechanism of the earthquake, and the far-field impacts of the Tohoku tsunami. The second group reports on the 2012 tsunamis in El Salvador, the Philippines, off the east coast of Honshu and the landmark Haida Gwaii event off the west coast of British Columbia, Canada, while the papers in a third set discuss a number of remaining challenging questions in tsunami science and warning. The volume will be of interest to scientists and practitioners involved in all aspects of tsunamis from earthquake source processes to transoceanic wave propagation and coastal impacts. Postgraduate students in geophysics, oceanography and coastal engineering – as well as those in the broader geosciences, civil and environmental engineering – will also find the book a valuable resource, as it combines recent case studies with the latest advances in tsunami science and natural hazards mitigation.

    Keywords: Tsunami ; Indian Ocean
    Description / Table of Contents: This is the first volume of a collection of essays focusing on progress in tsunami science since the great tsunami of 26 December. A magnitude Mw 9.1 earthquake (third strongest ever instrumentally recorded) generated a global tsunami that killed about 230,000 people along the coasts of 14 countries in the Indian Ocean and propagated as far as the North Pacific and North Atlantic. Since then, various countries from around the globe contributed major funding to tsunami research and mitigation, enabling the installation of hundreds of new high-precision instruments, the development of new technology and the establishment of more modern communication systems. As a result, incredible progress has been achieved in tsunami research and operation during the ten years after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. The papers presented in this first of two special volumes of Pure and Applied Geophysics reflect the state of tsunami science during this time. Eight papers are related to case studies highlighting regional hazards around the globe, while five papers record progress in tsunami warning systems. Benchmark studies that describe the accuracy of numerical models for tsunami impact, as well as a variety of inundation and generation studies, are presented by 7 additional papers.

    Keywords: Tsunami ; Indian Ocean
    Description / Table of Contents: Ten years ago, on December 26, 2004, one of the world’s most destructive natural disasters occurred. A magnitude Mw 9.1 earthquake (third strongest ever instrumentally recorded) generated a global tsunami that killed about 230,000 people along the coasts of 14 countries in the Indian Ocean and propagated as far as the North Pacific and North Atlantic Oceans. Since then, various countries from around the globe contributed major funding to tsunami research and mitigation, enabling the installation of hundreds of new high-precision instruments, the development of new technology and the establishment of more modern communication systems. As a result, incredible progress has been achieved in tsunami research and operation during the ten years after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. The papers presented in this second of two special volumes of Pure and Applied Geophysics reflect the state of tsunami science during this time, including two papers devoted to global observations. Five papers provide new findings specifically in the Indian Ocean. Eight papers cover Pacific Ocean studies, focusing mainly on the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. Remaining papers in the volume describe studies in the Atlantic and Mediterranean and general tsunami source studies. The volume is of interest to scientists and practitioners involved in all aspects of tsunamis from earthquake source processes to transoceanic wave propagation and coastal impacts. Postgraduate students in geophysics, oceanography and coastal engineering – as well as students in the broader geosciences, civil and environmental engineering – will also find the book to be a valuable resource, as it combines recent case studies with advances in tsunami science and natural hazards mitigation.

