Modeling active layer thickness in permafrost rock walls based on an analytical solution of the heat transport equation, Kitzsteinhorn, Hohe Tauern Range, Austria [PDF]
Earth Surface DynamicsThe active layer thickness (ALT) refers to the seasonal thaw depth of a permafrost body and in high alpine environments represents an essential parameter for natural hazard analysis. The aim of this study is to model ALT based on bedrock temperature data

Mechanics of Cosserat Generalized Continuum and Modelling in Structural Geology [PDF]
, 2020 The conception and interpretation of models in structural geology, specially the numerical ones, are eminently based on the principles of classic continuum mechanics, where the intrinsic formulation has high degree of symmetry in its very essence ...

Possible Jurassic age for part of Rakaia Terrane: implications for tectonic development of the Torlesse accretionary prism [PDF]
, 2001 Greywacke sandstone and argillite beds comprising Rakaia Terrane (Torlesse Complex) in mid Canterbury, South Island, New Zealand, are widely regarded as Late Triassic (Norian) in age based on the occurrence of Torlessia trace fossils, Monotis, and other ...

No evidence for an active margin-spanning megasplay fault at the Cascadia Subduction Zone
SeismicaIt has been previously proposed that a megasplay fault within the Cascadia accretionary wedge, spanning from offshore Vancouver Island to Oregon, has the potential to slip during a future Cascadia subduction zone earthquake.

Investigating the D" Reflector Beneath the Indian Ocean with Source Arrays
SeismicaWe used seismic P-wave reflections to search for the discontinuity at the top of the D" region beneath the Indian Ocean. Due to a lack of seismic receiver arrays to target this region, we build source arrays using earthquakes in Indonesia and taking ...

Impacts of North American forest cover changes on the North Atlantic Ocean circulation [PDF]
Earth System DynamicsPlanetary-scale forestation has been shown to induce global surface warming associated with a slowdown of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). This AMOC slowdown is accompanied by a negative North Atlantic sea surface temperature (SST)

Triton: Geology, Atmospheric Dynamics, Interior Structure, and Evolution of Neptune's Largest Moon
Triton, Neptune’s largest moon, is a geologically active captured Kuiper Belt Object (KBO) exhibiting cryovolcanism, plume activity, and a dynamic nitrogen atmosphere. Voyager 2 observations and modern ground-based studies indicate a differentiated interior, volatile-rich surface, and potential subsurface ocean.
