Abstract One of the most widespread hypotheses for origin present-day overpressure in shale Post-Chalk section North Sea is very rapid sedimentation from Neogene to present day. We tested this hypothesis by means numerical forward finite elements modelling and successfully simulated build-up during Cenozoic filling with relatively simple model set-up. Our shows that approximately 28% above hydr...

Turing machines and Gödel numbers are important pillars of the theory of computation. Thus, any computational architecture needs to show how it could relate to Turing machines and how stable implementations of Turing computation are possible. In this chapter, we implement universal Turing computation in a neural field environment. To this end, we employ the canonical symbologram representation ...

We present a microscopic approach for the coupling of cortical activity, as resulting from proper dipole currents of pyramidal neurons, to the electromagnetic field in extracellular fluid in presence of diffusion and Ohmic conduction. Starting from a full-fledged three-compartment model of a single pyramidal neuron, including shunting and dendritic propagation, we derive an observation model fo...

Abstract The Terror Rift is a 350 km‐long, 50–70 km‐wide, north‐trending deep basin in the western Ross Sea, adjacent to Transantarctic Mountains. lies within broader Victoria Land Basin, which experienced 100 km of mid‐Cenozoic extension. New fault and post‐29 Ma seismic stratigraphic interpretations were developed using all reflection data available from Antarctic Seismic Data Library System ...

The mechanical conditions for a volcanic eruption to occur are conceptually simple: a magma-driven fracture (normally a dyke) must be able to propagate from the source to the surface. The mechanics of small to moderate (eruptive volumes less than 10 km 3 ) is reasonably well understood, whereas that of large eruptions (eruptive volumes of 10-1000 km 3 ) is poorly understood. Here I propose that...

[1] Extension of the continental lithosphere leads to the formation of rift basins and ultimately may create passive continental margins. The mechanisms that operate during the early stage of crustal extension are still intensely debated. We present the results from coincident multichannel seismic and wide-angle seismic profiles that transect across the northern Tyrrhenian Sea Basin. The profil...

ENTEC [Environmental Tectonics] was a European Community funded FP5 research network of nine European research institutes, coordinated by the VU Amsterdam in the years 2001-2004. The network aimed for a quantitative understanding of processes related to active tectonics in the Upper and Lower Rhine Graben and the Vienna Basin. These areas are associated with a much higher level of recent tecton...
