Abstract:
... Northern China has 12 main deserts that range from extremely arid regions in the west to semi-arid or semi-humid regions in the east. Based on their geographical locations, we divided these deserts into western, central, and eastern deserts. We investigated the geochemical elements in their surface sediments and found that the concentration of the major element SiO₂ gradually increased from west t ...

Abstract:
... Shallow landslides (SLs) are rapid soil mass movements, typically occurring in the mountain areas, involving the most superficial soil layers up to 5 to 10 m in depth. Damages, and casualties due to shallow landslides are recorded globally, and in literature a variety of models to study landslides have been implemented hitherto. Often times, shallow landslides occur in the wake of snowfall events, ...

Abstract:
... Rifted passive margins exhibit a large variety in the timing, distribution, and amount of magmatism. The factors controlling magmatism during rifted margin formation, remain, however, incompletely understood, partly owing to the complex rifting styles. In this study, we use 2‐Dimensional numerical models to investigate the effects of depth‐dependent wide rifting and lithospheric counterflow on mag ...
