Predicted climate-induced changes in the Great Lakes include increased variability water levels, which may shift periphyton habitat. Our goal was to determine impacts of level Lake Superior on community assemblages Keweenaw Peninsula with different surface geology. At three sites, we identified as a function depth, determined area habitat using high resolution bathymetry, and estimated impact r...

The main objective of this paper is to use ant optimized neural networks to generate artificial earthquake records. In this regard, training accelerograms selected according to the site geology of recorder station and Wavelet Packet Transform (WPT) used to decompose these records. Then Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) optimized with Ant Colony Optimization and resilient Backpropagation algorith...

In the second revised edition of this widely used textbook, practical aspects are given particular emphasis. Two new chapters have been added-one on geology in engineering, another summarizing the subject matter of physical geology and explaining its relation to earth history. The chapter on geology in engineering, and those on minerals and mineral deposits, offer especially good material for a...

I am delighted to announce completion of the second issue of the new journal of “Geopersia”, a product of the new era of replacing the Persian language journals with specific English-language ones. Our purpose is to provide a journal that offers a multi-disciplinary analysis of issues concerning Geology subjects (i.e. sedimentology, stratigraphy, paleontology, Petroleum Geology, Engineering Geo...

In the Tatun mountain area of northern Taiwan are two strong motion stations approximately 2.5 km apart, TAP056 and TAP066 of the TSMIP network. The accelerometer at station TAP056 is often triggered by earthquakes, but that at TAP066 station is not. Comparisons of vertical and horizontal peak ground accelerations reveal PGA in the vertical, east-west, and north-south components at TAP056 stati...
