A novel approach for in situ benthic habitat characterization
Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Habitat heterogeneity is a key driver of temporal and spatial variability of subtidal marine benthic biodiversity. However, this makes it a challenging environment in which to measure and quantify the factors driving biodiversity in a consistent manner.

Seismic activity near Ulannbaatar : implication for seismic hazard assessment
Activité sismique de la région d'Oulan Bator : implication pour l'évaluation de l'aléa sismique On observe depuis 2005 une sismicité intense à 10 km d'Oulan Bator ce qui a permis d'identifier une faille active, Emeelt, sur le terrain. Après le calcule d'un modèle de vitesse 3D, j'ai appliqué la tomographie double différence pour obtenir

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Numerical simulation of hydraulic fracturing remains challenging due to the strong coupling between geomechanics and fluid flow when modelling multiple physical mechanisms of rock deformation, fracture evolution and fluid leak‐off. This study develops a coupled hydraulic fracture propagation framework that combines the extended finite element ...

Seismic loss assessment of sequential rupture of New Madrid Seismic Zone on the Central US
, 2010 The New Madrid Seismic Zone (NMSZ) is described as a low probability high risk event. In case of a repetition of the 1811-1812 earthquake series, the expected consequences will cause catastrophic impacts to directly affected areas and beyond.

Numerical Modeling of Geological Fault Reactivation Using Sequential Coupling Strategies
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The interaction between fluid flow and mechanical deformation in fault zones can lead to processes of fault reactivation, triggering potential geomechanical problems such as seismicity, well collapse, fluid migration to shallower layers, and aggravated surface subsidence.

Estimating the critical angle of top near‐surface layers on the Moon
Near Surface Geophysics, EarlyView.Abstract Near‐surface characterization of the lunar subsurface is essential for future exploration and infrastructure development, particularly for the construction of underground habitats that provide protection against radiation and micrometeorites. However, conventional seismic approaches for estimating subsurface properties typically rely on prior ...

Development of an open-source platform for calculating losses from earthquakes
, 2012 Risk analysis has a critical role in the reduction of casualties and damages due to earthquakes. Recognition of this relation has led to a rapid rise in demand for accurate, reliable and flexible risk assessment numerical tools and software.

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Indigenous Peoples in northern Alberta, including Dené and Cree of the Athabasca Chipewyan and Mikisew Cree First Nations (ACFN and MCFN), have been using Indigenous laws and stewardship principles to care for their homelands for thousands of years. Since ACFN and MCFN signed Treaty 8 with Canada in 1899, Alberta's land management policies and
