A new genus and three species of Charopidae (Pinwheel Snails) from differing habitats in Queensland New South Wales are described: Bindiropa irwinae gen. et sp. nov. the Carnarvon Gorge Section National Park, south-central Queensland; Stanisicaropa covidurnus St Bees Island, mid-eastern Gyrocochlea occidentalis western Border Ranges, south-eastern north-eastern Wales. An additional putative Ric...

The Wells 6.0 magnitude earthquake of February 21, 2008, occurred on a previously unrecognized northeast-striking southeast-dipping fault situated beneath Town Creek Flat, a few miles north of Wells, Nevada. Focal depth of the earthquake was 5 miles (8 km). Bedrock geology in the surrounding ranges did not indicate the existence of the fault prior to the earthquake, and no surface rupture has b...

The Jura-Cretaceous Peninsular Ranges batholith (PRb) of southern and Baja California is a remarkable example of a zoned batholith containing distinct oceanic (western) and continental (eastern) basements. The transition between these basements is marked by a crustal-scale boundary along which distinct volcanosedimentary, structural, and metamorphic histories evolved during Mesozoic orogenesis....

S U M M A R Y We invert for the state of stress in the southern California crust using a catalogue of high quality earthquake focal mechanisms (1981–2010). The stress field is best resolved where seismicity rates are high and sufficient data are available to constrain the stress field across most of the region. From the stress field, we determine the maximum horizontal compressive stress (SHmax...

The paper deals with multiple soft fault diagnosis of linear analog circuits. A verification method is developed that allows estimating the values a set parameters considered as potentially faulty. exploits transmittance circuit and based on diagnostic test leading to output signal in discrete form. Applying Z -transform equation written which next reproduced. obtained system equations consisti...

The study of surface ruptures is key to understanding the earthquake occurrence faults especially in absence historical events. We present a detailed analysis geomorphic displacements along Dzhungarian Fault, which straddles border China and Kazakhstan. use digital elevation models derived from structure-from-motion Pléiades satellite imagery drone specific field sites measure offsets. provide ...

It is commonly assumed a thrust has constant slip and uplifting rate along strike, however, this simplified model cannot always be consistent with field observations. The strike patterns variable offsets rates contain plenty of information about the characteristics faulting behavior its relationship adjacent faults. east Qilian Shan, located at northeastern margin Tibetan Plateau, provides us a...
