Recent experimental studies have shown that well-annealed, unstrained Si(105) surfaces appear disordered and atomically rough when imaged using scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM). We construct new models for the Si(105) surface that are based on single-and double-height steps separated by Si(001) terraces, and propose that the observed surface disorder of Si(105) originates from the presence ...

Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) is one of the components of the Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS), which are good examples of evolutionary adapted socio-ecosystems in human history. The Hani Rice Terraces System, located in China’s southwestern Yunnan Province, is a living example of GIAHS. The Hani Rice Terraces system has existed for more than one thousand years,...

[1] Fold deformation in three dimensions involves shortening, uplift, and lateral growth. Fluvial terraces represent strain markers that have been widely applied to constrain a fold’s shortening and uplift. For the lateral growth, however, the utility of fluvial terraces has been commonly ignored. Situated along northern margin of Chinese Pamir, the Mushi anticline preserves, along its northern...

River terraces are geomorphological markers recording deformation. Here, we use four strath and fill river along the Kızılırmak in Turkey to unravel deformation convex arc formed by central North Anatolian Fault (NAF), a continental transform fault. 10Be, 26Al, 36Cl cosmogenic exposure ages of T3 T2 constrain their formation at 83 ± 15 ka 67 7 ka, respectively. We evidence frost-cracking during...

Abstract Examining the regularity in slip over seismic cycles leads to an understanding of earthquake recurrence and provides basis for probabilistic hazard assessment. Systematic analysis three-dimensional paleoseismic trenches offset markers along faults reveal history. Flights displaced terraces have also been used study slips paleoearthquakes when number earthquakes contributing observed di...
