The reactivation of faults and possible impact on barrier integrity marks a critical aspect for investigations subsurface usage capabilities. Glacial isostatic adjustments, originating from repeated Quaternary glaciations northern Europe, cause tectonic stresses pre-existing fault systems structural elements the North German Norwegian–Danish basins. Notably, our current understanding dynamics s...

[1] The >300-km long, east striking Lapeiquan fault lies in the eastern Altyn Tagh range along the northern margin of the Tibetan Plateau and was interpreted as a north dipping thrust in early studies. However, our mapping shows that the fault is a south dipping normal fault juxtaposing Archean-Proterozoic gneisses beneath an early Paleozoic volcanic and sedimentary sequence. Its dip angle vari...

The left lateral strike-slip Bucaramanga Fault exhibits a transpressional southern termination located towards the axial zone of Eastern Cordillera Colombia, where Boyacá and Soapaga Faults are also identified as inversion-related structures. To unravel their exhumation history, we obtained apatite zircon: fission-track (U–Th)/He ages from samples collected along different structural domains, f...

We investigate the present-day orogenic architecture of Pyrenean-Cantabrian junction corresponding to a boundary between inverted rift segments using seismic interpretation, field data, and borehole information. This was formerly attributed major NNE-SSW striking Pamplona transfer fault segmenting Basque-Cantabrian Mauléon basins during both rifting convergence. Our study shows that results fro...

The interpretation of a densely spaced and well-calibrated seismic grid sheds new light on the development and evolution of key regional and local structures in the Wessex Basin. The results help to resolve long-standing controversies concerning the tectonic significance of apparently anomalous outcrop patterns and the role of important, local ancillary structures with respect to the major mono...

The article presents the results of research from Mokrzeszów site in Sudetic Foreland. Lithopetrographic and sedimentological analyses sediments Middle Polish Glaciations (Early Saalian, Odranian, MIS6) this area indicate overrepresentation (90–95%) large Scandinavian erratics. deposits, representing a repetitive sequence Gp-Gms-Sp-Sh/Sr(Dmm) lithofacies, accumulated during at least two episode...

glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (g6pd) from streptomyces aureofaciens was purified and denatured in 6 m urea. denaturation led to complete dissociation of the enzyme into its inactive monomers, 98% loss of the enzyme activity, about 30% decrease in the protein fluorescence and a 10 nm red shift in the emission maximum. dilution of urea-denatured enzyme resulted in regaining of the enzyme acti...

In many countries with low to moderate tuberculosis (TB) incidence, cases have shifted to elderly persons. It is unclear, however, whether these cases are associated with recent Mycobacterium tuberculosis transmission or represent reactivation of past disease. During 2009-2015, we performed a population-based TB investigation in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan, using in-depth contact tracing and 24-...

Throughout the 700-yearlong coal exploration period in Ruhr region, an abundance of geological, geophysical, seismic, and situ stress data was obtained from Carboniferous strata. In this study, we take advantage unique dataset to develop a static 3D geomechanical model predict spatially continuous distribution undisturbed state evaluate reactivation risk major fault zones. Compared point-wise i...

The El Salvador Fault Zone (ESFZ) is part of the Central American Volcanic Arc and accommodates oblique separation movement between forearc sliver Chortis block (Caribbean Plate). In this work, a triclinic transtension model was applied to geological (fault-slip inversion, shape volcanic calderas), seismic (focal mechanisms) geodetic (GPS displacements) data evaluate characteristics last stages...
