Comparison of Seismic Site Factor Models Based on Equivalent Linear and Nonlinear Analyses and Correction Factors for Updating Equivalent Linear Results for Charleston, South Carolina

open access: yesGeosciences
In practice, site-specific one-dimensional (1D) seismic site response analyses are conducted to compute surface acceleration time histories considering shear wave velocity profile, modulus reduction, damping, and site-specific ground motions.

Zircon dissolution in a ductile shear zone, Monte Rosa granite gneiss, northern Italy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The sizes, distributions and shapes of zircon grains within variably deformed granite gneiss from the western Alps have been studied. Zircon shows numerous indicators of a metamorphic response in both the host gneiss and a 5 cm wide continuous ductile ...

U–Pb dating and Sm–Nd isotopic analysis of granitic rocks from the Tiris Complex : new constaints on key events in the evolution of the Reguibat Shield, Mauritania [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The Reguibat Shield of N Mauritania and W Algeria represents the northern exposure of the West African Craton. As with its counterpart in equatorial West Africa, the Leo Shield, it comprises a western Archaean Domain and an eastern Palaeoproterozoic ...

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.
