Field estimate of paleoseismic slip on a normal fault using the Schmidt hammer and terrestrial LiDAR: Methods and application to the Hebgen fault (Montana, USA) [PDF]
, 2018 The weathering characteristics of bedrock fault scarps provide relative age constraints that can be used to determine fault displacements. Here, we report Schmidt hammer rebound values (R‐values) for a limestone fault scarp that was last exposed in the ...

Before It Was ‘New’: A Neglected History of Lived Experience–Led Criminal Justice
The Howard Journal of Crime and Justice, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A growing range of criminal justice initiatives are being shaped and delivered by people with lived experience, including peer mentoring, prisoner councils and policy advocacy roles. While often seen as recent innovations, we reveal a deeper, largely unacknowledged history dating back to at least the 19th century.

Controlling systematic errors in rock testing by measurement uncertainty analysis [PDF]
Journal of Engineering Management and Competitiveness, 2018 In engineering and fundamental sciences, many important decisions are based on the results of quantitative measurements. When an observation result is stated, it is also required to determine the uncertainty associated with the observation. A measurement
