Quaternary rupture of a crustal fault beneath Victoria, British Columbia, Canada [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The seismic potential of crustal faults within the forearc of the northern Cascadia subduction zone in British Columbia has remained elusive, despite the recognition of recent seismic activity on nearby fault systems within the Juan de Fuca Strait.

Tracking the Dynamics of human Colonisation and Adaptation in Central Vanuatu: Preliminary Results From Excavation and Survey at Pangpang, East Efate

open access: yesArchaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In October 2022 an extensive archaeological landscape was identified by staff of the Vanuatu Cultural Centre at Pangpang on the east coast of Efate Island in central Vanuatu. It included midden deposits on the banks of the Pangpang River near the sea at Forari Bay where Lapita and Early Erueti‐style pottery sherds were recovered.

TECTONOPHYSICAL CRITERIA FOR FORECASTING THE LOCATIONS OF QUARTZ CRYSTAL DEPOSITS (CASE OF SUBPOLAR URAL)

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2020
Spatial reconstruction of tectonic stresses within the Subpolar Ural quartz crystal-containing province was conducted by the kinematic method [Gushchenko, 1973, 1979] based on the main indicators of tectonic stresses on slickensides. Local stress states (

In situ stress characteristics of the NE Sichuan basin based on acoustic emission test and imaging logging

open access: yesSN Applied Sciences, 2021
This study presents the distribution rule of in situ stress in the northeast Sichuan basin and its relationship with fracture. Sixty-seven sets of core samples of 21 Wells from the terrigenous clastic rock formation (Shaximiao, Qianfoya, Xujiahe) and ...

Geo-safety challenges against the site selection of engineering projects in the eastern Himalayan syntaxis area

open access: yesDizhi lixue xuebao, 2022
The eastern Himalayan syntaxis is one of the regions having the most intense tectonic activities, the most complex geological conditions, and the most frequent geohazards in the world.

Late Cenozoic tectonic stress fields of the Mongolian microplate

open access: yesComptes Rendus. Géoscience, 2012
The article deals with the Late Cenozoic fault tectonics and crustal stress state in the Mongolian block (Central and West Mongolia). An analysis was made of the stress field reconstructions, tectonic deformations in active fault zones of the central part of the block (Khangai dome), adjacent uplifts, and intermountain basins, i.e., Mongolian Altai ...

Gravity-flow dominated sedimentation on the Buda paleoslope (Hungary): Record of Late Eocene continental escape of the Bakony unit [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
The Upper Eocene sequence of the Buda Hills consists of fluvial and shallow marine conglomerates, sandstones, bioclastic shallow-water limestone, marlstone and pelagic Globigerina marl.

Electro-Magnetic Earthquake Bursts and Critical Rupture of Peroxy Bond Networks in Rocks

open access: yes, 2006
We propose a mechanism for the low frequency electromagnetic emissions and other electromagnetic phenomena which have been associated with earthquakes. The mechanism combines the critical earthquake concept and the concept of crust acting as a charging ...

Tectonic significance of changes in post-subduction Pliocene-Quaternary magmatism in the south east part of the Carpathian-Pannonian Region [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The south-eastern part of the Carpathian–Pannonian region records the cessation of convergence between the European platform/Moesia and the Tisza–Dacia microplate.

Injuries in deep time: interpreting competitive behaviours in extinct reptiles via palaeopathology

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For over a century, palaeopathology has been used as a tool for understanding evolution, disease in past communities and populations, and to interpret behaviour of extinct taxa. Physical traumas in particular have frequently been the justification for interpretations about aggressive and even competitive behaviours in extinct taxa.
