Non-linear unit-hydrograph runoff routing based on kinematic wave theory
, 1996 A simple method of flood hydrograph synthesis. the kinematic wave "unit hydrograph" (KWUH) method, based on the kinematic wave theory, had been proposed by Lee et al (1992). The method is able to capture the unit response hydrograph of a catchment explicitly in terms of three characteristic, catchment-averaged, physically meaningful parameters.

A Rate‐and‐State Friction Based Criterion for the Probability of Earthquake Fault Jumps
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Geometrical complexities in natural fault zones, such as steps and gaps, pose a challenge in seismic hazard studies as they can act as obstacles to seismic ruptures. In this study, we propose a criterion, which is based on the rate‐and‐state equation, to estimate the efficiency of an earthquake rupture to jump between two spatially ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract The Southern Rocky Mountain Trench (SRMT) is a conspicuous valley in the eastern Canadian Cordillera. It lies above a sharp change in lithospheric strength and thickness and is occupied by a normal fault thought to have last been active in the Eocene.

Fault Friction, Plate Rheology, and Mantle Torques From a Global Dynamic Model of Neotectonics
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Improvements in software, parallel computing, global data sets, and laboratory flow‐laws help to develop the global Earth5 thin‐shell finite‐element model of Bird et al. (2008, https://doi.org/10.1029/2007jb005460) into a benchmark study. All experiments confirm that modeled faults (other than megathrusts) have low effective friction of 0.085 ±

Shock wave propagation analysis in coordinated signal systems by kinematic wave theory
Shock wave propagation analysis in coordinated signal systems by kinematic wave theoryThis paper describes a model which, by applying the kinematic wave theory, draws the trajectories of shock waves propagating from link to link of coordinated traffic signal systems. A BASIC program is developed to draw the trajectories on the time-space diagrams on the personal computer display in turn under arbitrary street, traffic and signal ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract The excess abundance of highly siderophile elements (HSEs), as inferred for the terrestrial planets and the Moon, is thought to record a “late veneer” of impacts after the giant impact phase of planet formation. Estimates for total mass accretion during this period typically assume all HSEs delivered remain entrained in the mantle.
