State-of-the-art in studies of glacial isostatic adjustment for the British Isles: a literature review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Understanding the effects of glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) of the British Isles is essential for the assessment of past and future sea-level trends.

Adaptive vertical-deformation field estimation and current tectonic deformation significance analysis in Shanxi rift valley

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
The Shanxi rift valley is a continental rift system that is characterized by mantle uplift, crustal thinning, and tectonic deformation. A continuous, vertical crustal-deformation field can elucidate the constraints for understanding the mechanisms ...

Effective elastic thickness in the Central Andes. Correlation to orogenic deformation styles and lower crust high-gravity anomaly [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Global studies have assessed the importance of elastic thickness (Te) on orogenic evolution, showing that the style and nature of upper crustal shortening are influenced by the inherited lithospheric strength. Thus, pioneer works have identified that the

Distinguishing shallow from mid-crustal magmatic processes at Soufrière Hills Volcano using Finite Element Modelling and co-analysis of EDM and GPS data

open access: yesVolcanica, 2023
We modelled ground deformation at Soufrière Hills Volcano (SHV), using data collected by the Montserrat Volcano Observatory from 2010–2019. We investigate the combined use of Electronic Distance Measuring (EDM) and Global Positioning System (GPS) to ...

The Mesozoic along-strike tectono-metamorphic segmentation of Longmen Shan (eastern Tibetan plateau) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The Longmen Shan belt (eastern border of the Tibetan plateau) constitutes a tectonically active region as demonstrated by the occurrence of the unexpected 2008 Mw 7.9 Wenchuan and 2013 Mw 6.6 Lushan earthquakes in the central and southern parts of the ...

From Waste to Value: Conversion of Calcium Sulfate to Vaterite via Carbon Capture and Storage

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a new concept for carbon management that relies on the carbonation of industrial gypsum waste and yields phase‐pure vaterite at ambient conditions without any additives. The obtained vaterite is further shown to be a reactive material that develops compressive strength in aqueous suspensions like conventional cements.

Numerical simulation of mid-lower crustal flow model in Sichuan-Yunnan constrained by GNSS observations

open access: yesGeodesy and Geodynamics
The Sichuan-Yunnan region, located at the southeastern margin of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, serves as a key channel for the southeastward extrusion of plateau material.

Tectonic evolution of a continental collision zone: A thermomechanical numerical model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We model evolution of a continent-continent collision and draw some parallels with the tectonic evolution of the Himalaya. We use a large-scale visco-plasto-elastic thermomechanical model that has a free upper surface, accounts for erosion and deposition
