On August 8, 2017, an MW 6.5 earthquake occurred in Jiuzhaigou County, Sichuan Province, China, on the eastern margin of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. This study investigates the coseismic deformation field and fault model with ascending and descending ...

Livestock disturbances decreased the area of suitable habitat of forest pheasants by 14.28% in 7 years. Livestock activities remarkably increased the nest failure rate (by 2.18 times) of forest pheasants. Abstract The degradation and fragmentation of natural habitats, driven largely by anthropogenic activities such as grazing, represent growing ...

Post-Disaster Restoration and Reconstruction Assessment of the Jiuzhaigou Lake Landscape and a Resilience Development Pathway. [PDF]
The essence of post-disaster reconstruction is the restoration and rebirth of the affected areas. The earthquake hitting Jiuzhaigou was the first earthquake that had its epicenter in the World Natural Heritage located in China. Ecological restoration and

Two-Stage Stochastic Programming Model for Improving Transportation Network Resilience of Relief Supplies in Sequential Hazards Scenario [PDF]
Cascading failure of road transport networks caused by complex sequential natural hazards adversely affects the use of pre-positioning relief supplies. Therefore, it is vital to improve the transportation network resilience of relief supplies by using an

Seismological Indicators of Geologically Inferred Fault Maturity
Abstract Variations in fault zone maturity have intermittently been invoked to explain variations in some seismological observations for large earthquakes. However, the lack of a unified geological definition of fault maturity makes quantitative assessment of its importance difficult.

Abstract In the continents, the importance of earthquakes that occur away from major block‐bounding faults is still debated. The 21 May 2021 MW ∼ 7.4 Maduo earthquake occurred on a secondary fault away from previously‐identified major block boundaries.

Abstract The 2021 Mw 7.3 Maduo earthquake ruptured the Kunlun Pass‐Jiangcuo fault (KPJF) in the Bayan Har Block (BHB) in northeastern Tibet. To explore the reasons behind the Maduo earthquake and the seismic hazards that followed this event in the BHB, we simulated the Coulomb stress changes before and after 2021 caused by 27 large historical ...

Large‐Scale Interseismic Strain Mapping of the NE Tibetan Plateau From Sentinel‐1 Interferometry
Abstract The launches of the Sentinel‐1 synthetic aperture radar satellites in 2014 and 2016 started a new era of high‐resolution velocity and strain rate mapping for the continents. However, multiple challenges exist in tying independently processed velocity data sets to a common reference frame and producing high‐resolution strain rate fields.
