Interactions between thin- and thick-skinned tectonics at the northwestern front of the Jura fold-and-thrust belt (eastern France) [PDF]

, 2008
International audienceThis study investigates spatial and temporal interactions of thin- and thick-skinned tectonics in a classical foreland setting located at the front of the Jura fold-and-thrust belt in eastern France.

DeepRFQC: automating quality control for P-wave receiver function analysis using a U-net inspired network

Seismica
This paper introduces DeepRFQC, an automated method for quality control in P-wave receiver function analysis. Leveraging a U-Net inspired deep learning model, which has previously shown promise in denoising and phase detection, DeepRFQC efficiently ...

The Alpine evolution of Thessaly (NW Greece) and Late Tertiary Aegean kinematics [PDF]

, 1998
The Aegean region is one ofthe most studied regions currently undergoing post-orogenic extension. Numerous kinematic and dynamic models have been proposed to account for its active tectonics.

Zircon dissolution in a ductile shear zone, Monte Rosa granite gneiss, northern Italy [PDF]

, 2008
The sizes, distributions and shapes of zircon grains within variably deformed granite gneiss from the western Alps have been studied. Zircon shows numerous indicators of a metamorphic response in both the host gneiss and a 5 cm wide continuous ductile ...

Late Pleistocene–Holocene denudation, uplift, and morphology evolution of the Armorican Massif (western Europe) [PDF]

Earth Surface Dynamics
Elevated Plio-Pleistocene coastal and marine markers in stable continental regions are commonly explained by a combination of eustatic sea-level variations and large-scale geological processes (e.g., crustal or mantle dynamics).

Parametric Study of Lateral Load on Helical Pipe Piles in Clay

Geotechnics
In the past decades, as the world has placed emphasis on green energy, solar energy has become a favorable option. Different piled foundations have been designed to strengthen the structure supporting the solar panels.

Fracture Network Influence on Rock Damage and Gas Transport following an Underground Explosion

Geotechnics
Simulations of rock damage and gas transport following underground explosions that omit preexisting fracture networks in the subsurface cannot fully characterize the influence of geo-structural variability on gas transport.

A simple physical model for glacial cycles [PDF]

Earth System Dynamics
Glacial cycles are the norm in Pleistocene climate variability. Models of varying degree of complexity have been used to answer the question of what causes the nonlinear response of the climate system to the periodic forcing from the Sun.

Stabilization of Shallow Landslides Induced by Rainwater Infiltration—A Case Study from Northern Croatia

Geotechnics
Climate change brings with it phenomena such as large amounts of rainfall in short periods. Infiltration of rainwater into clayey soils is a common trigger for shallow landslides on slopes.

Structural geology of impact craters

, 2014
The formation of impact craters is a highly dynamic and complex process that subjects the impacted target rocks to numerous types of deformation mechanisms.
