Restoration approaches such as dam removal and channel reconstruction have moved beyond the realm of small streams and are being applied to larger rivers. This development has substantial economic ...
We investigate different aspects concerning the application of swarm intelligence optimization to the inversion of Scholte-wave phase-slowness frequency (p–f) spectra with respect to shear wave v...
This study provides new constraints on the upper-mantle structure from western Greece to central Anatolia using seismic data of permanent broad-band networks recently installed in Greece and Turkey...
In a synthetic tomographic experiment, we succeeded to recover an idealized narrow mantle plume reaching deep into the lower mantle by using a misfit based on the instantaneous phase difference. A ...
We determined P- and S-wave tomography and P-wave anisotropic structure of the Alaska subduction zone using 259 283 P- and 73 817 S-wave arrival times from 7268 local shallow and intermediate-depth...
The Xunhua, Guide and Tongren intermontane basin system in the NE Tibetan Plateau, situated near the Xining basin to the N and the Linxia basin to the E, is bounded by thrust fault-controlled range...
Understanding the relationships between sedimentation, tectonics and magmatism is crucial to defining the evolution of orogens and convergent plate boundaries. Here, we consider the lithostratigrap...
The Crotone Basin was generated in the late Cenozoic as a forearc basin of the Ionian arc-trench system. New data are gained through detailed field mapping, high-resolution stratigraphic analysis o...
Regionalization is a fundamental task for transferring hydrological information from gaged to ungaged catchments. This study employs several soft and hard clustering approaches for regionalization ...
This paper presents a new inversion method for the interpretation of 2D magnetic anomaly data, which uses the combination of the analytic signal and its total gradient to estimate the depth and the...
This work investigates the behavior of the sunspot number and Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) signal recorded in the tree ring time series for three different locations in Brazil: Humaitá in Amaz...
Sediment deposited by the Tohoku tsunami of March 11, 2011 in the Southern Kurils (Kunashir, Shikotan, Zeleniy, Yuri, Tanfiliev islands) was radically different from sedimentation during local stro...
We explore fractal properties of two observed seismicity distributions prior to the 2003 Mw 7.4 Colima, Mexico and 1992 Mw 7.3 Landers, USA earthquakes, together with several mathematical fractal d...
Japan’s 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake and the accompanying tsunami have reminded us of the potential tsunami hazards from the Manila and Ryukyu trenches to the South China and East China Seas. Stati...
Romania is an earthquake prone area with a few destructive earthquakes per century. The National Institute for Earth Physics carries out the seismic survey of Romania through the Romanian National ...
