Disappearing ink: How pseudotachylytes are lost from the rock record
Abstract Melt-origin pseudotachylytes are the most widely accepted feature recording earthquake slip in the fault rock record. However, reports of pseudotachylytes are rare compared to the frequency and distribution of earthquakes in active faults,...

Three-dimensional numerical models of flat slab subduction and the Denali fault driving deformation in south-central Alaska
Abstract Early theories of plate tectonics assumed plates were rigid with deformation limited to within a few tens of kilometers of the plate boundary. However, observations indicate most continental plates defy such rigid behavior with deformation...

Prediction of unknown deep foundation lengths using the Hilbert Huang Transform (HHT)
Abstract Prediction of unknown deep foundation embedment depth is a great deal nowadays, especially in case of upgrading or rehabilitation of old structures. Many old bridges and marine or pier structures in the United States are established using...

Development and review of Euro 5 passenger car emission factors based on experimental results over various driving cycles
Abstract The emissions of CO2 and regulated pollutants (NOx, HC, CO, PM) of thirteen Euro 5 compliant passenger cars (seven gasoline, six Diesel) were measured on a chassis dynamometer. The vehicles were driven repeatedly over the European...

Community Activities Around Protected Areas and the Impacts on the Environment at Krau Wildlife Reserve, Malaysia
Abstract Protected Areas must be planned and managed for ecosystem and communities. Studies have proven that land use activities surrounding the PAs could increase the pressure to the latter. This study is to identify the land use activities carried ...

Coupling Wind Dynamics into a DDDAS Forest Fire Propagation Prediction System
Abstract Natural hazards are significant problems that every year cause important loses around the world. A good prediction of the behavior of the hazards is a crucial issue to fight against them and to minimize the damages. The models that...

Effect of HCH on the Jiaozhou Bay Waters-the Transfer Laws of HCH
Abstract By investigation data in Jiaozhou bay waters from 1979 to 1986(absent of 1980), in spacial scale, by the analysis of the annual dataset, from the view of the content, and the horizontal, vertical and seasonal distributions of HCH, the study ...

Geodynamics implication of GPS and satellite altimeter and gravity observations to the Eastern Mediterranean
Abstract The Eastern Mediterranean region is one of the interested regions from both tectonic and seismic point of views. It shows an active geologic structure attributed to the tectonic movement of the African and Eurasian plates from one side and...

Application of sustainable foaming agents to control the mobility of carbon dioxide in enhanced oil recovery
Abstract Carbon dioxide (CO2) flooding is a conventional process in which the CO2 is injected into the oil reservoir to increase the quantity of extracting oil. This process also controls the amount of released CO2 as a greenhouse gas in the...

Kelvin wave propagation along straight boundaries in C-grid finite-difference models
Abstract Discrete solutions for the propagation of coastally-trapped Kelvin waves are studied, using a second-order finite-difference staggered grid formulation that is widely used in geophysical fluid dynamics (the Arakawa C-grid). The fundamental...

Predictive habitat modelling of humpback (Megaptera novaeangliae) and Antarctic minke (Balaenoptera bonaerensis) whales in the Southern Ocean as a planning tool for seismic surveys
Abstract Seismic surveys are frequently a matter of concern regarding their potentially negative impacts on marine mammals. In the Southern Ocean, which provides a critical habitat for several endangered cetacean species, seismic research activities ...
