Formation of conjugate strike-slip faults is commonly explained by the Anderson fault theory, which predicts a X-shaped conjugate fault pattern with an intersection angle of ~30 degrees between the maximum compressive stress and the faults. However, major conjugate faults in Cenozoic collisional orogens, such as the eastern Alps, western Mongolia, eastern Turkey, northern Iran, northeastern Afg...

The Arabian plate has been converging with Eurasia for 20-30 Ma, currently at 2-3 cm/year. Convergence is manifested differently along strike, with collision and tectonic escape in the west (Anatolia) and subduction of Arabia beneath Eurasia in the east (Iran). The reason for these differences may reflect the greater density of the Arabian lithosphere in the east relative to that in the west. F...

The Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) is the National Supercomputer Facility in Spain, hosting MareNostrum, one of the most powerful Supercomputers in Europe. The Earth Sciences Department of BSC operates daily regional dust and air quality forecasts and conducts intensive modelling research for short-term operational prediction. This contribution summarizes the latest developments and curr...
متن کاملGrand Challenges in Earth and Environmental Science
Recognizing the Signal Within the Natural Variability This first challenge is, of course, at the crux of the global warming conundrum. Are steady increases in global temperature (and accompanying climate changes) in the past 150 years simply an expression of natural variability, or are they a direct result of mankind’s activities that have resulted in an increase in greenhouse gases? The weight...
متن کاملImplementation science: understanding behaviour change and maintenance
Interventions to improve implementation of evidencebased health care have achieved modest and variable success. Improving implementation depends on changing the behaviour of health professionals, managers, commissioners and others working within and with the health care system. Achieving and maintaining behaviour change within the ethical and practical constraints that typically operate remains...
