This glossary should help to extent my vocabulary.

abundantly
adverb
in large quantities; plentifully.
Example: Dedolomite follows initial layering and abundantly forms massive concretions, which are surrounded by compaction-related curvature of the depositional layering in the dolomite host rock. [3] [3] J. Schoenherr et al. “Dedolomitization: review and case study of uncommon mesogenetic formation conditions.” Earth-Science Reviews, vol. 185, pp. 780-805, 2018.
ru: обильно
devoid
adjective
entirely lacking or free from.
Example: For the purpose of this paper, this distinction can be extrapolated to ramp settings, which are devoid of a shelf edge, whereby the shoreline transit area is equivalent to the shelf, and the distal area dominated by sediment-gravity flows defines the deep-water setting. [1] [1] O. Catuneanu. “Sequence stratigraphy of deep-water systems.” Marine and Petroleum Geology, vol. 114, pp. 104–238, 2020.
ru: лишенный
discernible
adjective
able to be discerned; perceptible
Example: Both elements of this ‘dual control’ contribute in discernible ways to the architecture and makeup of the stratigraphic record, and can be separated based on stratigraphic and sedimentological criteria. [1] [1] O. Catuneanu. “Sequence stratigraphy of deep-water systems.” Marine and Petroleum Geology, vol. 114, pp. 104–238, 2020.
ru: различимый
influx
noun
an arrival or entry of large numbers of people or things.
Example: An influx of strontium-rich waters from the anhydrite beds is indicated by up to 5 times higher strontium contents measured in dedolomite fabrics compared to their dolomite host rock. [3] [3] J. Schoenherr et al. “Dedolomitization: review and case study of uncommon mesogenetic formation conditions.” Earth-Science Reviews, vol. 185, pp. 780-805, 2018.
ru: приток
interplay
noun
the way in which two or more things have an effect on each other
Example: The stratigraphic architecture and sedimentological makeup of deep-water systems is complex, due to the interplay of multiple allogenic and autogenic processes, and the co-existence of multiple sediment sources and modes of sediment transport. [1] [1] O. Catuneanu. “Sequence stratigraphy of deep-water systems.” Marine and Petroleum Geology, vol. 114, pp. 104–238, 2020.
ru: взаимодействие
intrinsic
adjective
belonging naturally; essential.
Example: Platform carbonates are a major component of the Earth system, but their spatial distribution through geological times is difficult to reconstruct, due to the incompleteness of geological records, sampling heterogeneity, and their intrinsic complexity. [2] [2] J. Michel, M. Laugié, A. Pohl et al. “Marine carbonate factories: a global model of carbonate platform distribution.” International Journal of Earth Sciences, vol. 108, pp. 1773–1792, 2019.
ru: внутренний
mutually
adverb
with mutual action; in a mutual relationship.
Example: The deep-water setting is unique in the sense that the scales of sedimentological and stratigraphic cycles at any location are not mutually exclusive. [1] [1] O. Catuneanu. “Sequence stratigraphy of deep-water systems.” Marine and Petroleum Geology, vol. 114, pp. 104–238, 2020.

neritic
relating to or denoting the shallow part of the sea near a coast and overlying the continental shelf.
Example: The approach allows determining four neritic carbonate factories that are called the marine biochemical, photozoan, photo-C-, and heterozoan factories. [2] [2] J. Michel, M. Laugié, A. Pohl et al. “Marine carbonate factories: a global model of carbonate platform distribution.” International Journal of Earth Sciences, vol. 108, pp. 1773–1792, 2019.

