UPb zircon geochronology constraints on the ages of the Tananao Schist Belt and timing of orogenic events in Taiwan: Implications for a new tectonic evolution of the South China Block during the Mesozoic
Abstract The Tananao Schist Belt is a low-pressure metamorphic complex comprised of three lithological units of marble, schist formation, and granite, in ascending order of proportion. Previous studies have found that the schist formation was formed ...

The latest geodynamics in Asia: Synthesis of data on volcanic evolution, lithosphere motion, and mantle velocities in the Baikal-Mongolian region
Abstract From a synthesis of data on volcanic evolution, movement of the lithosphere, and mantle velocities in the Baikal-Mongolian region, we propose a comprehensive model for deep dynamics of Asia that assumes an important role of the Gobi,...

Failure of hanging roofs in sublevel caving by shock collision and stress superposition
Abstract Hanging roofs or high hang-ups, a common problem in sublevel caving mining, usually result in a large ore loss and undermine mining safety. This paper analyzed the formation of a hanging roof and showed that increased confining pressure and ...

The effect of the pathway to a two degrees warmer world on the regional temperature change of Europe
Abstract The purpose of this study is to investigate if the pathway to reach a 2 degree warmer world influences the regional climate in Europe at the time of 2 degrees of global warming above the pre-industrial level. We have investigated this using ...

Reconstruction of a 2D stress field around the tip of a sharp material inclusion
Abstract The stress distribution in the vicinity of a sharp material inclusion (SMI) tip exhibits a singular stress behavior. The strength of the stress singularity depends on material properties and geometry. The SMI is a special case of a general...

Comparison of IMU Measurements of Curling Stone Dynamics with a Numerical Model
Abstract Despite almost a century of research, the question of what causes a curling stone to curl (move perpendicular to its initial direction of motion) has no complete answer. Many hypotheses have been formulated, but none has been able to...
