The variation of frequency-dependent seismic wave attenuation with direction (attenuation anisotropy) contains additional information to that contained in velocity anisotropy. In particular, it has the potential to distinguish ...

The formation of late-stage veins can yield valuable information about the movement and composition of fluids during uplift and exhumation of high-pressure terranes. Albite veins are especially suited to this purpose because ...

Themetavolcanic rocks in the Gorzów Wielkopolski area (NWPoland) are andesite-basalts and andesites derived from contaminated within-plate subalkaline basalt melts. K-Ar dating of primary K-feldspar yields an extrusion age ...

Gravel waves have been observed from many modern submarine fans. However, the internal organization and formative processes of gravel waves are still controversial, because features analogous to gravel waves seen on outcrops ...

We performed a series of triaxial compressive creep experiments at two different water fugacities to investigate the effect of water on the creep strength of a natural clinopyroxenite. Samples were deformed under water-saturated ...

Stressed water-infiltrated silica rocks may deform by pervasive pressure solution transfer (PPST), which involves dissolution of the grain-to-grain contacts, transport by diffusion of the solute, and precipitation on the ...

To better understand the tectonic evolution of South China Block (SCB) in response to the India-Asia collision, we present new paleomagnetic results from Late Cretaceous and Paleogene red bed formations of the Hengyang ...

The coda of seismic waves consists of that part of the signal after the directly arriving phases. In a finite medium, or in one that is strongly heterogeneous, the coda is dominated by waves which have repeatedly sampled ...

A three-dimensional (3-D) P wave velocity model is developed for the crust and uppermost mantle of China and the surrounding area by applying the tomography method of Zhao et al. using 500,000 high-quality P wave first ...

In southern and central Alaska the subduction and active volcanism of the Aleutian subduction zone give way to a broad plate boundary zone with mountain building and strike-slip faulting, where the Yakutat terrane joins ...
