The initiation and development of fractures in rocks is the key part of many problems from academic to industrial, such as faulting, folding, rock mass engineering, reservoir characterization, etc. Conventional ways of evaluating the…
The mixing of magmas is a fundamental process in the Earth system causing extreme compositional variations in igneous rocks. This process can develop with different intensities both in space and time, making the interpretation of…
Reservoir models are numerical representations of the subsurface petrophysical properties such as porosity, volume of minerals and fluid saturations. These are often derived from elastic models inferred from seismic inversion in a two-step…
During an earthquake, part of the released elastic strain energy is dissipated within the slip zone by frictional and fracturing processes, the rest being radiated away via elastic waves. Frictional heating thus plays a crucial role in the…
Quantitative interpretation of the tidal response of water levels measured in wells has long been made either with a model for perfectly confined aquifers or with a model for purely unconfined aquifers. However, many aquifers may be neither…
Large continental earthquakes activate multiple faults in a complex fault system, dynamically inducing co-seismic damage around them. The 2016 Mw 7.8 Kaikoura earthquake in the northern South Island of New Zealand has been reported as one…
Friction and fault surface evolution are critical aspects in earthquake studies. We present the preliminary result from a novel experimental approach that combines rotary shear testing with X-ray micro-computed tomography (${\mu}$CT)…
A megathrust subduction earthquake (Mw7.8) struck the coast of Ecuador on April 16th, 2016 at 23h58 UTC. This earthquake is one of the best-recorded megathrust events up to date. Besides the mainshock, two large aftershocks have been…
Geochemical data provide key information on the timing of accretion and on the prevailing physical conditions during core/mantle differentiation. However, their interpretation depends critically on the efficiency of metal/silicate chemical…
A correct description and quantification of the geochemical behaviour of REE+Y (rare earth elements and Y) and HFSE (high field strength elements) is a key requirement for modelling petrological and volcanological aspects of magma dynamics.…
Simultaneous source seismic acquisition is an efficient method of seismic surveying that can considerably reduce the cost of high density seismic acquisition. The method results in overlapping records, or interference, that must be removed…
We developed a new strategy for Disaster Risk Reduction for gravitational slope failure: We propose a simple method for real-time early warning of gravity-driven failures that considers and exploits both the heterogeneity of natural media…
The aim of this study is to investigate the presence of potential aquifer layers that would be used as a source of clean water for residents in Cilongok sub-district. We conducted a ground water potential survey at two locations in the…
Using first-principles density functional theory (DFT), we studied the issue of water incorporation in iron bearing wadsleyite (Mg$_2$SiO$_4$)mineral at transition zone pressures and temperature under varying conditions of vacancy…
The onset of rapid slip along initially quiescent frictional interfaces, the process of `earthquake nucleation', and dissipative spatiotemporal slippage dynamics play important roles in a broad range of physical systems. Here we first show…
Mariana trench is the deepest place on the Earth. It crosses four tectonic plates of the Pacific Ocean: Mariana, Caroline, Pacific and Philippine. The formation of the trench is caused by the complex interconnection of various environmental…
The aim of this work is to identify main impact factors affecting variations in the geomorphology of the Mariana Trench which is the deepest place of the Earth, located in the west Pacific Ocean: steepness angle and structure of the…
The work provides possible mechanisms of physics of thunderstorm clouds. We tried to consider the problems of the hail clouds in a completely different view. The article is based on the latest scientific achievement of modern theoretical…
Predicting tsunami impacts at remote coasts largely relies on tsunami en-route measurements in an open ocean. In this work, these measurements are used to generate instant tsunami predictions in deep water and near the coast. The…
The purpose of this work is to generalize the frozen Gaussian approximation (FGA) theory to solve the 3-D elastic wave equation and use it as the forward modeling tool for seismic tomography with high-frequency data. FGA has been previously…
