Late Pleistocene palaeo environment reconstruction from 3D seismic data, NW Australia. The ACROSS project -Australasian Research: Origins of seafaring to Sahul
No full textThe earliest human migration from Sunda (South-East Asian archipelago) to Sahul (Australia and New Guinea) is still heavily debated with proposed timings between c.65-45kaBP depending on the evidence base and interpretation of the data. As part of the EU funded ACROSS project, focused on the mode and route of early migration in to SAHUL, we are undertaking an integrated interpretative study of the evolving submerged landscapes for the Late Pleistocene of the NW Australian Shelf. Oil and gas industry 3D and 2D seismic data, with some core/borehole data, are being used to determine lowstand palaeo-environments and shoreline positions. This information is informing modelling of ocean tide and current patterns that may have been influenced. The seismic is being interpreted supplemented by using time-slices on relative impedance inverted post-stack data. Layer stripping, seismic geomorphology, sequence boundary and depth analysis are being applied to datasets in the Bonaparte Basin, Kimberley Shelf and Arafura regions of Australia’s North-West Shelf area. Interpretation of the seismic data is constrained by dated stratigraphy in shallow cores with lower bounds determined from oil/gas well bores. MIS stages 1-4 are identified, however, the seismic response is a composite of time periods due to varying sedimentation rates, non-depositional hiatuses and minimal vertical seismic travel time covering this interval which limits the analysis to the top 50ms TWT (c. 40-45 m) of events below the seabed. This paper reviews the workflows that have been developed to maximise the fine scale detail that can be recovered for a range of terrestrial and marine environments. Procedures include inverse-Q, impedance inversion, spectral decomposition and time-slicing relative to seabed. High resolution 2D seismic data is also being used to augment and inform the interpretation of the conventional oil/gas 3D seismic data. Data examples will be presented showing the geomorphological characteristics (river channels, avulsions, levees, drainage channels, dunes and near shore carbonate reefs) of the lowstand and transgressive landscapes during this period. The palaeo-reconstructions are now being developed from the interpreted seismic geomorphology for the specific consideration of human seaborne travel
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
