AN EARTHQUAKE CATALOG OF MID-ATLANTIC RIDGE

Bulletin of the Geological Society of Greece, 2017
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge (M-AR), which runs along the centre of the Atlantic Ocean, is one of the best known divergent boundaries. Seismic studies have been a crucial factor in deciphering the structure of the oceanic crust. For their performance a necessary prerequisite is the compilation of a reliable earthquake catalog of the broader area.

Dynamics and model representation of two contrasting extreme precipitation events in the Sahel

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Hovmöller diagrams of the two investigated extreme precipitation events in Mali are shown for (i) IMERG observations, and ICOsahedral Nonhydrostatic model (ICON) runs with parameterization of explicit convection (ii) enabled and (iii) disabled. This work highlights that the commonly perceived benefit of using explicit convection in a state‐of‐the‐art ...

Windows of opportunity in subseasonal weather regime forecasting: A statistical–dynamical approach

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study explores how the atmospheric state at initialisation creates windows of opportunity for improving week 3 forecasts of weather regime activity. Greenland blocking activity increases following Madden–Julian Oscillation phases 7, 8, and 1 and weak stratospheric polar vortex states, revealing patterns exploitable by statistical models.

Active Long-Lived Faults Emerging Along Slow-Spreading Mid-Ocean Ridges [PDF]

Oceanography, 2012
In the classic mid-ocean ridge model, new seafloor is generated through a combination of magmatic diking feeding lava flows at the spreading axis, and the formation of short-offset, high-angle normal faults that dip toward the axis.

The relationship between seasonal mean temperature and most extreme day

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
In Northern Hemisphere winter, there is a strong correlation between seasonal mean temperature and coldest daily mean temperature which varies in magnitude from one region to another (with a weaker relationship in summer between mean and hottest day).

MORPHOSTRUCTURE OF ATLANTIC’S BOTTOM AND MEDIUM ATLANTIC RIDGE

Геологія і корисні копалини Світового океану, 2019
The purpose of the study is to characterize the morphostructure and geology of Atlantic's bottom and the Mid Atlantic Ridge using generalized and new data. The basis is the bathymetric map of the Atlantic 1971, according to research data of the Institute

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Late‐Holocene evolution of a small Sub‐Arctic glacier, Gljúfurárjökull (Tröllaskagi, northern Iceland)

Boreas, EarlyView.
Gljúfurárjökull, located on the Tröllaskagi Peninsula in northern Iceland, is a small glacier approximately 3.8 km in length. This study analyses the glacier's evolution through a combination of methods including: (i) geomorphological mapping, (ii) Cosmic‐Ray Exposure (CRE) dating, (iii) lichenometry and (iv) palaeoglacier reconstruction (volume ...

Middle to Late Pleistocene landscape evolution and glacial dynamics in the Eastern Alps: the Gröbminger Mitterberg record, Austria

Boreas, EarlyView.
Glacial erosion during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) has removed much evidence of earlier glaciations and interglacials in the European Alps. At Gröbminger Mitterberg (GM), beneath a blanket of LGM till, a distinctive sediment archive preserves deposits predating the LGM.

High connectivity of animal populations in deep-sea hydrothermal vent fields in the Central Indian Ridge relevant to its geological setting. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Dispersal ability plays a key role in the maintenance of species in spatially and temporally discrete niches of deep-sea hydrothermal vent environments. On the basis of population genetic analyses in the eastern Pacific vent fields, dispersal of animals ...
