Earthquake size distributions are slightly different in compression vs extension

M Taroni, MMC Carafa - Communications Earth & Environment, 2023 - nature.com
The earthquake size distribution is described by an exponential function governed by the b-
value parameter. It has already been proven that the b-value depends on the differential …

Glacier decay boosts the formation of new Arctic coastal environments—Perspectives from Svalbard

J Kavan, MC Strzelecki - Land Degradation & Development, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
The consequences of accelerating climatic warming on Arctic landscape evolution are far‐

Anthropocene isostatic adjustment on an anelastic mantle

ER Ivins, L Caron, S Adhikari - Journal of Geodesy, 2023 - Springer
A general assumption in geodesy is that solid Earth deformation in the presence of recent
