Structural observations and stratigraphic variability in Jurassic strata, Upheaval Dome, Canyonlands National Park, Utah, USA
… ends of the geologic spectrum, one proposing long-term deformation of the structure, while the other proposes a catastrophic meteorite impact. (1) The seminal paper by Jackson et al. (1998) suggests that Upheaval Dome was created due to the growth and subsequent pinch-off of a salt diapir …

Investigation of Elastic Parameters and Pavement Modeling With Eps Geofoam
… of these values in models led to unreasonable long term deformation predictions that contradicted with field observations. Tests on small samples are prone to edge effects. Edge effects in turn result in underestimation of input elastic parameters. Alternative tests and sensing systems were …

Design and performance of cost-effective ultra high performance concrete for bridge deck overlays
… can offer shorter traffic closures and prolong the service life of the pavement. The UHPC was optimized using supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), proper combinations of sands, and adequate selection of fiber types and contents. Packing density studies included paste, sand, and …

Late Cenozoic Exhumation in a Transpressional Setting: Fairweather Range, Alaska
Deformation in southern Alaska is controlled by the accretion and partial subduction of the Yakutat terrane as margin-parallel motion transitions to subduction. Recent studies have shown that deformation in the St. Elias orogen, at the northern end of the terrane, accommodates a large portion of …

Processing strategies optimization and error mitigation of geodetic measurements
… and finite element modeling to studying crustal deformation and other processes. In particular, it focuses on optimizing standard processing strategies, reducing the noise in the measurements and mitigating the effects of external processes in order to extract the signal of interest. Geodetic …

Tectonic evolution of the Corinth Rift
… constraints on the underlying lithospheric deformation mechanisms, level of seismic hazard and location of likely hydrocarbon traps. The Corinth rift in central Greece is one of the few examples that has experienced a short extensional history (< 5 Myr), has a relatively well–known pre–rift …

Modeling of the great earthquake seismic cycles
… the scientific community, indicating that the deformation processes that precede and follow great megathrust earthquakes remain enigmatic. During these phases before and after the earthquake a combination of multi-scale complex processes are acting simultaneously: Stresses built up by long-term …
