Present-Day Heat Flow, Thermal History, and Tectonic Subsidenceof the Jianghan Basin

Present-day heat flow model of Mars

Until the acquisition of in-situ measurements, the study of the present-day heat flow of Mars must rely on indirect methods, mainly based on the relation between the thermal state of the lithosphere and its mechanical strength, or on theoretical models of internal evolution. Here, we present a first-order global model for the present-day surface heat flow for Mars, based on the radiogenic heat ...

Present-Day Stress Field of the Northern Perth Basin, Australia

Analyzing the 60-day low flow from upstream to downstream in the Karkeh Basin

Knowing how the low flow changes upstream and its trend provides valuable information on water resources management, water rights, and the improvement of crop patterns. It also helps to identify suitable areas for water control management along the river from water resources management perspective. In addition to economic issues, the preservation of river ecosystems is an important matter that ...

Uncovering the genetic history of the present-day Greenlandic population.

Because of past limitations in samples and genotyping technologies, important questions about the history of the present-day Greenlandic population remain unanswered. In an effort to answer these questions and in general investigate the genetic history of the Greenlandic population, we analyzed ∼200,000 SNPs from more than 10% of the adult Greenlandic population (n = 4,674). We found that recen...
