Three-dimensional crustal movement and the activities of earthquakes, volcanoes and faults in Hainan Island, China
Abstract Hainan Island is a seismic active region, where Qiongshan M7.5 earthquake occurred in 1605 and several seismic belts appeared in recent years, especially the NS trending seismic belt (NSB) located in the northeast part of the island. Here...

Quantifying thinning and extrusion associated with an oblique subduction zone: An example from the Rosy Finch Shear Zone
Abstract The Rosy Finch Shear Zone (RFSZ) is a NNW trending transpressional zone along the eastern margin of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, and the southernmost shear zone within the Sierra Crest Shear Zone. Dextral shear, resulting from oblique...

Temperatures in shallow marine sediments: Influence of thermal properties, seasonal forcing, and man-made heat sources
Abstract Analytical and 2D finite-element solutions of the heat transfer equation are used to model the temperature evolution in the upper 15m of marine sediment deposits. These calculations comprise realistic, in-situ measured, thermal properties...

On the importance of modelling the internal spatial dynamics of biological cells
Abstract Spatial effects such as cell shape have very often been considered negligible in models of cellular pathways, and many existing simulation infrastructures do not take such effects into consideration. Recent experimental results are...
