The surface uplift history of the Tibetan Plateau and Himalaya is among the most interesting topics in geosciences because of its effect on regional and global climate during Cenozoic time, its influence on monsoon intensity, and its reflection of the dynamics of continental plateaus. Models of plateau growth vary in time, from pre-India-Asia collision (e.g., approximately 100 Ma ago) to gradua...

A measurement campaign of particle number concentration and size distribution was conducted at urban (SYSU) suburban (Panyu) areas Guangzhou, South China, during 16 January to 3 February 2020 before the Chinese New Year (CNY) holiday. Average (PNC) 6.3 × 103 cm-3 9.7 cm-3, respectively, sites, indicating severe particulate matter (PM) pollution. The PNC in region influenced by monsoon land–sea ...

Aboveground liquid storage tanks are often found on weak compressive soil due to their proximity harbours and rivers. These conditions lead a high probability of significant soil-structure interaction (SSI) under earthquake loading. In strong earthquakes, the transient partial separation tank base from supporting medium (uplift) chaotic sloshing cause damage wall. This experimental research det...

The proposal that climate change can drive the uplift of mountain summits hinges on the requirement that glacial erosion significantly enhances the relief of a previously fluvially sculpted mountain range. We have tested this hypothesis through a systematic investigation of neighbouring glaciated and nonglaciated drainage basins on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada, CA. We present a simple,...

The Betic Cordillera is a topographic manifestation of Miocene to recent collision between the African and the European plates. Mountain ranges in the Internal Zone of the Betic Cordillera are exhumed massifs of metamorphic and sedimentary rocks, and are surrounded by low-lying sedimentary basins. The Neogene history of mountain range uplift and basin formation in the Betics is well studied, bu...

Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) imaging of the central Rio Grande rift (New Mexico, USA) during 1992-1999 reveals a crustal uplift of several centimeters that spatially coincides with the seismologically determined outline of the Socorro magma body, one of the largest currently active magma intrusions in the Earth’s continental crust. Modeling of interferograms shows that the o...

[1] Recent experimental and theoretical studies support the notion that bed load in mountain rivers can both enhance incision rates through wear and inhibit incision rates by covering the bed. These effects may play an important role in landscape evolution and, in particular, the response of river channels to tectonic or climatic perturbation. We use the channel-hillslope integrated landscape d...

[1] Asian monsoon climate variability at geological time scales is modulated by both the Earth’s orbital changes and tectonic uplift of the Tibetan Plateau (TP). Here, using bandpass-filtered versions of previously-published highresolution geological records from Chinese loess, we show that the orbital-scale variability of the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) has increased dramatically since th...

This short note presents a derivation of the velocity description of deformation for the geometric models of pure-shear and simple-shear faultbend folding. This allows the calculation of rates of displacement, uplift and limb-rotation associated with such structures and their comparison with classical fault-bend folds. Using this velocity description, we examine the differences between pure-she...

Abstract The effect of nanosecond UV laser pulses on copper and low-alloy samples has been studied. Traces high-temperature deformation have found at the energy density 0.1–1 J/cm 2 in below-threshold regime without obvious traces melting. They manifest themselves as results slipping cracking along grain boundaries, well crystallographic slip inside grains. surface metal irradiated zone exhibit...
