Crustal thickness is a critical parameter for understanding the processes of continental rifting and breakup and the evolution of petroleum systems within passive margins. However, direct measurements of crustal thickness are sparse and expensive, highlighting the need for methodologies using gravity anomaly data, jointly with other geophysical data, to estimate crustal thickness. We evaluated ...

Abstract. Central and western Europe were affected by a compressional tectonic event in the Late Cretaceous, caused convergence of Iberia Europe. Basement uplifts, inverted graben structures, newly formed marginal troughs are main expressions crustal shortening. Although maximum activity occurred during short period time between 90 75 Ma, exact timing this is still unclear. Dating start end Cre...

The control exerted by the Mesozoic basin configuration on Cenozoic tectonic evolution of Catalan Coastal Ranges has been frequently recognized as a key factor to explain its present-day structure. However, details this structural inheritance and through geological time is still under discussion. In work we present two cross-sections based fieldwork, well magnetotelluric data in order illustrat...

Turbulent erosion has been proposed as a major mechanism for removing wintertime cold-air pools (CAPs) from basins and valleys. The time scales involved in this erosion process, which are of great interest for winter weather forecasting, have not been studied systematically in the past. In this short contribution, a semi-analytical model is developed to estimate the time required for the dissip...

Abstract The Pannonian basin is an extensional back-arc that has undergone neotectonic inversion and currently shortening. understanding quantification of present-day deformation processes during this are still incomplete. To end, we investigate the active Circum-Pannonian region via interpolation GNSS-derived velocity field derivation strain rate fields. For field, use ordinary kriging, a stro...

Understanding the water balance of large groundwater systems is fundamental for the sustainable management of the resource. The vertical leakage (i.e. discharge to upper aquifers or the unconfined water table) component of the Great Artesian Basin (GAB) is an example of a poorly constrained but large component of the water balance of Australia’s largest groundwater resource. Field estimates of ...

Snow depth is a general input variable in many models of agriculture, hydrology, climate, and ecology. However, there are some uncertainties in the retrieval of snow depth by remote sensing. Errors occurred in snow depth evaluation under the D-InSAR methods will affect the accuracy of snow depth inversion to a certain extent. This study proposes a scheme to estimate spatial snow depth that comb...
