On the evolution of elastic properties during laboratory stick-slip experiments spanning the transition from slow slip to dynamic rupture [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The physical mechanisms governing slow earthquakes remain unknown, as does the relationship between slow and regular earthquakes. To investigate the mechanism(s) of slow earthquakes and related quasi-dynamic modes of fault slip we performed laboratory ...

Assessing Earthquake-Induced Tree Mortality in Temperate Forest Ecosystems: A Case Study from Wenchuan, China

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2016
Earthquakes can produce significant tree mortality, and consequently affect regional carbon dynamics. Unfortunately, detailed studies quantifying the influence of earthquake on forest mortality are currently rare. The committed forest biomass carbon loss

Focal Mechanism Solutions of the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake sequence from P-wave polarities and SH/P amplitude ratios: new results and implications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, a major intraplate earthquake with Mw 7.9, occurred on the slowly deforming Longmenshan fault. To better understand the causes of this devastating earthquake, we need knowledge of the regional stress field and the underlying

Cost-Efficient Data Backup for Data Center Networks against {\epsilon}-Time Early Warning Disaster

open access: yes, 2016
Data backup in data center networks (DCNs) is critical to minimize the data loss under disaster. This paper considers the cost-efficient data backup for DCNs against a disaster with $\varepsilon$ early warning time. Given geo-distributed DCNs and such a $

Grid structures in Wenchuan earthquake

open access: yes, 2009
In 2008, an earthquake with magnitude 8.0 happened in Southwest China. Several grid structures damaged or collapsed in this earthquake. Through investigation in the earthquake hit area, documents and precious pictures of these damaged grid structures were collected.
