we usewe use ml shear wave velocity to derive a high resolution 2d ml shear wave velocity map for the iranian plateau. the ml amplitudes and arrival times are routinely measured for the calculation of local magnitude. ml shear wave velocity is very sensitive to the lateral change of crustal thickness and switches between the velocity of lg and sn waves. an lg wave will die out as soon as encoun...

Climate change velocity is a vector depiction of the rate of climate displacement used for assessing climate change impacts. Interpreting velocity requires an assumption that climate trajectory length is proportional to climate change exposure; longer paths suggest greater exposure. However, distance is an imperfect measure of exposure because it does not quantify the extent to which trajectori...

This study represents part of a project by the Global Change and Terrestrial Ecosystem Soil Erosion Network to validate wind erosion models. Soil loss measurements from 46 storm events from eroding fields in six states were compared to predictions from the Wind Erosion Prediction System (WEPS) erosion submodel. The field data were collected from small (2.5 ha), circular, cropland fields with no...
