Theory for acoustic propagation in solid containing gas bubbles, with applications to marine sediment and tissue

open access: yes, 2007
Whilst there is a considerable body of work in the literature on the theory of acoustic propagation in marine sediment, the incorporation of gas bubbles into such theories is done with the inclusion of assumptions which severely limit the applicability ...

Rock mechanics constraints on mid-crustal low-viscosity flow beneath Tibet

open access: yes, 2011
It has been inferred from various types of geophysical data that the Tibetan middle and upper crust is detached from the underlying lower crust and mantle by a weak, mid-crustal zone involving partial melting at about 30-35 km depth.

The Pingding segment of the Altyn Tagh Fault (91E): Holocene slip-rate determination from cosmogenic radionuclide dating of offset fluvial terraces

open access: yes, 2012
International audienceMorphochronologic slip-rates on the Altyn Tagh Fault (ATF) along the southern front of the Pingding Shan at 90.5E are determined by cosmogenic radionuclide (CRN) dating of seven offset terraces at two sites. The terraces are defined

Ocean acoustic circumpropagation in the ice seas of Europa

open access: yes, 2007
In recent years increased attention has been paid to the potential uses of acoustics forextraterrestrial exploration. A number of important papers have discussed propagationon Europa, primarily with respect to sound in the ice sheet which is believed to ...

The role of frictional heating in the development of catastrophic landslides [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In this work, a new thermo-mechanical model is developed by improving on an existing one, applicable to large deep seated landslides and rockslides consisting of a coherent mass sliding on a thin clayey layer.

Influence of Self-Heating on Landfill Leachate Migration

open access: yes
The hydrodynamic processes of landfill leachate migration in the base of a solid waste landfill can have a critical impact on the natural environment. In the case of improper operation of municipal solid waste placement facilities, highly contaminated ...

Odour nuisance from solid wastes: development of a model describing emission, dispersion and reception [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Odours emitted from Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) landfills create nuisance in the surrounding environment. The odour comes from the mixture of volatile organic compounds present in the landfill gas, leachate and leachate treatment systems, sewage ...

Architecture and mechanics of an active low-angle normal fault: Alto Tiberina Fault, northern Apennines, Italy

open access: yes, 2007
We present seismological evidence for the existence of an actively slipping low angle normal fault (15¡ã dip) located in the Northern Apennines of Italy. During a temporary seismic experiment, we recorded ~2000 earthquakes with ML ¡Ý 3.1. The micro-
