TL;DR: In this paper , the authors reviewed the experiment study of fault slip from field experiments, laboratory experiments, and numerical experiments, which helps to provide a clear understanding of earthquake mechanics and showed that there are five main influencing factors in the study of faults and earthquakes: stress, velocity, material, fluid, and temperature.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper analyzed the changes in the area, volume, and equilibrium line altitude (ELA) of the glaciers of China's mountain glaciers over the past several decades.

TL;DR: In this paper , a typical DCHA in the Bohai Bay Basin in eastern China was analyzed using biomarker analysis, aqueous inclusion analysis, quantitative fluorescence analysis, microscopic thin section observations, and basin modeling.

TL;DR: This article presented a global compilation of active plate boundaries and geological provinces in a shapefile format with interpretive attributes (e.g., crust type, plate type, province type, last orogeny).

TL;DR: A review of the available stratigraphic, sedimentological, petrological, geochronological, geochemical, tectonic, and paleomagnetic evidence on the Bangong-Nujiang suture zone and adjacent geological domains now at the heart of the Tibetan Plateau is presented in this article .

TL;DR: The uncertainty of all published data for constraining coeval seawater 87 Sr/86 Sr using four criteria (depositional environment, diagenetic alteration, age constraint and dissolution method) was evaluated in this article .

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors evaluated the performance of the iPhone 12 Pro for orientation and raster image data capture and found that the performance was comparable to analog compass-clinometers and reflex/mirrorless cameras.

TL;DR: Geomorphology and terrain analysis have been extensively studied in the literature as discussed by the authors . But the main focus of these studies has been on the analysis of terrain morphodynamics, and not only multiscale and multiaspect topographic characteristics but also the mechanisms and processes associated with terrain morphology.

TL;DR: In this article , the current status of newly emergent pollutant-microplastics-in the snow and ice of typical cryospheric regions (e.g., Arctic, Antarctic, Alps, Tibetan Plateau, and Andes), discussed their transport pathways, and provided perspectives for future research.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors used a Bayesian version of a generalized additive model with a multiple intercept for each Italian region to estimate the probability of landslide occurrence across a given geographic space.

TL;DR: In this paper , a compilation of new and previously published structural and geo-thermochronological data to explore the Cenozoic deformation history and the underpinning mechanism of the southeast Tibetan Plateau is presented.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors present the different in situ and ex situ approaches to measure the total oxygen uptake (TOU) and the diffusive oxygen uptake(DOU) of sediments and discuss their robustness towards methodological errors and statistical uncertainty.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors reviewed the geochemical and isotopic data from >2000 samples of Himalayan Cenozoic granitoids to evaluate their genesis and showed that the ages of these rocks show a southward younging trend from 49 Ma to 1 Ma.

TL;DR: This paper conducted a meta-analysis of 72 lakes worldwide based on integrated paleoecological records ranging from the 1850s to 2010s, and found that ecological shifts were mostly asynchronous across global lakes, but with an exceptionally increasing frequency since the 1950s.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors synthesize available geochronological data from the glaciated region, together with published stratigraphic and geomorphological data, as well as numerical modelling output, to derive 19 hypothesised reconstructions of the Laurentide and Innuitian ice sheets from 115 ka to 25 ka at 5-kyr intervals, with uncertainties quantified to include best, minimum, and maximum ice extent estimates at each time-step.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors proposed that the Avalonian basement was amalgamated after inferred late Ediacaran ridge-trench collision that initiated the northerly-southernly trending Avalonian transform fault (Atf, new).
