The fault, despite its seismic inactivity for over two centuries, has a long history of ancient seismicity, with earthquake recurrence intervals exceeding two centuries. This makes it highly susceptible to future activity and the generation of significant and devastating earthquakes. However, limited research has been conducted on extracting and modeling deformation patterns of the North Tabriz Fault to identify its active segments. The primary objective of this study is to derive a general trend for fault displacement and investigate regions under pressure in terms of abnormal crustal movements. The results indicate that the Earth's crust in the surrounding regions of the central and northwest segments of the fault exhibits an upward movement ranging from approximately 2 to 10 millimeters per year from 2015 to 2022. In contrast, neighboring areas of the northwestern fault, as well as the northwestern, western, and southwestern parts of Tabriz County, experience ground subsidence with rates ranging from approximately 5 to 40 millimeters per year. These findings are consistent with GNSS-derived line-of-sight measurements obtained from some IPGN stations around the fault with an RMSE of 1.72 mm/yr. Furthermore, the study identifies critical points near the fault that exhibit varying and diverse displacement patterns over time, suggesting significant strain and notable stress within the subsurface environment. According to the analysis of time series data on crustal movements at the identified critical points, it has been found that the prevailing motion pattern of the Earth's crust within the fault zone largely conforms to a sinusoidal descending pattern. Additionally, recent earthquakes in the northwest vicinity of the fault have been observed to occur close to these critical points. Using line-of-sight (LOS) data acquired at these critical points, the study estimates a slip rate of 7.71 ± 0.01 mm/year and a locking depth of 11.27 ± 0.01 km, contributing to a better understanding of the fault's seismogenic behavior. These findings provide valuable insights into the crustal deformation patterns around the North Tabriz Fault, highlighting active segments and regions under pressure.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54823,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geodynamics","volume":"162 ","pages":"Article 102060"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142528524","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}

However, it is challenging to perform OMC closed-loop validation in the East China Sea (ECS) due to potential biases in the individual model and the lack of certain data processing. In this study, we comprehensively analyze the ocean mass budget in the ECS during the GRACE era (2005–2015) by utilizing multiple datasets, mainly consisting of three official GRACE RL06 solutions, three altimetry products, and four ocean reanalysis products. The effect of ocean bottom deformation, neglected in previous studies, is −0.38 ± 0.06 mm/yr, and we estimate a more accurate ensemble sea level change to be 4.05 ± 1.50 mm/yr in the ECS from the altimetry products. There are discrepancies between leakage-corrected GRACE OMC observations and steric-corrected altimeter OMC estimations in both the seasonal signals and the long-term trends (e.g., 6.25 mm/yr vs. 4.22 mm/yr). These discrepancies are strongly correlated with sediment runoff from the Yangtze River and in-situ sediment observations, suggesting that ocean sediment accumulation should be considered in the ocean mass budget in the ECS. Since in-situ sediment data are estimated over ∼100 years, we employ an empirical estimation method to determine the corresponding data during the period 2005–2015, to avoid potential biases caused by inconsistencies in observational timespans. The results show that sediment mass changes can explain about 96 % of residual trends. Our results emphasize the significant impact of sediment on improving the ocean mass budget in the ECS, offering a novel perspective for estimating ocean mass changes in other coastal regions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54823,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geodynamics","volume":"161 ","pages":"Article 102043"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141592965","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}

Regarding the role of euhedral crystals, we show that euhedral olivine crystals occur in a mixture of forsterite and diopside (used by (Miyazaki et al., 2013)) but not in a mixture of olivine and enstatite. Consequently, the results by reported by (Miyazaki et al., 2013) are not applicable to the Earth’s upper mantle where olivine co-exists mostly with enstatite. Also we show that the LPO reported by (Miyazaki et al., 2013) is not consistent with the shape of olivine, and the observed LPO is likely due to dislocation glide (A-type fabric) under the conditions near the diffusion-dislocation creep regime boundary.</p><p>Regarding the LPO of olivine with the presence of melt, (Qi et al., 2018)’s experimental study with the torsion geometry did not reproduce the B-type fabric reported by (Holtzman et al., 2003) indicating that the B-type fabric reported by (Holtzman et al., 2003) was indeed an artifact of the direct shear experiments. The weak LPO found by (Qi et al., 2018) (compared to that by (Zimmerman et al., 1999)) can be explained by the smaller grain size in their experiments. I conclude that a majority of the experimental results on olivine LPO at relatively low pressures (&lt;2 GPa) can be understood based on the basics of deformation mechanism map and LPO caused by various slip systems in olivine. Regarding a claim by (Ohuchi and Irifune, 2013) that the A-type LPO (a-slip) dominates at high water content and c-slip dominates at low water content at pressures higher than ∼7 GPa, a compilation of experimental studies by (Masuti et al., 2019) and the observed LPO of the ultra-deep xenolith do not support their claim. However, experimental studies under these high-pressure conditions are limited and there remain large uncertainties regarding the LPO at high pressures (P&gt;3 GPa).</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54823,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geodynamics","volume":"161 ","pages":"Article 102033"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141139470","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 anisotropy is responsible for even larger velocity variations than those due to composition of the most abundant upper mantle rocks (peridotites). The large-scale in-situ measurements of the upper mantle anisotropy capture fabrics of the mantle lithosphere, and enables mapping lateral changes in its structure.

Each of the domains has its own thickness and fossil fabric characterized by tilted symmetry axes. We map boundaries of the domains in dependence on the fabric changes. The boundaries can be either narrow and steep or broader and inclined, with an offset relative to boundaries of the related crustal bocks, which can reach several tens of kilometres.

The Punta Bianca Unit is part of the Tuscan Metamorphic Units, a group of units derived from the Adria passive margin, metamorphosed at different conditions, and forming the backbone of the Northern Apennine belt. We combined meso- and microstructural analyses, ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar white-mica geochronology and multi-equilibrium geothermobarometry from high-resolution X-ray chemical maps, to unravel the deformation and metamorphic history of this part of the belt. Meso- and microstructural data indicate that the Punta Bianca Unit recorded two main phases of ductile deformation (here referred to D_p-1 and D_p) associated with syn-kinematic growth of K-white mica, chlorite, calcite, quartz on the related tectonic foliations (S_p-1 and S_p), followed by a later ductile deformation phase (D_p+1) lacking of metamorphic blastesis. <em>P-T</em> estimates complemented by microstructural data suggest that peak metamorphic conditions reached ∼0.8 GPa and ∼350°C and occurred synchronously with the first deformation phase (D_p-1). Temperature values were also confirmed by Raman spectroscopy of carbonaceous material on selected samples.

The estimated site velocity in the ITRF14 ranges between 30.5±1–42.85±3 mm/yr.

The eclogite retrogression has at its early stages only limited influence on the P-wave velocity. The progress of retrogression in eclogite is associated with gradual decrease in density and P-wave velocity. A more significant influence on P-wave velocity has been observed for the kelyphitization of garnet than for the pyroxene symplectitization. The serpentinization process associated with rapid density decrease is reflected by distinct decrease of P-wave velocity regardless of the rock type.
