Application of wide-field electromagnetic method for favorable target optimization in the Heishan granite geothermal area of Yunnan Province

open access: yesNatural Gas Industry B
The Heishan geothermal area is positioned above the sole Yunnan–Tibet high-temperature geothermal belt, where huge geothermal energy resources are available. Utilizing the characteristics of large exploration depth, extensive coverage, and high precision

Development of fluid pathways and associated diagenetic variations in a natural CO2 leaking fault zone. [PDF]

open access: yesLithosphere
Permeability within fault zones can vary through time due to repeated deformation events and rock–fluid interactions. Understanding the history of fault zone alteration is critical when building hydrogeologic models and evaluating the risk of mechanical ...

Earthquake Forecast via Neutrino Tomography

open access: yes, 2011
We discuss the possibility of forecasting earthquakes by means of (anti)neutrino tomography. Antineutrinos emitted from reactors are used as a probe. As the antineutrinos traverse through a region prone to earthquakes, observable variations in the matter

Geodetic displacements and aftershocks following the 2001 M_w = 8.4 Peru earthquake: Implications for the mechanics of the earthquake cycle along subduction zones [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We analyzed aftershocks and postseismic deformation recorded by the continuous GPS station AREQ following the M_w = 8.4, 23 June 2001 Peru earthquake. This station moved by 50 cm trenchward, in a N235°E direction during the coseismic phase, and continued

Strain localization driven by thermal decomposition during seismic shear [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Field and laboratory observations show that shear deformation is often extremely localized at seismic slip rates, with a typical deforming zone width on the order of a few tens of microns. This extreme localization can be understood in terms of thermally

Metamorphism, argon depletion, heat flow and stress on the Alpine fault [PDF]

open access: yes
The Alpine fault of New Zealand is a major continental transform fault which was uplifted on its southeast side 4 to 11 km within the last 5 m.y. This uplift has exposed the Haast schists, which were metamorphosed from the adjacent Torlesse graywackes ...

Exhumation of the Inyo Mountains, California: Implications for the Timing of Extension along the Western Boundary of the Basin and Range Province and Distribution of Dextral Fault Slip Rates across the Eastern California Shear Zone [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
New geologic mapping, tectonic geomorphologic, 10Be terrestrial cosmogenic nuclide, and (U-Th)/He zircon and apatite thermochronometric data provide the first numerical constraints on late Cretaceous to late Quaternary exhumation of the Inyo Mountains ...

Numerical analysis of site deformation and formation stress characteristics of Jingyang–Weinan active fault zone

open access: yesShuiwen dizhi gongcheng dizhi
The Jingyang–Weinan Fault that Xi’an Metro Line 10 crosses is a Holocene active fault, and its future stick-slip earthquakes and coseismic dislocations pose a potential threat to the metro line.

Earthquake ruptures modulated by waves in damaged fault zones [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Faults are usually surrounded by damaged zones of lower elastic moduli and seismic wave velocities than their host rocks. If the interface between the damaged rocks and host rocks is sharp enough, earthquakes happening inside the fault zone generate ...

Identification and interpretation of tectonic features from ERTS-1 imagery [PDF]

open access: yes
The author has identified the following significant results. ERTS-1 imagery shows that the southern segment of the San Gabriel fault which controls the west fork of the San Gabriel River is strikingly similar to the Mill Creek Fault in the San Bernardino
