Sem-cl Imaging of Planar Deformation Features and Tectonic Deformation Lamellae in Quartz

Introduction: Planar deformation features (PDFs) in quartz are diagnostic impact evidence. Using light microscopy, it is often impossible to distinguish between PDFs and tectonic deformation lamellae. [1] showed that PDFs can be imaged using a cathodoluminescence (CL) detector in a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and that in SEM-CL images PDFs can be distinguished from tectonic microfracture...

Area Potentials and Deformation Quantization

Systems built out of N-body interactions, beyond 2-body interactions, are formulated on the plane, and investigated classically and quantum mechanically (in phase space). Their Wigner Functions—the density matrices in phase-space quantization—are given and analyzed. In this brief note, we consider systems of N particles on a plane, interacting through N-body potentials, over and above more fami...

Monitoring of Tectonic Deformation by Mining Satellite Image Time Series

In this paper, an original approach for analyzing Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) time series is presented and applied to the monitoring of creep along a major active fault. InSAR data are computed from satellite acquisitions and allow ground deformations occurring between different dates to be measured with high precision over large areas. However, measurement precision remain...
