Seismo-ripples

Earthquake prediction has long been considered one of the greatest challenges in the global scientific community due to the complex and uncertain nature of seismogenic processes, along with the prevailing consensus that earthquakes are inherently unpredictable. Here, we present a...

Melt evolution and crystal cargo uptake at Mount Ruapehu: a magma plumbing system characterized by narrow dikes and sills

Abstract To assess the magma plumbing architecture of Mount Ruapehu, an active stratovolcano in the Taupō Volcanic Zone (New Zealand), we combine whole rock, groundmass and crystal geochemistry of lava samples from the south-west flank, focusing on the Mangawhero (50–15 ka) and W...

Ground-Motion Models for 5% Damped PSA for Shallow Crustal Earthquakes in Northern Vietnam

ABSTRACT This study presents a ground-motion model (GMM) for Northern Vietnam (NVN). The reference global GMM given by Abrahamson et al. (2014; hereafter, ASK14) is regionalized to NVN using a local data set that contained data recorded at 83 stations from 229 shallow crustal ear...

Advancements and challenges in lithium–oxygen battery technology: A comprehensive overview

Lithium–oxygen (Li–O₂) batteries are attractive beyond-lithium-ion systems because oxygen is stored outside the positive electrode and the Li₂O₂-forming reaction provides a theoretical specific energy of approximately 3500 Wh kg⁻¹ when oxygen is excluded from the carried mass. Th...
