The majority of formulae for predicting in-channel mixing by longitudinal dispersion are based on empirical evidence from medium to large rivers, whereas small creeks and streams are under-represented despite their hydrological and ecological importa...
E-twinning is the dominant mechanism of plastic deformation of calcite at low temperature (<300 °C), and in most limestones, e-twins are, at the crystal scale, the dominant microstructures [...]
The objective of this work is to analyze the spatial-temporal features of the trends in the frequency and amount of erosion-hazardous precipitation in the European part of Russia (EPR) for the period 1966–2020, as a reflection of the influence...
Gravitational mass movements such as rockfalls, landslides, rock avalanches, or debris flows are increasingly endangering settlement areas and infrastructure facilities in the Alpine region as a result of climate change. An essential component of cou...
The coastal area of the Kavala district, Northern Greece, is characterized by minerals enriched in rare earth elements (REE). The present study focuses on the mineralogy of the black sands from six different locations and the comprehensive mineral ch...
Migration of dissolved salts from natural (cryopeg brines, seawater, etc.), or artificial sources can destabilize intrapermafrost gas hydrates. Salt transport patterns vary as a function of gas pressure, temperature, salinity, etc. The sensitivity of...
Pompeii Archaeological Park is the best laboratory for the study of the seismic site effects on cultural heritage: the ancient site was destroyed and buried by the 79 AD Vesuvian eruption and, furthermore, it was also affected by the 62–63 AD s...
Like many other lakes in the world, the interconnected Abaya and Chamo lakes in the Southern Main Ethiopian Rift are affected by rapid sediment accumulation. Although land degradation is a well-known issue in this part of the African continent, the m...
This study examines the mineralogy, texture, and weathering grades of intrusive igneous rocks from northern Pakistan, as well as their impacts on physical and strength properties. In comparison to felsic rocks, mafic and intermediate rocks have lower...
Sedimentary systems developed in small (<1 km2) mountain lacustrine basins represent high-resolution geological archives, able to record subtle climatic and tectonic signatures over historical times. The studied example from the Mt. Ragola ophioli...
We present initial rock magnetic results for both lava flows and lapilli produced by the 2021 eruption of the Cumbre Vieja, La Palma (Canary Islands). Samples were taken during the eruption to minimize early alteration and weathering of the rocks and...
Seismic interferometry is often proposed as a cost-efficient technique for reservoir monitoring including CO2 sequestration due to its low cost and environmental advantages over active source imaging. Although many studies have demonstrated the abili...
When conducting numerical upscaling, either for a fractured or a porous medium, it is important to account for anisotropy because in general, the resulting upscaled conductivity is anisotropic. Measurements made at different scales also demonstrate t...
Faut gouge forms at the core of the fault as the result of a slip in the upper brittle crust. Therefore, the deformation mechanisms and conditions under which the fault gouge was formed can document the stages of fault movement in the crust. We carri...
At the hydrothermal stage, volcanoes are affected by internal and external processes that control their fumarolic and eruptive activity. Monitoring hydrothermal activity is challenging given the diverse nature of the processes accounting for deeper m...
The El Salvador Fault Zone (ESFZ) is part of the Central American Volcanic Arc and accommodates the oblique separation movement between the forearc sliver and the Chortis block (Caribbean Plate). In this work, a triclinic transtension model was appli...
Multi-parameter observations, powerful for the study of lithosphere–atmosphere–ionosphere coupling (LAIC), have been performed for a recent Tokyo earthquake (EQ) with a moderate magnitude (M = 5.9) and rather larger depth (~70 km) on 7 Oc...
Geoheritage is a geotourism resource that could lead to the sustainable development of society, and could contribute to information on geological and geomorphological characteristics, education, public awareness on geoconservation, and landscape prot...
In recent years, it has become a common understanding among researchers that one of the significant agents for forming a variety of submarine geomorphologies is turbidity currents that travel long distances, so-called long-runout turbidity currents....
The generalized Hoek-Brown (GHB) failure criterion can estimate the rock mass parameters required for rock mechanics–related analyses such as numerical modeling in geomechanics. The determination of GHB parameters has been developed in the fiel...
Salt migration may be another reason why pore-gas hydrates dissociate in permafrost, besides pressure and temperature changes. Temperature variations in frozen hydrate-saturated sediments interacting with a NaCl solution have been studied experimenta...
Flood risk in Italy is a key aspect for the administrative authorities, from the national to the local level. This is especially true in Northern Italy, where the Po River, the most important river of the peninsula, and its river basin are located. I...
We are impressed with the detailed work Mustoe and Beard [...]
The distinctive features and fossil content of some caves from eastern Sicily (San Teodoro, Donnavilla, Fulco, Taormina, Tremilia, Spinagallo), altogether spanning from the middle Pleistocene until the beginning of the Holocene, are discussed. Althou...
Barhal Valley belongs to the Çoruh Valley System in the Kaçkar Mountains of northeastern Anatolia. This 13 km long valley is located to the south of the main weather divide and to the east of Mt. Kaçkar, with the highest peak of...
This paper focuses on the study of the Vögelsberg landslide located in the municipality of Wattens (Tyrol, Austria), which reactivated in 2016, causing damages to nearby buildings and infrastructures. Since the date of reactivation, a modern mon...
To estimate the hazard posed by rock slopes, it is essential to determine the overall stability and potential detachment volume. This is mostly solved using numerical methods together with the strength reduction method (SRM). Many calculation program...