overwhelming
adjective
very great in amount.
Example: However, most case studies conclude that the overwhelming majority of dedolomites form from meteoric waters in the “near-surface” environment. [3] [3] J. Schoenherr et al. “Dedolomitization: review and case study of uncommon mesogenetic formation conditions.” Earth-Science Reviews, vol. 185, pp. 780-805, 2018.
ru: подавляющий
pelagic
adjective
relating to the open sea.
Example: The difference relates to the patterns of sediment dispersal in the deep-water environment, whereby areas away or in between the paths of gravity-driven transport can accumulate pelagic sediment or contourites for periods of time encompassing multiple stratigraphic cycles. [1] [1] O. Catuneanu. “Sequence stratigraphy of deep-water systems.” Marine and Petroleum Geology, vol. 114, pp. 104–238, 2020.
ru: пелагический
pervasive
adjective
(especially of an unwelcome influence or physical effect) spreading widely throughout an area or a group of people.
Example: In contrast to the classic models, we present a case study for pervasive burial dedolomitization, unrelated to meteoric fluids. [3] [3] J. Schoenherr et al. “Dedolomitization: review and case study of uncommon mesogenetic formation conditions.” Earth-Science Reviews, vol. 185, pp. 780-805, 2018.
ru: всепроникающий
pristine
adjective
in its original condition; unspoiled.
Example: Homogenization temperatures between 51 and 56 °C measured in some early fluid inclusions in dedolomite textures further exclude a pristine meteoric water input and suggest fluid entrapment in a burial depth range of 900 to 1400 m. [3] [3] J. Schoenherr et al. “Dedolomitization: review and case study of uncommon mesogenetic formation conditions.” Earth-Science Reviews, vol. 185, pp. 780-805, 2018.
ru: нетронутый
prominent
adjective
projecting from something; protuberant.
Example: In subsurface case studies, karst-related dedolomitization may be visible in seismic data due to significantly high contrasts in acoustic impedance such as across a prominent unconformity between Mesozoic and Cenozoic strata in northeastern Spain (del Olmo and Esteban, 1983). [2] [2] J. Michel, M. Laugié, A. Pohl et al. “Marine carbonate factories: a global model of carbonate platform distribution.” International Journal of Earth Sciences, vol. 108, pp. 1773–1792, 2019.
ru: выдающийся
seminal
adjective
(of a work, event, moment, or figure) strongly influencing later developments.
Example: We build on the seminal work of Wilson (1975) about the fundamental requisite for carbonate precipitation that includes “warm waters, clear waters, water movement”. [2] [2] J. Michel, M. Laugié, A. Pohl et al. “Marine carbonate factories: a global model of carbonate platform distribution.” International Journal of Earth Sciences, vol. 108, pp. 1773–1792, 2019.
ru: основополагающий
solely
adverb
not involving anyone or anything else; only.
Example: The meaning of sedimentary cyclicity in the deep-water setting is difficult to clarify solely from the analysis of vertical profiles (e.g., individual outcrops or wells). [2] [2] J. Michel, M. Laugié, A. Pohl et al. “Marine carbonate factories: a global model of carbonate platform distribution.” International Journal of Earth Sciences, vol. 108, pp. 1773–1792, 2019.
ru: исключительно
sparse
adjective
thinly dispersed or scattered.
Example: Thus, global trends and models such as the carbonate factory model of Schlager (2000, 2003, 2005) are useful tools for the extrapolation of sparse geological data. [2] [2] J. Michel, M. Laugié, A. Pohl et al. “Marine carbonate factories: a global model of carbonate platform distribution.” International Journal of Earth Sciences, vol. 108, pp. 1773–1792, 2019.
ru: редкий
thereof
adverb
of the thing just mentioned; of that.
Example: While the relative sea level is only one element of the ‘dual control’ on the stratigraphic architecture, changes thereof affect the transfer efficiency of riverborne sediment to the deep-water setting (higher during relative sea-level fall), the shelf capacity to retain extrabasinal sediment (lower during relative sea-level fall), and the production of intrabasinal sediment (lower during relative sea-level fall in carbonate settings). [1] [1] O. Catuneanu. “Sequence stratigraphy of deep-water systems.” Marine and Petroleum Geology, vol. 114, pp. 104–238, 2020.
ru: из этого
to denote
verb
be a sign of; indicate.
Example: Applying this scheme more precisely denotes whether dedolomite is the result of (a) the hydrogeology of surface-related waters (eo- or telogenetic) or (b) burial diagenesis (mesogenetic). [3] [3] J. Schoenherr et al. “Dedolomitization: review and case study of uncommon mesogenetic formation conditions.” Earth-Science Reviews, vol. 185, pp. 780-805, 2018.

Pohl et al. “Marine carbonate factories: a global model of carbonate platform distribution.” International Journal of Earth Sciences, vol. 108, pp. 1773–1792, 2019.
ru: мешает
to invoke
verb
cite or appeal to (someone or something) as an authority for an action or in support of an argument.
Example: Theriault and Hutcheon (1987) invoke a very early phase of dedolomitization directly after dolomitization caused by solution and re-precipitation processes when the dolomitizing fluids became depleted in Mg2+ and supersaturated with respect to Ca2+, possibly when meteoric water entered the underlying dolomitic Grosmont limestone (Canada) along an unconformity. [3] [3] J. Schoenherr et al. “Dedolomitization: review and case study of uncommon mesogenetic formation conditions.” Earth-Science Reviews, vol. 185, pp. 780-805, 2018.

Pohl et al. “Marine carbonate factories: a global model of carbonate platform distribution.” International Journal of Earth Sciences, vol. 108, pp. 1773–1792, 2019.
ru: продолжать
to rely
verb
depend on with full trust or confidence
Example: These criteria rely on reproducible (i.e., diagnostic) stratigraphic trends, and must remain independent of any basin-specific (i.e., non-diagnostic) variability. [1] [1] O. Catuneanu. “Sequence stratigraphy of deep-water systems.” Marine and Petroleum Geology, vol. 114, pp. 104–238, 2020.

Example: While the relative sea level is only one element of the ‘dual control’ on the stratigraphic architecture, changes thereof affect the transfer efficiency of riverborne sediment to the deep-water setting (higher during relative sea-level fall), the shelf capacity to retain extrabasinal sediment (lower during relative sea-level fall), and the production of intrabasinal sediment (lower during relative sea-level fall in carbonate settings). [1] [1] O. Catuneanu. “Sequence stratigraphy of deep-water systems.” Marine and Petroleum Geology, vol. 114, pp. 104–238, 2020.
ru: удерживать
to reveal
verb
make (previously unknown or secret information) known to others.
Example: Petrographic analyses show that approximately 80% of all observed calcite reveal a dedolomite microtexture, causing a reduction of average matrix porosity by 5 to 10% compared to the dolomite.

Pohl et al. “Marine carbonate factories: a global model of carbonate platform distribution.” International Journal of Earth Sciences, vol. 108, pp. 1773–1792, 2019.
ru: процветать
topmost
adjective
highest in physical position; highest.
Example: Based on calcium-sulfate dissolution fabrics in the overlying Permian section and a topmost limestone (dedolomitized) interval of the otherwise dolomitized platform, Chilingar (1956) concluded that dedolomitization is a process fully restricted to the surface environment. [3] [3] J. Schoenherr et al. “Dedolomitization: review and case study of uncommon mesogenetic formation conditions.” Earth-Science Reviews, vol. 185, pp. 780-805, 2018.
ru: самый верхний
underlain
verb
be a significant cause or basis of (something) even if not necessarily manifest or obvious.
