2008年汶川MS8.0地震现场的震害调查资料显示,河流阶地地形对建筑物震害分布的影响规律表现为:阶地前缘冲洪积层较厚区域的建筑物遭受了严重的破坏,而阶地后缘坡积层较薄区域受损则相对较轻,总体上呈现出前缘震害显著大于后缘的特征。为研究该震害特征的机制,利用有限差分软件FLAC3D构建三维阶地模型,模拟分析了脉冲荷载作用下阶地模型的地震动响应。结果表明:各级阶地前缘的地震动水平均显著高于后缘,同时随着上覆土层的增厚,峰值加速度、相对持时值、反应谱平台值以及放大系数均呈现上升趋势;随着阶地级数的减小 ...

In extreme heavy snowfall environments (maximum snow depth of 5 m), dominant species such as Pterocarya rhoifolia and Aesculus turbinata exhibited different survival strategies—sprouting, dwarfing, and layering—compared to their tall forms in heavy snowfall areas (maximum 2 m).

Investigation of the relationships between basin morphology, tectonic uplift, and denudation from the study of an active fold belt in the Siwalik Hills, central Nepal [PDF]
The present study investigates correlations between an extensive range of geomorphic properties that can be estimated from a digital elevation model and the uplift rate on geological timescales.

Provenance records from the late Palaeozoic Marfa Basin in West Texas reveal the transition from the Ancestral Rocky Mountains to the Ouachita–Marathon–Sonora orogenies during the early Permian in SW Laurentia. ABSTRACT The Marfa Basin in West Texas is a late Palaeozoic synorogenic depocenter associated with regional deformation linked to the Ancestral

Holocene Palaeoenvironmental change at the mouth of Sabarmati River, Gulf of Khambhat, Western India
The fluvio-marine archives have been widely used to assess the imprints of land-sea interaction during the Holocene period, which has been enigmatic in terms of changes in environmental conditions. To comprehend the fluvial-marine interactions during the

X‐ray computed tomography study of terrestrial analog cores in preparation for Mars sample return
Abstract Mars Sample Return (MSR) is expected to transform planetary science by providing unprecedented access to pristine Martian material. Initial characterization in the sample receiving facility (SRF) will rely on nondestructive techniques such as X‐ray computed tomography (XCT) to document the condition, distribution, and internal features of ...
