Geology of the southern Mesa Central of Mexico: recording the beginning of a polymodal fault system [PDF]
The Mesa Central (MC) of Mexico presents a noticeable feature as is the three-dimensional (3D) deformation of Cenozoic volcanic rocks. To figure out when this unusual deformation began, we constructed a geological map at 1:100,000 scale, with detailed stratigraphy, and thirteen new U-Pb ages in the southern MC.

FaultSeg Swin-UNETR: Transformer-Based Self-Supervised Pretraining Model for Fault Recognition [PDF]
This paper introduces an approach to enhance seismic fault recognition through self-supervised pretraining. Seismic fault interpretation holds great significance in the fields of geophysics and geology. However, conventional methods for seismic fault recognition encounter various issues, including dependence on data quality and quantity, as well as ...

Extendable Geoslicer: A New Technique in Collecting Unconsolidated Sediment and Soil Samples
Geoslicer is a field gear for active fault geology studies invented in Japan, in 1997. It was formerly addressed to overcome some difficulties in studying active faults.

Earthquakes: from chemical alteration to mechanical rupture [PDF]
In the standard rebound theory of earthquakes, elastic deformation energy is progressively stored in the crust until a threshold is reached at which it is suddenly released in an earthquake. We review three important paradoxes, the strain paradox, the stress paradox and the heat flow paradox, that are difficult to account for in this picture, either ...

Earthquake geology of the Mondy fault (SW Baikal Rift, Siberia)
The Mondy Fault is a 90 km long E-W trending active structure belonging to the southwestern part of the Baikal rift system, connecting the Tunka depression to the East to the Hovsgol rift to the West. The fault is well expressed in the morphology and formed during the Neogene within a transtensional strain regime (left-lateral + normal ...

DeFault: Deep-learning-based Fault Delineation Using the IBDP Passive Seismic Data at the Decatur CO2 Storage Site [PDF]
The carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) framework is an essential component in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, with its success hinging on the comprehensive knowledge of subsurface geology and geomechanics. Passive seismic event relocation and fault detection serve as indispensable tools, offering vital insights into subsurface ...
