The Deforestation of the Upper Awatere Catchment, Inland Kaikoura Range, Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand
Pollen analysis of a high altitude bog (Winterton Bog) and an alluvial soil sequence in the upper Awatere catchment on the western flanks of the Inland Kaikoura Range, and radiocarbon dates on wood and charcoal from the Marlborough region, have established a Holocene (post 10 000 years B.P.) vegetation history for this area. The upper slopes of the catchment were almost entirely clad in Podocar...
متن کاملFractal dimension and earthquake frequency-magnitude distribution in the North of Central-East Iran Blocks (NCEIB)
The Gutenberg–Richter parameters (a and b), fractal dimension (DC), and relationships between these parameters are calculated for different regions of the North of Central-East Iran Blocks (NCEIB). The whole examined area (between 34°-36° N and 55°-61° E) is divided into 55 equal square grids. Both the a and b values for the frequency-magnitude distribution (FMD) and the fractal dimension (DC) ...
متن کاملSlip complexity in earthquake fault models.
We summarize studies of earthquake fault models that give rise to slip complexities like those in natural earthquakes. For models of smooth faults between elastically deformable continua, it is critical that the friction laws involve a characteristic distance for slip weakening or evolution of surface state. That results in a finite nucleation size, or coherent slip patch size, h*. Models of sm...
متن کاملA New Perspective on Fault Geometry and Slip Distribution of the 2009 Dachaidan Mw 6.3 Earthquake from InSAR Observations
On 28 August 2009, the northern margin of the Qaidam basin in the Tibet Plateau was ruptured by an Mw 6.3 earthquake. This study utilizes the Envisat ASAR images from descending Track 319 and ascending Track 455 for capturing the coseismic deformation resulting from this event, indicating that the earthquake fault rupture does not reach to the earth's surface. We then propose a four-segmented f...
متن کاملIntrinsic Mode Functions of Earthquake Slip Distribution
In this paper, empirical mode decomposition technique is used to analyze the spatial slip distribution of five past earthquakes. It is shown that the finite fault slip models exhibit five empirical modes of oscillation. The last intrinsic mode is positive and characterizes the non-stationary mean of the slip distribution. This helps in splitting the spatial variability of slip into trend and th...
