Abstract Pressure reduction following uplift may lead to dissociation of gas hydrates. The dynamics hydrate in such settings, however, are poorly understood. We used TOUGH+HYDRATE investigate the response hydrates an 0.009 myr $$^{-1}$$ - 1 </mml...

Ground cylindrical steel fluid storage tanks are widely used in different industries. Regarding the significance of these structures, it is important to establish their proper performance in earthquakes by evaluating their seismic performance. The present study examines the seismic behavior of an unanchored fluid storage system via ABAQUS after validation using an experimental model. Next, the ...

Erosion of orogenic mountain ranges exhumes deeply buried rocks and controls weathering, climate, and sediment production and transport at a variety of scales. Erosion also affects the topographic form and kinematics of orogens, and it may provide dynamic feedbacks between climate and tectonics by spatially focused erosion and rock uplift. Thermochronology measures the timing and rates at which...

Understanding diversity patterns along environmental gradients and their underlying mechanisms is a major topic in current biodiversity research. In this study, we investigate for the first time elevational patterns of vascular plant species richness and endemism on a long-isolated continental island (Crete) that has experienced extensive post-isolation mountain uplift. We used all available da...

We compare available phylogenetic studies and divergence time estimates for plant lineages that...

Although episodes of surface uplift and elevated seismicity precede many volcanic eruptions, their temporal evolution is often complex, apparently in contradiction to simple trends predicted by mechanical deformation models. Here, we use continuous global positioning system seismic data recorded at Sierra Negra volcano, Galápagos Islands, show how the edifice responded stress changes driven mag...

Regarding the economic development of region, per capita disposable income is closely related to number residents. A method coupling coordination degree with ArcGIS analysis used in this article for analyzing match between and resident population Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China, 2016 2020, using combining analysis. Based on results, it appears that majority residents Guangzhou reside Panyu...
