Effects of mining subsidence observed by time-lapse seismic reflection profiling [PDF]
, 1995 Extracting coal from underground mineworkings causes the overlying rocks to subside with associated changes in the stress regime. The aim of the study reported here was to apply the surface seismic reflection method to study the effect of subsidence on ...

Ecography, EarlyView.Latitudinal diversity gradients (LDGs) arise from the interplay of historical, ecological, and evolutionary processes, yet these drivers may differ across landforms. Mountains, with steep elevational and climatic gradients, often sustain distinct diversity dynamics compared with adjacent lowlands, where vertical climatic gradients are weak and human ...

The EU's Strategy for Sustainability: A Landmark Turn With the European Green Deal?
European Policy Analysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT While the European Green Deal (EGD) has been widely recognized as a milestone in the EU's sustainability strategy, scholars disagree on the nature of the policy change it represents. Critics highlight its limited social and environmental ambitions, despite its portrayal as a “man on the moon” moment.

Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment for Taiwan
Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2016 The Taiwan Earthquake Model (TEM) was established to assess the seismic hazard and risk for Taiwan by considering the social and economic impacts of various components from geology, seismology, and engineering. This paper gives the first version of TEM probabilistic seismic hazard analysis for Taiwan in these aspects. We named it TEM PSHA2015.

Joint seismic/electrical effective medium modelling of hydrate-bearing marine sediments and an application to the Vancouver Island margin [PDF]
, 2008 Remote determination of the hydrate content of marine sediments remains a challenging problem.In the absence of boreholes, the most commonly used approach involves the measurement of Pwavevelocities from seismic experiments.
