The Antarctic coal samples are reportedly of Permian age and were collected in 1957 as part of the Antarctic exploration program of the Ohio State University Institute of Polar Studies. The bulk of the samples are from two localities shown in Figure 1 (1) the Terrace Ridge in the Ohio Range of the Horlick Mountains, and (2) Mount Gran in the Granite Harbour area of South Victoria Land. In each instance the coals were sampled from each of the accessible coal seams in the stratigraphic sequence exposed. Thus, these sam-...

Nearly all the coals examined are relatively high in ash. Only two of the samples from the Terrace Ridge area contain less than 20% ash, on a moisture-free basis. Most of the remaining samples from this area range from impure coal to coaly shale. Most of the mineral matter is finely divided (dehydrated) clay, silica, and pyrrhotite. This is an important point since the proximate and ultimate analyses for material that deviates so widely from what is normally considered coal cannot be considered particularly reliable for comparison pur-... 

Hardness. The Antarctic coals have Knoop hardnesses that range from 27 kg./sq. mm. to 188.6 kg./sq. cm. (Table I). Other natural cokes are generally the hardest, and the semianthracites are generally the softest. Hardness increases as the distance from the sill decreases for the coals from the Terrace Ridge area (Figure 11). However, when all the samples are considered, the hardness does not necessarily correlate in a completely regular manner with another single set of test data. 

Fig. 10.22 An adit was dug into the outcrop of the lowest large coal seam in the Mt. Glossopteris Formation (Late Permian) on Terrace Ridge of Mt. Schopf in the Ohio Range. A composite sample of coal from this excavation contained 80.7% carbon...

The Caucasian coasts between Anapa and Gagra are mountainous. The Greater Caucasian Ridge extends subparallel to the coastline. In the nearshore area, its spurs feature terraces and, at places, steeply descend into the sea in the form of escarpments. Southward of Gagra, the Kolkhida lowland separates the Caucasian Ridge from the sea. 

Fissures observed to occur on terraces parallel Wilson (1967) to streambeds. Sand, silt, and gravel forced to the surface-formed ridges extending many feet. Sand was believed to have come from lenses about 12 ft deep... 

One can obtain a stable catalyst for the WGS by adding CeO nanoparticles to Au(lll)." On an inverse oxide/metal catalyst, the reactants can interact with defect sites of the oxide nanoparticles, metal sites, and the metal/oxide interface. Figure 6.10 shows a STM image obtained after depositing ceria nanoparticles on Au (111). There is a random distribution of the ceria nanoparticles on the terraces of the gold substrate which maintains its characteristic herringbone reconstruction. The particles occupy specific sites with respect to the dislocation ridges of the reconstruction. The initial oxidation state of the Ge cations in the ceria nanoparticles was +4 and many of them were reduced to Ce upon exposure to the reactants of the WGS. ...
