Abstract The Jiacha Gorge in southeastern Tibet is the second-largest deeply incised gorge of Yarlung-Tsangpo River, after Tsangpo Gorge. A late Cenozoic N-S–trending normal fault, Woka Rift coincides with western limit gorge. However, relationship between formation gorge, drainage evolution, and rift activity remains unclear. Analysis river long profile suggests that developed as a ~45-km-wide...

Late to post-Caledonian, Devonian extension remains unresolved in the SW Barents Sea, despite considerable knowledge from onshore Norway, East Greenland and Svalbard. We analyse intrabasement seismic facies high-resolution 3D reprocessed 2D data investigate evidence for Caledonian deformation post-Caledonian detachment faulting central Sea. These results are compared published potential field m...

Abstract Reliable assessment of fault stability is key for safe CO2 storage in a saline aquifer fault-bounded structures. The Alpha structure located the Vette fault's footwall Smeaheia area, offshore Norway, one potential sites with three-way closure. Assessing area challenging because uncertainties associated subsurface properties (i.e., rock lithologies, strength and geometry faults, etc.). ...

Determining the timing of E-W extension across NS-trending rifts in southern Tibet is key to test mechanical models latest evolution collision between India and Asia. We focus on half largest seven main rifts, Yadong-Gulu rift (YGR), which, despite being numerous studies thanks its easy access, still lacks direct time constraints. Using illite K-Ar ages fault gouge from active Yadong normal YGR...

Purpose. The research purpose is to study the effectiveness of artificial maintenance mined-out space based on use cable bolts reduce dilution coefficient when mining low-thickness ore bodies. Methods. Geotechnical mapping rock mass according Q, RMR, RQD and GSI rating classifications conducted, as well a linear survey fracture system in hanging wall footwall rocks performed using compass GEO I...

Abstract Inversion structures including folds, reverse faults are observed along the Bjørnøyrenna Fault Complex in western Barents Sea, although fault complex is extensional origin and developed mid-Jurassic to Early Cretaceous. Subsidence was interrupted Cretaceous (Valanginian early Barremian) because of syn-rift localized tectonic inversion, itself related uplift Loppa High. The inversion ca...

The Dayingezhuang orogenic gold deposit, located in the northwestern Jiaodong Peninsula, is hosted by Zhaoping detachment fault, but paleostress regime during mineralization period remains poorly understood. In this study, a series of numerical modeling experiments with variable stress conditions were carried out using FLAC3D software to determine orientation and fluid migration processes ore-f...

Nowadays, there has been a growing interest in understanding earthquake forerunners, i.e., anomalous variations that are possibly associated with the complex process of evolution. In this context, Robust Satellite Technique was coupled 10 years (2012–2021) daily night-time MODIS-Land Surface Temperature remote sensing data to detect thermal anomalies likely related 27 September 2021, strong ons...
