Asymmetry of Daily Temperature Records
(American Meteorological Society, 2008)
The authors study the NCEP–NCAR reanalysis temperature records and find that surface daily mean temperature cools rapidly and warms gradually at the midlatitudes (around 40°N and 40°S). This “asymmetry” is partially related ...
A Low Temperature Transfer of ALH84001 from Mars to Earth
(American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2000)
The ejection of material from Mars is thought to be caused by large impacts that would heat much of the ejecta to high temperatures. Images of the magnetic field of martian meteorite ALH84001 reveal a spatially heterogeneous ...
Yarrabubba - A Large, Deeply Eroded Impact Structure in the Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia
(Elsevier, 2003)
Yarrabubba is a newly discovered impact structure situated within the complex granite^greenstone terrain of the Yilgarn Craton. Shock-metamorphic effects including shatter cones, planar deformation features in quartz grains, ...
Geology of Five Small Australian Impact Craters
(Wiley Blackwell, 2005)
Here we present detailed geological maps and cross-sections of Liverpool, Wolfe Creek, Boxhole, Veevers and Dalgaranga craters. Liverpool crater and Wolfe Creek Meteorite Crater are classic bowlshaped, Barringer-type ...
Estimates of Seismic Potential in the Marmara Sea Region from Block Models of Secular Deformation Constrained by Global Positioning System Measurements
(Seismological Society of America (SSA), 2002)
We model the geodetically observed secular velocity field in northwestern Turkey with a block model that accounts for recoverable elastic-strain accumulation. The block model allows us to estimate internally consistent ...
The energy penalty of post-combustion CO2 capture & storage and its implications for retrofitting the U.S. installed base
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2009)
A review of the literature has found a factor of 4 spread in the estimated values of the energy penalty for post-combustion capture and storage of CO2 from pulverized-coal (PC) fired power plants. We elucidate the cause ...
The Current Distribution of Deformation in the Western Tien Shan from Block Models Constrained by Geodetic Data
(Academy of Sciences of USSR, 2001)
We interpret Global Positioning System measurements of interseismic deformation throughout the western Tien Shan in the context of a block model which accounts for important geologic features (faults) and physical processes ...
Present-Day Kinematics at the India-Asia Collision Zone: COMMENT and REPLY: REPLY
(Geological Society of America, 2007)
Earthquake Ruptures with Thermal Weakening and the Operation of Major Faults at Low Overall Stress Levels
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)
We model ruptures on faults that weaken in response to flash heating of microscopic asperity contacts (within a rate-and-state framework) and thermal pressurization of pore fluid. These are arguably the primary weakening ...
Thermal Pressurization and Onset of Melting in Fault Zones
(American Geophysical Union, 2006)
We examine how frictional heating drives the evolution of temperature, strength, and fracture energy during earthquake slip. For small slip distances, heat and pore fluid are unable to escape the shearing fault core, and ...
