Abstract The Ambon fault in the northern Banda Arc has capability of generating M w 6.9 earthquake. poses a significant seismic hazard to Island because is located near populous areas, City. Recent seismicity and surrounding areas indicates that this region actively deforming. experienced many damaging earthquakes since 17 th century. However, potential on island remains enigmatic due lack deta...

We report a case of tectonic corneal transplantation for impending corneal perforation to preserve anatomic integrity using cryopreserved donor tissue. An 82-year-old woman exhibiting impending corneal perforation suffered from moderate ocular pain in the left eye for one week. After abnormal tissues around the impending perforation area were carefully peeled away using a Crescent blade and Van...

A reorganization centered on the Pacific plate occurred ~53–47million years ago. A “top-down” plate tectonic mechanism, complete subduction of the Izanagi plate, as opposed to a “bottom-up”mantle flow mechanism, has been proposed as the main driver. Verification based on marine geophysical observations is impossible as most ocean crust recording this event has been subducted. Using a forward mo...

Despite much progress, many questions remain regarding the potential dynamic coupling between atmospheric and lithospheric processes in the long-term evolution of mountain belts. As a complement to recent efforts to discover the interrelationships among climate, topography, erosion, and rock deformation under conditions of mass-flux steady state, we explore orogen response to changes in climate...

This article provides a background for scientists interested in a general overview of the geology and geomorphology of Turkmenistan. The basement of Turkmenistan is a complex amalgamation of arc-related terranes developed in the Asiatic and northern Paleotethys oceanic domains during Late Paleozoic to Triassic times. A major part of the country coincides with the Turan Platform, where a thick s...

This article is aimed to give the first results of the project studying the faults and tectonic style of the southwestern part of Turkey based on remote sensing techniques. LANDSAT-TM and ASTER satellite data have been used in visual interpretation. The several techniques based on DEM have been applying to interpret in the determining of the tectonic features. The anaglyph image produced from L...
