In order to develop a solid earth science framework for understanding and studying of active tectonic and earthquake processes, this task develops simulation and analysis tools to study the physics of earthquakes using state-of-the-art modeling, data manipulation, and pattern recognition technologies. We develop clearly defined accessible data formats and code protocols as inputs to the simulat...

optically stimulated luminescence (osl) is currently one of the most important dating methods. it dates the last exposure to sunlight. natural hazard evidences such as colluvial wedges, alluvial and fluvial sediments can be dated by osl. therefore, osl plays an important role in studies related to paleoseismology and tectonic activity, particularly in arid and semi- arid regions. the altai moun...

abstract the study of natural disasters is one of the most important primary principles for the growth of developing cities and the development of infrastructures. to this end, evaluating geodynamic activities using morphological data is considered one of the most pivotal applied methods. in this study, it was tried to detect active faults in yazd province using desert studies and remote sensin...

Abundant and clearly exposed relationships between structures and syntectonic sedimentary rocks in the southern Pyrenees make this area particularly suitable for detailed studies of the sequential development of a collisional orogenic belt. During the Pyrenean orogeny, major shortening occurred in the eastern Pyrenees in Eocene and early Oligocene times. Unto now, individual tectonic and deposi...

Because of its subaerial exposure the Asal rift segment provides an exceptional opportunity to quantify the deformation field of an active rift and assess the contribution of tectonics and volcanism to rifting processes. The present topography of the Asal rift results from the tectonic dismemberment during the last 100,000 years of a large central volcanic edifice that formed astride the rift z...
