The extensional history of the Malad and Bannock ranges in southeast Idaho and northern Utah involves multiple phases of Tertiary normal faulting and synextensional deposition. Detailed geologic mapping, structural and stratigraphic analyses, and geochronologic data from this study elucidate previously defined deformational events in the region, and define two new extensional episodes. The larg...

this paper addresses the design of an observer-based fault diagnosis scheme, which is applied to some of the sensors and actuators of a wind turbine benchmark model. the methodology is based on a modified sliding mode observer (smo) that allows accurate reconstruction of multiple sensor or actuator faults occurring simultaneously. the faults are reconstructed using the equivalent output error i...

This study quantifies the significance of southerly water vapour fluxes, associated with the Zagros Mountains barrier jet, on precipitation occurring in the Eastern Fertile Crescent region and its change due to global warming. Precipitation events are simulated using a Regional Climate Model (MM5-Noah) driven by boundary conditions from a CCSM global climate model simulation with the SRES A2 em...

extended abstract 1. introduction neo-tectonics is the study of horizontal and vertical motions of earth’s crust originating from the late periods of neogen and quaternary. many researchers have defined tectotecnic as “the beginning of earth’s crust motions after the earliest orogenic phase” (stipancikova et al., 2008, p. 68). since there is no possibility of having access to the old seismic re...

Northeast India is a geodynamic hotspot for tectonic activities where three different plates viz., Indian, Eurasian and Burma Plates collide deform with respect to each other. moving Indian Plate subducting transversely beneath results in the formation of Indo-Burmese Ranges (IBR). In central IBR, north-south trending Churachandpur-Mao Fault (CMF) situated east Mizoram-Tripura Fold belt. The no...

     Lali sub-surface structure, with a NW-SE Zagros trending is located in Dezful Embayment. To determine the folding mechanism, structural geometric parameters including limbs dip, amplitude, wavelength, and crestal length were determined in four stages during deformation. In order to investigate the lateral folding mechanism, these geometric parameters were analyzed in three parts in the Lal...
