Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.The Bilaspur region lies in a highly seismic zone, requiring special attention for infrastructure development like tunnel construction. Rock strength in the area is low, posing challenges for stable tunnel design. RMR values range from 21 to 30, categorizing the rock mass as Poor, requiring robust support measures.

Low-temperature thermochronology and thermokinematic modeling of deformation, exhumation, and development of topography in the central Southern Alps, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2009 Apatite and zircon (U-Th)/He and fission track ages were obtained from ridge transects across the central Southern Alps, New Zealand. Interpretation of local profiles is difficult because relationships between ages and topography or local faults are ...

IV.—On Explosive Slickensides [PDF]
Geological Magazine, 1887 During a recent examination of the lead-mines of Derbyshire, I was interested in some accounts of explosions which had taken place, which were not due either to any material used by the workmen or to fire-damp. Though at first inclined to believe that the accounts were exaggerated, I soon found that not only was the evidence of such explosions having ...

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.Eighteen boreholes in Colombia's Tropical Andes reveal elevation‐controlled Critical Zone architecture. Four‐layer weathering profiles with thick saprolite (≤48 m) form at high elevations (>1,100 m) where dense fracturing enhances permeability. Low‐elevation boreholes lack saprolite despite high fracture density, demonstrating fracturing's dual role as

Physical Disintegration Characterization of Mudrocks Subjected to Slaking Exposure and Immersion Tests [PDF]
, 2010 DOI: 10.17014/ijog.v5i4.105In order to gain insights into the detailed physical disintegration characteristics of various types of mudrock, a series of static slaking exposure and immersion tests were carefully carried out in this study.

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 2, March/April 2026.Abstract Complex interactions between ecological and environmental factors govern soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil inorganic carbon (SIC) stocks across landscapes. In gilgai‐bearing Vertisols, submeter differences in water availability result in micro‐spatial variability in soil properties.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.Abstract Understanding the hydro‐mechanical behavior of faults in clay‐rich formations is essential for earthquake mechanics and underground storage applications. We conducted fully hydro‐mechanically coupled triaxial tests on preserved fault material from scaly clay sections of the Opalinus Clay formation.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Salt's inherent weakness and capacity for ductile deformation create significant mechanical contrasts that locally perturb the stress field in surrounding rocks, often leading to deviations from regional tectonic stresses. Variations in local stress are a critical factor for wellbore stability, seal integrity, and fluid flow in subsurface ...

Description and modeling of the Jiddat al Harasis 091 L5 strewn field
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 107-121, January 2026.Abstract With a size of 51.2 × 7.2 km, the 10.9 ± 1.7 ka old Jiddat al Harasis 091 L5 chondrite strewn field is the largest known in Oman. It consists of more than 700 meteorites with a total mass of >4.5 tons from which the largest six stones of >100 kg to 1.5 tons make up two thirds of the total mass.

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 1, Page 147-185, January 2026.ABSTRACT Mongolia's Eastern and Western Gobi Basins preserve a globally significant record of Cretaceous terrestrial vertebrates, yet their biostratigraphic correlations are complicated by a complex geological history. The Eastern Gobi Basin, a northeast‐southwest trending fault‐bounded rift system, includes several minor sub‐basins with distinct ...
