Environmental Impact of Silicic Magmatism in Large Igneous Province Events
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

EVALUATION OF EARTHQUAKE RECURRENCE ON THE NORTHERN ANATOLIAN FAULT OF ASIA MINOR AND OF TSUNAMI GENERATION IN THE SEA OF MARMARA – Review of the 17 August 1999 Earthquake and Tsunami. [PDF]
The North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ) is the most prominent active fault system in Northwestern Turkey. It is a major fracture that traverses the Northern part of Asia Minor and marks the boundary between the Anatolian tectonic plate and the larger ...

EVALUATION OF THE IMPACT OF MAJOR EARTHQUAKES ON EXCITING LONG PERIOD FREE-EARTH LITHOSPHERIC OSCILLATIONS, ATMOSPHERIC-IONOSPHERIC PERTRUBATIONS, AND FAR-FIELD TSUNAMI-LIKE WATER LEVEL FLUCTUATIONS [PDF]
The whole Earth resonates like a bell with normal modes of resonance at distinct frequencies. When extremely large earthquakes strike, the Earth’s free oscillations are excited.

SEISMOTECTONICS AND MECHANISMS OF TSUNAMI GENERATION ALONG ACTIVE BOUNDARIES OF YOUNG, MARGINAL SEA BASINS AND SPREADING RIDGES OF THE SOLOMON ISLANDS REGION – Case Study: The Earthquake and Tsunami of 1 April 2007 in the Solomon Islands [PDF]
The Solomon Islands region is characterized by high seismic activity. During the last 100 years there have been numerous strong earthquakes with periodic variation of recurrence.

Shallow very-low-frequency earthquakes accompany slow slip events in the Nankai subduction zone
Slow earthquakes are now increasingly recognised to occur at plate boundaries globally. Here, the authors examine seafloor observational data from the Nankai trough and find that very-low-frequency events and slow-slip events frequently occur together ...

EVALUATION OF TSUNAMI SOURCE MECHANISMS ALONG THE TONGA TRENCH AND VOLCANIC ARC – Case Study: Earthquake and Tsunami of 29 September 2009 [PDF]
The present report provides an evaluation of the tectonics of the upper part of the Tonga Trench and Volcanic Arc Region. The overall tectonics of the region are dominated by the convergence of the Pacific and Australia plates.

Tsunami Damage Detection with Remote Sensing: A Review
Tsunamis are rare events compared with the other natural disasters, but once it happens, it can be extremely devastating to the coastal communities. Extensive inland penetration of tsunamis may cause the difficulties of understanding its impact in the ...

THE 326 BC EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI IN THE NORTHERN ARABIAN SEA - IMPACT ON THE FLEET OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT [PDF]
Ancient Greek and Indian texts support that destructive sea waves along the Makran coast in the northern Arabian Sea were responsible for the partial destruction of Alexander the Great’s fleet in 326 BC.

This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.
