Active tectonics and earthquake hazards in continental mountain ranges and foreland basins
… large earthquakes, and the underlying geological structure amplifies the resulting ground shaking. The aim of this dissertation is to investigate the regional-scale controls on earthquake ground motions and seismic hazard in these settings. The first part of this dissertation describes models of …

Joint modeling receiver functions and autocorrelograms to estimate crustal structure in the presence of deep sediments.
… use large, distant earthquakes to image local structure. They record the interactions of teleseismic P waves with impedance contrasts, such as the Moho and sediment-basement interface, which generate conversions of P type to S type energy. Typically, receiver functions are used to determine …

Disordered systems and quantum algorithms: from spin glasses to neural networks
… annealing to efficiently sample low-energy basins, cooling the ensemble with a digital cooling technique. It approaches exact ground states of large spin glasses with a scaling advantage—achieving computational complexity of 2 N/𝜷 with 𝜷=10³ compared to 𝜷=10² in the best classical methods we …

Tectonic evolution of the Corinth Rift
… (< 5 Myr), has a relatively well–known pre–rift structure, is experiencing pure extension, and is located in a fluctuating marine–lacustrine setting producing characteristic cyclical stratigraphy. Traditionally, the rift has been described as an asymmetric half–graben controlled by N–dipping …

Improved Understanding of The 2018 Mw7.5 Palu Earthquake Using Local Earthquake Tomography and Numerical Ground Motion Simulation
… This thesis investigates the regional velocity structure of Central Sulawesi, its correlation with geological features and its relationship to the rupture of 2018 Palu earthquake. The study incorporates local earthquake tomography (LET) and long-period ground motion simulations using …

Depositional constraints on lacustrine carbonates from the Winnemucca Dry Lake Basin, Nevada, USA
… of which are greatly affected by individual lake basin attributes such as basin size and physiography, bedrock geology, catchment vegetation, hydroclimate, and resident biota. Because of this high degree of variability in lacustrine depositional environments, lacustrine carbonate rocks exhibit …

The geothermal potential of Luxembourg
… are required. As a first step, the geology and basin structure of the Mesozoic Trier–Luxembourg Basin (TLB) is reviewed and updated using recently published information on the geology and structures as well as borehole data available in Luxembourg and the adjoining regions. A Bouguer map is used …
