An investigation into the controls of granite plutonism in the Sierra da Freita region, Northern Portugal [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The Serra da Freita region of north central Portugal was chosen for study as it displays the complex relationships between regional structure, plutonism, regional and contact metamorphism typical of this part of Iberia.

The role of Internal Solitary Waves on deep-water sedimentary processes. The case of up-slope migrating sediment waves off the Messina Strait [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Subaqueous, asymmetric sand waves are typically observed in marine channel/canyon systems, tidal environments, and continental slopes exposed to strong currents, where they are formed by current shear resulting from a dominant unidirectional flow ...

Geology, fluid inclusions, isotope geochemistry, and geochronology of the Paishanlou shear zone-hosted Gold Deposit, North China Craton

open access: yesOre Geology Reviews, 2005
Abstract The Paishanlou gold deposit lies along the northern margin of North China Craton gold province, the third largest Au province in China. The deposit is mainly hosted in Archean metamorphic rocks of the Jianping Group and is structurally controlled by two sets of ductile shear zones.

A new uncertainty analysis method based on geostatistical simulation and a case study

open access: yesCase Studies in Construction Materials
The stability of slopes might be influenced by numerous uncertainty factors. In this study, three uncertainty factors are considered in the slope stability analysis, which are locations of weak structural surfaces, structures of soil-rock mixtures ...

Stratigraphy and development of the Late Miocene-Early Pleistocene Hawke’s Bay forearc basin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
A Late Miocene-Early Pleistocene mixed carbonate-siliciclastic sedimentary succession about 2 500 m thick in the Hawke’s Bay forearc basin is the focus of a basin analysis. The area under investigation covers 3 500 km2 of western and central Hawke’s Bay.