    Description: The duration and position of the Rhaetian Stage are di scussed. With the recognition of Rhabdoceras suessi - up to now the index species of the Upper Norian (Sevatian) - in one of the Alpine type sections of the Rhaetian, this Stage becomes more and more restricted and its separation doubtfu!. Four possibilities for defining the Alpine uppermost Triassic are treated. The authors propose either to redefine the Alpi'ne Rhaetian as the uppermost Substage of thc Norian Stage, thereby replacing the Sevatian (proposal 4), or to include the previous Sevatian into an enlarged Rhaetian Stage (proposal 3). This proposal is favoured by the International Subcommission of Triassic Stratigraphy. Ir is supported by the recent discovery of Choristoceras marshi - index species of the restricted Rhaetian - in the lower part of the Koessen Beds of the Lahnewiesgraben, equivalent to the previous Zone of Rhabdoceras suessi. Ir is moreover supported by the discovery of the immediate ancestor of this species in the upper part of the Middle Norian (Alaunian) of Timor. This makes the suessi Zone synonymous with the marshi Zone, the lower part of wh ich may be treated now as the Subzone of Rhabdoceras suessi. Since no particular ammonite species can be used for defining the upper part, this can be defined only by the exclusive occurrence of Choristoceras marshi without Rhabdoceras messi. As reference section of the redefined Rhaetian Stage the Weißloferbach section near Koessen, Tirol (Austria) is proposed, since it is weil exposed and fossiliferous, bearing cephalopods, bivalves, brachiopods, ostracods, conodonts and other groups. The authors propose moreover to redefine and re-name the "Rhaetian" of the Germanic facies Realm, which can by no means bc correlated with the Alpine Realm. The names "Upper Keuper" or "Rhaetkeuper" may be more adequate. There is, however, some palynological evidence for a correlation of the Germanie Preplanorbis Beds with the Alpine "Schichtenfolge unter Anm. planorbis" in SUESS & MOJSISOVICS (1868), where Choristaceras marshi has disappeared. The occurrence of the first psiloceratid (Neophyllites antecedens) in these beds indicates that they represent the base of the Jur~sic System. Provisionally these Preplanorbis Beds remain included into the Zone of Psiloceras planorbis.
    Description: Umfang und Stellung des Rhaet werden erörtert. Nach dem Fund von Rhabdoceras suessi - bislang Zonen-Art des Oberen Nor (Sevat) - in einem der alpinen Typprofile des Rhaet, ist der Umfang der Stufe erheblich geschrumpft und ihre Definition problematisch geworden. Von den Verf. werden vier Möglichkeiten, die höchste Trias zu definieren, zur Diskussion gestellt. Es wird empfohlen, entweder das alpine Rhaet als oberste Unterstufe des Nor neu zu definieren und das Sevat einzubeziehen (Vorschlag 4) oder aber das Rhaet - gleichfalls unter Einbeziehung des Sevat - als selbständige Obertrias-Stufe fortbestehen zu lassen (Vorschlag 3). Dieser Vorschlag wurde von der Internationalen Subkommission für Trias-Stratigraphie eindeutig favorisiert. Er wird durch den lange erwarteten Fund von Choristaceras marshi im tieferen Teil der Koessener Schichten des Lahnewiesgraben unterstützt, der stratigraphisch der bisherigen suessi-Zone entspricht. Nach der Entdeckung von direkten marshi-Vorläufern im oberen Mittelnor (Alaun, columbianus-Zone) von Timor sind diese Neufunde nicht mehr überraschend. Damit würde das neudefinierte Rhaet zwar wiederum nur die Zone des Choristoceras marshi enthalten, definiert durch das Erstauftreten dieser Art; es wäre aber eine Untergliederung in eine Subzone des Rhabdoceras suessi und eine obere Subzone des Choristoceras marshi s. str. (ohne Rh.suessi) möglich. Dieser Vorschlag ist der praktikabelste und schließt sich am engsten an die bisherigen Gepflogenheiten an. In dieser Form würde das Rhaet nun auch eine durchaus kartierfähige Einheit darstellen. Als Referenzprofil für das erweiterte Rhaet wird das Profil am Weißloferbach bei Koessen, Tirol (Osterreich) empfohlen, das nicht nur gute Aufschlußverhältnisse, sondern auch eine diverse Faunenvergesellschaftung enthält (Cephalopoden, Bivalven, Brachiopoden, Ostracoden, Conodonten u. a.). Es wird außerdem empfohlen, das germanische Rhaet neu zu definieren und zu benennen, da eine direkte Korrelation mit dem alpinen Rhaet nicht möglich ist. Die Begriffe "Oberkeuper" oder "Rhaetkeuper" werden zur Diskussion gestellt. Die Palynologie bietet erste Korrelationsmöglichkeiten, insbesondere für die hangenden Praeplanorbis- Schichten der germanischen Fazies, die mit der alpinen "Schichtenfolge unter Amm. planorbis" (SUESS & MOJSISOVICS 1868) parallelisiert werden können. Hier tritt Choristoceras marshi nicht mehr, Psiloceras plallorbis noch nicht auf. Mit dem ersten Einsetzen echter Psiloceraten (Neophyllites antecedcns) dürfen diese Schichten als Basis des Lias angesehen werden. Vorläufig bleiben sie jedoch in die Zone des Psiloceras planorbis des Unteren Hettangs eingeschlossen. Trotz des deutlichen Ausdünnens der Ammonitenführung in der obersten Trias - im Zusammenhang mit dem triadisch/ liassischen Faunenschnitt - soll die primäre "orthochronologische" Gliederung dieses Zeitraums auch weiterhin auf der Grundlage der Ammoniten-Fauna erfolgen. Sie wird allerdings wesentlich durch die bereits verfeinerte Conodonten-Gliederung ergänzt; die biostratigraphischen Möglichkeiten des Nannnoplanktons werden augenblicklich überprüft. Ein wesentliches Hilfsmittel für die Parallelisierung von germanischer und alpiner Fazies stellt sdlon jetzt die Palynologie dar, obwohl hier erst wenige vergleichende Untersuchungen vorliegen. Die Konferenz der lUGS "Subcommission on Trias Stratigraphy", welche vom 3.- 4. Juli 1978 in München stattfand, und an die sich ein 3-tägiger Field Workshop anschloß, sollte einen Beitrag leisten zur Korrelation zwischen der Trias im Tethysbereich und der Germanischen Trias-Fazies. G. RrcHTER-BERNBURG, der derzeitge Chairman der S. T. S., hatte als besonders wichtiges Teilproblem die Stellung und Abgrenzung des Rh a e t benannt. Nach gemeinsamer Absprache wird nun hiermit eine Stellungnahme kompetenter Kollegen zu dieser Frage, gemeinsam mit einem An- hand aus palynologischer Sicht, vorgelegt. In einem "Nachwort" werden vom Chairman einige zusätzliche Bemerkungen sowie eine von der S. T. S. gefaßte Resolution zum Begriff Rhaet angefügt. Während die Mehrzahl der Autoren dieses Beitrags dem Abstimmungsergebnis beipflichtet, ist für einen der Autoren (LK) nach wie vor nur Vorschlag 4 (Tab. 2) annehmbar.

