Advancing mine pillar design: Evaluating traditional methods and integrating AI for enhanced stability of pillars in the Great Dyke, Zimbabwe

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
B1 is bord width 1, B2 is bord width 2, L is the pillar length, W is the pillar width, red color and letter A represent the pillars, and white color and number 1 represent excavated areas. Pstress is the average pillar stress; σv is the vertical component of the virgin stress, MPa; and e is the areal extraction ratio. e = B o B o + B P ${\rm{e}}=\frac{{

Origin of superimposed and curved slickenlines in San Miguelito range, Central México [PDF]

, 2013
Interactions between intersecting faults cause local perturbations of the stress field in the vicinity of their intersections. Fault intersections are places of stress accumulation, stress relief and refraction of the stress trajectories; the slip ...

The Mesozoic-Cenozoic tectonic evolution of the New Siberian Islands, NE Russia [PDF]

, 2014
On the New Siberian Islands the rocks of the east Russian Arctic shelf are exposed and allow an assessment of the structural evolution of the region. Tectonic fabrics provide evidence of three palaeo-shortening directions (NE–SW, WNW–ESE and NNW–SSE to ...

Notable Impact of Paleotectonic Stress on Gold Mineralisation in the West Qinling Orogen

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
By applying fuzzy clustering and multiple inverse methods, we systematically processed the data of vein and fault slip in this ore deposit to reveal the transition of orogenic geological environment and paleotectonic stress field. Our research results show two different stress states: the northwest–southeast extensional stress field and the northeast ...

Soil wetting and drying processes influence stone artefact distribution in clay‐rich soils: A case study from Middle Gidley Island in Murujuga, northwest Western Australia

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Soils that contain swelling clay minerals (e.g., montmorillonite) expand and contract during wetting and drying, causing movement within the soil profile. This process, known as argilliturbation, can alter artefact distributions, destroy stratigraphy and complicate the interpretation of archaeological deposits.

Using Terrestrial Organic Matter to Reconstruct the Stable Carbon Isotope Composition of the Atmosphere

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Carbon fluxes to Earth's atmosphere are reflected in the carbon isotope composition of atmospheric CO2 (δ13Catm). δ13Catm is used to track past changes to the global carbon cycle and is a variable in many paleoclimate proxies. However, existing δ13Catm proxy records derived from marine carbonates are relatively low‐resolution prior to the ...

Catalogue of source mechanisms and overview of present-day stress fields in the western region of the Africa–Eurasia plate boundary

Frontiers in Earth Science
Complex deformation is observed along the plate boundary between the Africa and Eurasia plates, this complexity is highlighted by the faulting mechanism changing from normal faulting at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge to thrust and strike-slip faulting in the ...

Subduction Initiation Volcanism Leading to Development of the Talkeetna Arc, Lower Shuyak Formation, Kodiak Archipelago, Alaska

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Our understanding of subduction initiation remains limited by the difficulty of making direct observations of geologically recent examples. In the geologic record, supra‐subduction zone ophiolites are often interpreted to record syn‐initiation slab rollback and upper plate extension. Unfortunately, many ophiolites are decoupled from records of

Mechanochemical Enhancement of Siderite‐To‐Magnetite Conversion in Faults

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract Magnetic phases in fault rocks offer potential “geothermometers” for estimating frictional heating during fault slip. However, the thermochemical kinetics of magnetic minerals subjected to shear deformation in hydrothermal fluids‐conditions typical of natural faults ‐ remains poorly understood, hindering accurate temperature estimates.

Paleosol Development and Trace Fossils in the Upper Triassic Cooper Canyon Formation of the Dockum Group in Andrews County, Texas [PDF]

, 2016
It is unknown whether a relationship exists between paleosol development and the number of burrows in a paleosol. It is also unknown whether a relationship exists between the number of burrows in a paleosol and the diameters of those burrows.
