To understand the forming and tectonic evolution of the South China Sea basin, new data of the structural styles and geochronology were obtained from the Dulong-Song Chay dome, southeastern Yunnan and northern Vietnam. The structural styles were acquired through field investigation and geo-chronolog...

Paleontologists search the fossil record for evidence of age, ancient environments, phylogenetic reconstructions and ancient communities. Cenozoic foraminifera preserve evidence for all of these simultaneously from the water column and from at, above and below the sediment/water interface. As our un...

To show paleontological characteristics of the Olenekian-Anislan boundary beds in the Russian Far East, a review of new data on the Upper Olenekian and Lower Anisian biostratigraphy of South Primorye is given on the basis of five sections: Golyi Cape, Petrovka River, Zhitkov Peninsula, Tchernyschew ...

The Carboniferous can be divided into four series in the Dianqiangui basin and its adjacent areas, Southwest China: the Yanguanian series, the Datangian series, the Weiningian series and the Mapingian series. The Maping Formation, traditionally used as the lithostraUgraphic unit of the Upper Carboni...

The major scientific goal of using satellite data for mineral prospecting in the study area was two-fold: (a) mapping geology, faults and fractures that localize ore deposits; (b) recognizing hydrothermally altered rocks by interpreting their spectral signatures. The lithology, properties, and geolo...

A stack of records becomes one of the main steps in modern seismic data processing. In the stack procedure, the crucial operation is time correction. Conventional methods, e.g., normal moveout (NMO) and dip moveout (DMO) stacks require a sufficiently accurate macro-velocity model, whereas a multifoc...

The geothermal waters of south hot spring, small hot spring and Qiaokouba in Chongqing, are all part of the south hot spring geothermal water system. Exploitation has caused a decline in the water levels of the south and small hot springs, which have not flowed naturally for 15 years. Now, bores pum...

A numerical method was used in order to establish the constitutive relationship of sands under different stress paths. Firstly, based on the numerical method modeling the constitutive law of sands, the elastoplasticcon stitutive relationship of sand was established for three paths: the constant prop...

With the rapid development of water facilities, hydroelectric projects, highways and railways in China, beam-anchor reinforcement has been widely used to stabiliZe slopes in recent years. But the theory for the design of beam-anchor reinforcement is far behind the application. Cross beam-ground anch...

Due to complicated rock structure and environment, a prototype test for a tunnel-type anchorage is infeasible. Based on the rock mass parameters from tests, a three-dimensional (3D) elasto-plastic analysis was performed to simulate the influence of the construction procedure of Siduhe bridge with tu...
