Earthquake surface-fault rupture location uncertainty is a key factor in fault displacement hazard analysis and informs risk mitigation strategies. Geologists often predict future locations from mapping based on the geomorphology interpreted remote-sensing data sets. However, surface processes can obscure location, traces may be mapped error, not break every trace. We assessed how well geomorph...

Introduction. The western and northwestern flanks of the Tharsis Montes volcanoes were covered by tropical mountain glaciers 125–220 million years ago [1], as evidenced by the morphology, stratigraphic relationships, and spatial distribution of landforms in the fanshaped deposits (FSDs) on each volcano [2-8] and by climate and glacial flow models that predict snow accumulation and ice flow in t...

Qomrood river is one of the rivers that located in arid and semiarid area which has a seasonal fluvial. The river is faced many changes, because of floods or natural- human factors. This study, as a geomorphologic study, tries to survey and identify geometric changes between Kocherey dam and 15-Khordad dam. The study method is a mix of library research and field studies. In library method all p...

landslides are among important mass movements of a great interest for earth scientists. this is due to their importance in land use and decision-making in rural and urban areas. survey of old landslides to determine their behavior has important bearing on the study of new ones. seimareh grand landslide is one of the oldest and the most attractive phenomenon that has been the subject of concern ...

The Golo River drains a steep catchment (average gradient of 30 m km?1, surface 1214 km2) in the northeast part Corsica Island, delivering sediments to Ligurian Sea. In this study, we review and revise geologic map constrain extent coastal alluvial plain formations their relative absolute chronology. To update each formation, performed geomorphologic analysis with DEMs satellite imagery data co...

BACKGROUND Cold-water coral reef ecosystems are recognized as biodiversity hotspots in the deep sea, but insights into their associated bacterial communities are still limited. Deciphering principle patterns of bacterial community variation over multiple spatial scales may however prove critical for a better understanding of factors contributing to cold-water coral reef stability and functionin...
