We apply a symmetry-based, statistical method for kine­ matic analysis of mesoscale fault-zone structures to resolve the trans­ port directions for the Rosario fault zone and Lopez StructuralCom­ plex in the San Juan Islands. Both moderately dipping fault zones accommodated large amounts of Late Cretaceous slip ( > 30 km), but the transport direction of nappes overlying these fault zones is con...

Instability of submarine slopes in Zhoushan Islands is widespread. Frequent landslides pose a great threat to offshore facilities such as optical cables, reclamation projects, ports and docks. In this paper, self-developed in-situ observation system used observe the deformation on southwest side Zhujiajian Island for 75 days. The results show that characteristics sediments at different depths s...

The aim of this work is to analyse barchan dunes migration patterns and their effect on urban agricultural areas in Ain Salah region southern Algeria. A supervised classification Landsat images over a 13 years period (2005, 2009, 2013 2017) was applied create land cover maps which were used for spatiotemporal monitoring by dune feature changes. results show that sand covered area has increased ...

Remote triggering of small low-frequency seismic tremor (non-volcanic tremor) near the seismic-aseismic transition zone of subduction zones, by surface waves from large distant earthquakes, has been reported in southwest Japan and the Cascadia region. Recent observed triggering in southwest Japan from three large earthquakes (2003 Tokachi-oki, 2007 Solomon, and 2008 Wenchuan) covering wide azim...

Sea-breeze-initiated convection and precipitation have been investigated along the east coast of India during the Indian southwest monsoon season. Seabreeze circulation was observed on approximately 70–80% of days during the summer months (June–August) along the Chennai coast. Average sea-breeze wind speeds are greater at rural locations than in the urban region of Chennai. Sea-breeze circulati...

Effective and careful research has been performed by the Section of Mechanics Teaching and Research, Southwest Petroleum University on the content, status, student characteristics of the non-mechanical and non-civil-engineering engineering mechanics course system. Reform ideas and measures, which are also applicable to other common colleges, have been suggested in the course content and course ...

This work was carried out in two small fishing communities, Barra de Mamanguape and Tramataia, Northeastern Brazil. The aim was to study these traditional fishermen's knowledge and perception about tide and wind classifications, as well as their fishing strategies and techniques. Our research methodology involved various techniques: free interviews and semi-structured ones, guided tours and dir...
