Two tectonic scenarios have been proposed for genesis and emplacement of the Oman ophiolite. One suggests that the ophiolite was generated at a spreading center, the other suggests generation within an intraoceanic arc. An integrated thermal and kinematic model of the temperature, stress, rock type, and displacement fields during early stages of the emplacement ofthe Oman ophiolite was develope...

Analysis of internal structures of the Brooks Range ophiolite at the three largest and well-exposed klippen reveals a NE-SW structural grain that may parallel the original axis of magmatism of a slow spreading marginal ocean basin. Sub-parallel directions of lattice·fabrics in olivine of mantle peridotite and shape fabrics in pyroxene and plagioclase of layered gabbro indicate that asthenospher...

Road infrastructure is reshaping the rural settlement landscape in Himalayan area of China through construction road and strategic highway network. However, most methods based on multiple factors described spatial analysis are limited by poor response mechanisms key factors. This study provides insight into temporal process involving 15 settlements Zhada County, west Himalayas. The growth follo...

Introduction In 1950, Maurice Herzog and Louis Lachenal became the first climbers to reach the summit of an 8000 m peak (Annapurna, 8091 m). Since that pioneering achievement, tens of thousands of mountaineers have ventured to Nepal, Pakistan, Tibet and China to climb the 14 peaks that rise above 8000 m. Some have succeeded. Some have died in the attempt. Climbing above 8000 m is a severe test ...
