Empirical ground motion equations for the Eastern Alps, Austria

We present a new set of region-specific empirical Ground Motion Equations for the transition zone between the southern Vienna Basin and the Eastern Alps, the area with the highest seismic hazard in Austria. The equations include Intensity Prediction Equations for EMS-98 macroseis...

Epitactic Growthduring the Fluid-Driven Aragonite-to-CalciteTransformation

Abstract Aragonite and calcite (CaCO3) are the most abundant polymorphs of calcium carbonate in the Earth’s crust and are relevant industrial minerals. The factors that control the solid-state transformation of aragonite, the high-pressure polymorph, into calcite, the stable poly...
