Age, distribution and style of deformation in Alaska north of 60°N: Implications for assembly of Alaska
Abstract The structural architecture of Alaska is the product of a complex history of deformation along both the Cordilleran and Arctic margins of North America involving oceanic plates, subduction zones and strike-slip faults and with continental...

Mantle melting versus mantle metasomatism – “The chicken or the egg” dilemma
Abstract Most eclogitic mantle xenoliths brought to the surface exhibit a certain degree of enrichment with incompatible elements, usually attributed to the effect of mantle metasomatism by a putative metasomatic fluid. The metasomatic overprint is...

Flat Plate Collectors with Thermochromic Absorber Coatings to Reduce Loads During Stagnation
Abstract Thermochromic absorber coatings, which switch their emissivity for thermal radiation depending on temperature, are developed to reduce the stagnation temperature of solar thermal collectors: In the operating range of the collector, the...

Optimal Operation of a Network of Multi-purpose Reservoir: A Review
Abstract Due to the effects of climate change and population growth, reservoirs play a more and more important role in water resources management. The management of a multi-reservoir system is complex due to the curse of dimensionalities,...

Source Transformation of C++ Codes for Compatibility with Operator Overloading
Abstract In C++, new features and semantics can be added to an existing software package without sweeping code changes by introducing a user-defined type using operator overloading. This approach is used, for example, to add capabilities such as...

Catchment-scale High-resolution Flash Flood Simulation Using the GPU-based Technology
Abstract A number of studies have predicted more frequent and intensive storms as a result of climate change in UK and other parts of the world, which may consequently cause more hazardous flash floods in steep catchments of small to medium size...

Effects of in situ stress measurement uncertainties on assessment of predicted seismic activity and risk associated with a hypothetical industrial-scale geologic CO2 sequestration operation
Abstract Carbon capture and storage (CCS) in geologic formations has been recognized as a promising option for reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from large stationary sources. However, the pressure buildup inside the storage formation can...

Characteristics and inter-annual changes in temperature, salinity and density distribution in the Gulf of Riga
Summary Available CTD profiles from the Gulf of Riga (May–August, 1993–2012) were analyzed to study inter-annual and long-term changes in temperature, salinity and density in relation to river runoff and atmospheric forcing (e.g. Baltic Sea Index)....
