Fingerprinting stress: stylolite and calcite twinning paleopiezometry revealing the complexity of progressive stress patterns during folding-the case of the Monte Nero anticline in the Apennines, Italy [PDF]
, 2016 In this study we show for the first time how quantitative stress estimates can be derived by combining calcite twinning and stylolite roughness stress fingerprinting techniques in a fold-and-thrust belt.

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.The present manuscript explored the effects of joint configurations on the cyclic shear behavior of intermittent joints for the first time. The cyclic shear response, shear strength degradation, dilation characteristics evolution, frictional property, fractal dimension, and dissipative energy were further analyzed during shear cycles, which is crucial ...

Coastal Terraces, Sea Level, and Active Tectonics [PDF]
In this exercise, students investigate the use of coastal landforms from ancient shorelines in studying tectonic movements. Introductory materials explain how coastal landforms are classified on the basis of sediment supply and positions of the land ...

Automatic Reconstruction of Fault Networks from Seismicity Catalogs: 3D Optimal Anisotropic Dynamic Clustering [PDF]
, 2007 We propose a new pattern recognition method that is able to reconstruct the 3D structure of the active part of a fault network using the spatial location of earthquakes.

Active Tectonics of the Saymareh-Karkheh River Basin (Northwest of Persian Gulf, Iran)
, 2017 Active tectonics is an indicator of recent movement of mountains and landscapes evolution for regions affected by current tectonic activity. The Saymareh-Karkheh river basin is located on the Zagros Mountain in the west Iran.

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.In this work, we propose an improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm and develop an improved PSO‐relevance vector machine (RVM) model as a substitute for traditional true‐triaxial testing. The model's high prediction accuracy was validated through comparisons with two other machine learning methods and five three‐dimensional Hoek–Brown type

Active folding of fluvial terraces across the Siwaliks Hills, Himalayas of central Nepal [PDF]
, 2000 We analyze geomorphic evidence of recent crustal deformation in the sub-Himalaya of central Nepal, south of the Kathmandu Basin. The Main Frontal Thrust fault (MFT), which marks the southern edge of the sub-Himalayan fold belt, is the only active ...

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.This study investigates the coupled thermo‐mechanical behavior of granite during heating and cooling through a combination of laboratory tests and finite element analysis. The thermal conductivity, mineral composition, mass loss rate, micro‐crack observation, and thermal fracture characteristics of granite under various temperature conditions are ...

Inevitability of Plate Tectonics on Super-Earths [PDF]
, 2007 The recent discovery of super-Earths (masses less or equal to 10 earth-masses) has initiated a discussion about conditions for habitable worlds. Among these is the mode of convection, which influences a planet's thermal evolution and surface conditions ...
