Deformation from Inflation of a Dipping Finite Prolate Spheroid in an Elastic Half‐Space as a Model for Volcanic Stressing
TL;DR: In this article, an analytic expression for the deformation field resulting from the inflation of a finite prolate spheroidal cavity in an infinite elastic medium is given, which is equivalent to that generated by a parabolic distribution of double forces and centers of dilatation along the sphroid generator.

Closure of the Africa‐Eurasia‐North America Plate motion circuit and tectonics of the Gloria Fault
TL;DR: In this paper, the current motions of the African, Eurasian, and North American plates are examined, including whether there is resolvable motion of a Spitsbergen microplate, the direction of motion between the African and North America plates, whether the Gloria fault is an active transform fault, and the implications of plate circuit closures for rates of intraplate deformation.

TL;DR: For example, a recent analysis of the seasonal variation of the CO{sub 2} frost cover at the north pole has allowed an independent absolute calibration of the three neutron energy bands measured using the Gamma-Ray Spectrometer (GRS) onboard Mars Odyssey as mentioned in this paper.

Statistical physics approach to understanding the multiscale dynamics of earthquake fault systems
John B. Rundle,Donald L. Turcotte,Robert Shcherbakov,William Klein,William Klein,Charles G. Sammis +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the occurrence of earthquakes is a problem that can be attacked using the fundamentals of statistical physics, and they apply statistical physics associated with phase changes and critical points to a variety of cellular automata models.

TL;DR: Populations of native and introduced aquatic organisms in the San Francisco Bay/Sacramento- San Joaquin Delta Estuary have undergone significant declines over the past two decades, and uncertainty analysis can identify the most practical direction for future data acquisition.
