Highlights • New data reveal for the first time a history of the last ∼33.7 ky of uplift of Samosir. • Minimum uplift rates were high (4.9 cm/year) for the first 11.2 ky but diminished after that to <1 cm/year for the last 22.5 ky. • Numerical modeling suggests that rebound of remnant magma augmented by deep recharge appears to be the most likely driver for uplift. • Detumescence makes a neglig...

Original scientific paper In this paper, based on the overlapping deformation mode of load transfer law of uplift belled pile, and the theory of elastic mechanics, the elastic-plastic analytical solutions of uplift belled pile were derived, and the nonlinear elastic-plastic deformation analysis method was established, which made the deformation analysis theory of uplift belled pile more reasona...

Uplift modeling is a machine learning technique that aims to model treatment effects heterogeneity. It has been used in business and health sectors to predict the effect of a specific action on a given individual. Despite its advantages, uplift models show high sensitivity to noise and disturbance, which leads to unreliable results. In this paper we show different approaches to address the prob...

rolling-based seismic isolation systems, in which rollers of circular or non-circular section are used, are less expensive and easier to manufacture. however, this type of isolation suffers from either lack of restoring or re-centering capability, or weakness against uplift forces. to resolve the first shortcoming the use of elliptical as well as pillow-shape rolling parts has been suggested, a...

The Davisian model elucidates landscape development through an orogeny by denudation processes, postulating prolonged still-stand of a landmass following rapid tectonic uplift, ultimately resulting in a peneplain. The Penckian model emphasizes that landscape is shaped by concurrent tectonics and denudation, and includes the primary peneplain as an antithesis against the Davisian end-peneplain b...

it is well-known that the behavior of soil-structure systems can be well described using a limited number of non-dimensional parameters. this is the outcome of researches based on the premise that the foundation is bonded to the ground. here, it is shown the concept can be extended to systems with foundation uplift. a set of non-dimensional parameters are introduced which controls the main feat...

We introduce Global Positioning System (GPS) Imaging, a new technique for robust estimation of the vertical velocity field of the Earth's surface, and apply it to the Sierra Nevada Mountain range in the western United States. Starting with vertical position time series from Global Positioning System (GPS) stations, we first estimate vertical velocities using the MIDAS robust trend estimator, wh...

offshore pipelines used for oil and gas transportation are often buried to avoid damage from fishing activities and to provide thermal insulation. thermal expansion and contraction of the pipeline during operation can lead to lateral or upheaval buckling. a safe buried pipeline design must take into account a reliable evaluation of soil uplift resistance and pipe embedment depth. while the cost...

[1] River incision over geologic timescales can be a valuable indicator of regional surface uplift. However, extracting the timing of surface uplift relative to the onset of incision is complicated by changes in precipitation commensurate with topographic development. Evidence of large-scale river incision on the flanks of the Andean plateau has been cited in support of a rapid and recent surfa...

[1] The rapid unloading of ice from the southeastern sector of the Greenland ice sheet between 2001 and 2006 caused an elastic uplift of 35 mm at a GPS site in Kulusuk. Most of the uplift results from ice dynamic-induced volume losses on two nearby outlet glaciers. Volume loss from Helheim Glacier, calculated from sequential digital elevation models, contributes about 16 mm of the observed upli...
