Fabrics produced mimetically during static metamorphism in retrogressed eclogites from the Zermatt-Saas zone, Western Italian Alps

, 2017
Lattice preferred orientations (LPOs) are commonly interpreted to form by dislocation creep. Consequently they are used to infer deformation at the metamorphic grade at which the minerals were stable, especially if those minerals show a shape fabric ...

Flow in naturally deformed ice: a cryogenic electron microscopy and modelling study of the NEEM ice core [PDF]

, 2019
Understanding the flow of ice is essential to predict the contribution of the polar ice sheets to global mean sea level rise in the next decades and centuries. During this PhD project, the recrystallization and deformation mechanisms that govern the flow

Large earthquakes are more predictable than smaller ones

Seismica
Large earthquakes have been viewed as highly chaotic events regardless of their magnitude, making their prediction intrinsically challenging.

What model material to use? A Review on rock analogs for structural geology and tectonics [PDF]

, 2020
Analog, or physical, models have been used to investigate problems in structural geology and tectonics for over two centuries. Together with field observations and theoretical considerations they form the basis for significant advances in our ...

Geotechnical Properties of Urmia Saltwater Lake Bed Sediments

Geotechnics
Urmia Lake (UL) is the sixth-largest saltwater lake in the world; however, there is a dearth of geotechnical studies on this region. Geotechnical characteristics of a site are considered important from different engineering perspectives. In this research,

Sensitivity Analysis and Application of the Shanghai Model in Ultra-Deep Excavation Engineering

Geotechnics
In deep foundation pit engineering, the soil undergoes a complex stress path, encompassing both loading and unloading phases. The Shanghai model, an advanced constitutive model, effectively accounts for the soil’s deformation characteristics under these ...
