Abstract The spatial distribution of seismicity in active fault zones depends primarily on the geometry of the fault networks. However, recent advances suggest that seismic activity may also be controlled by the rheology of the geological units surrounding fault zones. In the present work, we use seismological and geological analyses to investigate the

Discrete Element Modeling of Boulder Energy Distribution in Rock Avalanches on Irregular Terrain
Abstract The destructive potential of a rock avalanche can come from any single boulder. Rock avalanches across irregular terrain were simulated using the discrete element method (DEM) with high‐performance computing to model particle quantities from one to millions. Simulations were validated against published miniature flume experiments and varied in

Evolution of Shear‐Zone Fractures Presages the Disintegration of Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf
Abstract Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf (TEIS) is a partially confined floating extension of Thwaites Glacier, anchored by an offshore pinning point at its northern terminus. Over the past two decades, the shelf has experienced progressive fracturing around a prominent shear zone upstream of its pinning point, gradually compromising its structural ...

Local Versus Regional Controls on the Morphology and Texture of Preserved Beach and Foredune Ridges
Abstract Beach‐and‐foredune‐ridge plains archive paleoenvironmental changes within their morphology and stratigraphy. Despite advances in integrating modern process data with coastal sedimentary archives, we lack a quantitative understanding of how coastal progradation processes such as time‐varying wave, current, and sediment transport processes ...

Abstract Over the past two decades, a large number of zircon U‐Pb ages from the Yangtze and Yellow River Basins have been published, yet distinguishing the sources of sediment between these regions remains challenging. Issues related to sampling, analytical methods, and biases complicate the interpretation of detrital zircon geochronology.

Abstract Ultrahigh‐pressure (UHP) nappes provide important opportunities to investigate the processes that exhume rocks from upper mantle depths. Here, we investigate the UHP Tso Morari nappe (TMN) in the Indian Himalaya to test competing models for the construction of UHP nappes via detachment of single, structurally coherent sheets, accretion of ...
