Off-fault tensile cracks: A link between geological fault observations, lab experiments, and dynamic rupture models [PDF]
We examine the local nature of the dynamic stress field in the vicinity of the tip of a semi-infinite sub-Rayleigh (slower than the Rayleigh wave speed, c_R) mode II crack with a velocity-weakening cohesive zone. We constrain the model using results from

Minerals in Afghanistan : the potential for copper [PDF]
There are around 300 documented copper deposits, occurrences and showings in Afghanistan as shown in Figure 1. A variety of styles of copper mineralisation occur in rocks ranging in age from Proterozoic to Neogene.

Asymmetric continental deformation during South Atlantic rifting along southern Brazil and Namibia [PDF]
Plate restoration of South America and Africa to their pre-breakup position faces the problem of gaps and overlaps between the continents, an issue commonly solved with implementing intra-plate deformation zones within South America.

Characterization of a complex near-surface structure using well logging and passive seismic measurements [PDF]
We combine geophysical well logging and passive seismic measurements to characterize the near-surface geology of an area located in Hontomin, Burgos (Spain). This area has some near-surface challenges for a geophysical study.

Geological constraints for a conceptual evolutionary model of the slope deformations affecting Mt. Nuovo at Ischia (Italy) [PDF]
ischia island was the scenario of several Holocene slope in- stability events occurred at different scales, from shallow mass movements, triggered by meteo-climatic forcing, up to massive rock slope failures such as large debris avalanches these last ...

When evaluating the dynamic response of soil, shear modulus is an essential parameter to consider. In most cases, the shear modulus is estimated using the shear wave velocity (Vs) of the soil as observed in field geophysical testing.
