According to Paleoseismic investigations and observations on undeformed fluvial strath surfaces, the HFT in Nahan Salient has not experienced coseismic slip at least for the last six to seven centuries. Our new observations and chronological assessments on folded and faulted fluvial strath surfaces on the hanging wall of the HFT indicates a maximum slip rate of 10.4 ± 0.8–12.2 ± 0.8 mm/a (averaged over the last 7–8 ka). Seismic quiescence of 600–700 a results in a ~6.2–8.5 m slip deficit on the HFT which could trigger a Mw ≥7.7 earthquake. Our findings underline an enormous seismic risk prevailing in the Nahan area.","PeriodicalId":22260,"journal":{"name":"Terra Nova","volume":"35 1","pages":"370 - 378"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48366509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To collect this important qualitative data, semi-structured interviews were conducted with outpatients with schizophrenia (<i>n</i> = 24), caregivers (<i>n</i> = 12), and professional peer support specialists (<i>n</i> = 12) to elicit their views about the definition and importance of functional independence, the importance of the functional domains assessed by the VRFCAT (meal planning, using transportation, handling money, shopping), and the relevance of the VRFCAT tasks to these domains. Qualitative thematic analyses revealed consistent themes across groups in defining functional independence, including performing instrumental self-care, financial, and social tasks; making decisions autonomously; and not depending on others to carry out daily activities. There were, however, notable differences in their views regarding the importance of and barriers to functional independence. All groups viewed the VRFCAT as assessing skill domains that are central to independent functioning and, with some minor differences, the VRFCAT tasks were viewed as relevant and meaningful examples of the domains.

In this paper, high‐resolution seismic reflection profiles were used to identify fault‐related ruptures in the submerged Quaternary sediments of the Beagle Channel. Some faults reach the seafloor, affecting marine sediments, indicating they are Holocene in age. The correlation with outcrop data and lineaments mapped onshore suggests the post‐glacial reactivation of two structures: the E‐W striking BCFS and the NW‐SE‐trending Lapataia Fault Zone (LFZ). Whereas the BCFS displays along‐strike variation in throw, the LFZ shows significant normal displacements. These results imply that deformation occurs in a wider and more complex manner than previously thought and highlight the need for a thorough hazard assessment of the area.","PeriodicalId":22260,"journal":{"name":"Terra Nova","volume":"35 1","pages":"329 - 342"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41497814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to the shape and the regular distribution of these aggregates showing similar size, they are interpreted as former coesite phenocrysts, which grew early in a felsic magma.

Documenting the characteristics of an undisturbed crystal mush is thus of upmost importance; it highlights the initial conditions with which complex crystal mush processes proceed. We here present the structure and composition of an oceanic crystal mush through detailed petro‐structural and chemical study of metre‐scale intrusions from the Mid‐Atlantic Ridge. Textures, bulk‐rock and mineral compositions indicate closed‐system crystallization of primitive melts, undisturbed by dissolution–precipitation reactions and subsequent deformation. These frozen crystal mushes record the simplest possible evolution of small‐scale intrusions and can be used as a baseline to pinpoint the impact of crystal mush processes on the evolution of complex systems. Any divergence from this reference results from processes occurring concomitantly to the progressive closure of the magmatic system.","PeriodicalId":22260,"journal":{"name":"Terra Nova","volume":"35 1","pages":"305 - 312"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48201402","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The formation, migration, heating and controls on the composition of metal‐fertile fluids in active geothermal systems provide insights into the formation of ore‐forming fluids. Fluid’s metal contents are relatively high in the Yadong–Yangbajing–Naqu (YYN) geothermal belt of South Tibet, and a similar association of enrichment has been found in saline lakes of the region. This study analysed major ions and trace metal contents together with stable (O, H) isotopes of water samples from geothermal springs and wells and regional saline lakes and rivers along the Beng and YYN fault systems. Results demonstrate that metal‐fertile geothermal brines, were sourced from the Bangor saline lake.

We use the geometry of river basins to evaluate horizontal deformation associated with the South China–North China relative block motion in the east Qinling mountains. The long‐time average slip rates of the Luonan fault and Shangdan fault are constrained as 0.31 mm/year and 0.3–0.6 mm/year, respectively. According to the latest GPS, we believe that a minor portion of the crustal strain of relative block motion between North China and South China was partitioned into the east Qinling strike‐slip fault system, leaving a major portion of deformation to be accommodated by southern North China (SNC). We conclude that the eastward extrusion of South China cannot explain the present deformation of the entire eastern China, and more attention should be paid into the SNC.","PeriodicalId":22260,"journal":{"name":"Terra Nova","volume":"35 1","pages":"294 - 304"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43866870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Also, they show wide ranges of whole‐rock Nd and zircon Hf isotopes that are similar to the subduction‐modified mantle‐derived alkaline volcanic rocks in the region. Combing with the geochemical model, we suggest that the ore‐associated suites dominantly originated from partial melts of subduction‐metasomatised mantle by fractional crystallisation. In contrast, the barren suites are mainly characterised by low Mg# and Cr and Ni contents that are comparable to the crustal melts and they have enriched whole‐rock Nd and zircon Hf isotopes, indicating a metasomatised lower crustal origin.

We date garnet crystallisation in K‐poor leucosomes using Sm–Nd garnet isotopic data to have occurred at 2734 ± 9 Ma. Following deposition of the protolith and rapid burial, the crust remained molten for 17 ± 14 Ma. This estimate is within error similar to the 24 ± 12 Ma proposed for rocks that have evolved along a Barrovian P–T path.