    Description: Background: Instructions to fabricate mineralized structures with distinct nanoscale architectures, such as seashells and coral and vertebrate skeletons, are encoded in the genomes of a wide variety of animals. In mollusks, the mantle is responsible for the extracellular production of the shell, directing the ordered biomineralization of CaCO3 and the deposition of architectural and color patterns. The evolutionary origins of the ability to synthesize calcified structures across various metazoan taxa remain obscure, with only a small number of protein families identified from molluskan shells. The recent sequencing of a wide range of metazoan genomes coupled with the analysis of gene expression in non-model animals has allowed us to investigate the evolution and process of biomineralization in gastropod mollusks.Results: Here we show that over 25% of the genes expressed in the mantle of the vetigastropod Haliotis asinina encode secreted proteins, indicating that hundreds of proteins are likely to be contributing to shell fabrication and patterning. Almost 85% of the secretome encodes novel proteins; remarkably, only 19% of these have identifiable homologues in the full genome of the patellogastropod Lottia scutum. The spatial expression profiles of mantle genes that belong to the secretome is restricted to discrete mantle zones, with each zone responsible for the fabrication of one of the structural layers of the shell. Patterned expression of a subset of genes along the length of the mantle is indicative of roles in shell ornamentation. For example, Has-sometsuke maps precisely to pigmentation patterns in the shell, providing the first case of a gene product to be involved in molluskan shell pigmentation. We also describe the expression of two novel genes involved in nacre (mother of pearl) deposition.

    Description: Fossilreiche Aufschlüsse im Lias des Leinetalgrabens sind eine Seltenheit. Eine Ausnahme hiervon bildet die Tongrube bei Eichenberg an der Grenze von Nordhessen zu Niedersachsen, welche etwa 20 m Ton- und Mergelschiefer des höheren Lias a3 mit einer individuenreichen Ammonoideenfauna (Arnioceras ssp., Euagassiceras resupinatum) erschließt. Die Muschelfauna wird durch eine artenarme Vergesellschaftung von dünnschaligen, vorwiegend epibyssaten Formen repräsentiert, wie sie in schlecht durchlüfteten Sedimentationsräumen des Unterjura typisch ist
