The Qilian Caledonian orogenic belt on the north margin of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau were formed by convergence and collision of the Alxa terrain, Qilian terrain and Qaidam terrain. The 350-km-long, WNW-ESE-trending North ...

Determining accurate fault slip rates at 1 ka to 1 Ma timescales requires well-constrained palinspastic reconstructions of dateable geomorphic and/or geologic markers. Although general kinematic models have been developed ...

In the context of the European Water Framework Directive, we studied the possible impact of reduced emissions on phosphorus and nitrogen concentrations in a lowland river-lake system (Havel River, Germany). As a prerequisite, ...

The U-Pb and 40Ar/39Ar studies of a unique exposure of crystalline basement along the Jurassic-Early Cretaceous Bangong suture of central Tibet reveal previously unrecognized records of Mesozoic metamorphism, magmatism, ...

Campi Flegrei caldera, west of Naples in southern Italy, has an exceptional documented record of ground deformation from Roman times onwards. Systematic recording began in the nineteenth century. For earlier dates, information ...

Root zone soil moisture is a key variable in many land surface hydrology models. Often, however, there is a mismatch in the spatial scales at which models simulate soil moisture and at which soil moisture is observed. This ...

Recent studies have speculated that the prophetic powers of Pythia, the woman of the Delphic Oracle, at the Temple of Apollo in Greece, were induced by hydrocarbon vapors, specifically ethylene, rising from bedrock fissures ...

The three-dimensional geometry of fluvial channel bodies and valley fills has received much less attention than their internal structure, despite the fact that many subsurface analyses draw upon the geometry of suitable ...

During detachment folding, the relationship between differential uplift and shortening depends on the mechanism of fold growth, such as limb rotation or hinge migration, and may vary over the lifetime of a fold. Thus, ...

As a consequence of plate convergence and continental collision, widespread magmatism occurred in the Malatya-Elazig area of the eastern Tauride belt. Igneous activities in the study area can be subdivided into two separate ...
