Anomalous secular sea-level acceleration in the Baltic Sea caused by isostatic adjustment
Annals of Geophysics, 2014 Observations from the global array of tide gauges show that global sea-level has been rising at an average rate of 1.5-2 mm/yr during the last ~150 years [Douglas 1991, Spada and Galassi 2012]. Although a global sea-level acceleration was initially ruled

SELEN4 (SELEN version 4.0): a Fortran program for solving the gravitationally and topographically self-consistent sea-level equation in glacial isostatic adjustment modeling [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2019 We present SELEN4 (SealEveL EquatioN solver), an open-source program written in Fortran 90 that simulates the glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) process in response to the melting of the Late Pleistocene ice sheets.

Influence of chemically-modified cotton straw fibers on the properties of asphalt mortar
Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2023 Cotton straw fibers have an important influence on the performance of asphalt mixtures. However, the modification of cotton straw fibers and the performance characterization between the treated cotton straw fibers and asphalt are still lack of ...

How old is the ice beneath Dome A, Antarctica? [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2014 Chinese scientists will start to drill a deep ice core at Kunlun station near Dome A in the near future. Recent work has predicted that Dome A is a location where ice older than 1 million years can be found.

The westward drift of the lithosphere. A tidal ratchet? [PDF]
, 2018 Is the westerly rotation of the lithosphere an ephemeral accidental recent phenomenon or is it a stable process of Earth’s geodynamics? The reason why the tidal drag has been questioned as the mechanism determining the lithospheric shift relative to ...

The West Kunlun Glacier Anomaly and Its Response to Climate Forcing during 2002–2020
Remote Sensing, 2022 Research into glacial mass change in West Kunlun (WK) has been sufficient, but most of the existing studies were based on geodetic methods, which are not suitable for specific health state analyses of each glacier.

Glacially striated, soft sediment surfaces on late Paleozoic tillite at São Luiz do Purunã, PR
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2005 Striae and furrows found on the upper surfaces of three stratigraphically superposed decimetric beds of late Paleozoic lodgement tillite of the Itararé Subgroup in the northern Paraná Basin were engraved by ploughing of clasts and possibly also ice ...

Convergent flow in a two-layer system and mountain building [PDF]
, 2010 With the purpose of modelling the process of mountain building, we investigate the evolution of the ridge produced by the convergent motion of a system consisting of two layers of liquids that differ in density and viscosity to simulate the crust and the
