Normal fault earthquakes or graviquakes [PDF]

, 2015
Earthquakes are dissipation of energy throughout elastic waves. Canonically is the elastic energy accumulated during the interseismic period. However, in crustal extensional settings, gravity is the main energy source for hangingwall fault collapsing ...

Climate stability drives multidimensional nestedness of amphibian assemblages in a Chinese sky island system

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The nested subset pattern (nestedness) has been widely used to explain species distributions in island and fragmented systems. Mountain sky islands serve as critical natural laboratories for understanding the evolutionary consequences of geographic isolation and climate

Bouguer anomalies of the NW Iberian continental margin and the adjacent abyssal plains

Journal of Maps, 2019
The NW Iberian continental margin has a complex structure, resulting from the succession of several rifting episodes close to a ridge triple junction, and a superimposed partial tectonic inversion stage.

Outsmarting sanctions

American Ethnologist, EarlyView.
Abstract In 2012 the UN Security Council and the European Union bolstered US economic sanctions on Iran, disembedding the country's economy from financial markets. Since then, the sanctions have radically devalued Iran's currency, leading Iranians to seek a viable standard of value elsewhere. They have done so through ghachagh (fugitive) configurations

Post mid-Cretaceous inversion tectonics in the Danish Central Graben – regionally synchronous tectonic events? [PDF]

Bulletin of the Geological Society of Denmark, 2002
Structural analysis of the Upper Cretaceous to Palaeogene succession in the Danish Central Graben suggests continuous inversion heralded in the Late Hauterivian and continuing into Palaeogene times. The following phases of increased intensity are identified: 1) latest Santonian, 2) Mid Campanian, 3) late Maastrichtian, 4) Late Paleocene – Eocene, and 5)

Plastid and nuclear phylogenomics of Cyphostemma (Vitaceae) provide new insights into genome size evolution across sub‐Saharan Africa

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Some African Cyphostemma species evolved much larger genomes as they adapted to dry, rocky habitats. These expansions are linked to succulent traits and specialization on nutrient‐rich limestone outcrops. The findings show how climate‐driven aridification shaped plant evolution and highlight broader genome‐environment patterns across flowering plants ...

Vertical profiling of shock attenuation at the Rochechouart impact structure, France

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Rochechouart, south‐west France, is a complex impact structure. Here, we present the first report of shock barometry of quartz from what are likely parautochthonous basement units at depth, based on samples from the 2017 C.I.R.I.R drilling campaign. The crystallographic orientations of 725 sets of PDFs in 512 quartz grains in samples from four

Spherical Gravity Inversion Reveals Crustal Structure and Microplate Tectonics in the Caribbean Sea

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
As a convergent zone of multiple plates, the Caribbean Sea and its adjacent areas have experienced a complex tectonic evolution process and are characterized by prominent microplate development.
