A novel method for imitating true-triaxial stress path with conventional triaxial apparatus

Abstract The stress paths of the cylindrical specimen in the p–q stress space by controlling the ratio of the axial and the radial loading is guaranteed to be consistent with the cuboid specimen, a novel method for imitating true-triaxial s...

Crustal rheology controls on the Tibetan plateau formation during India-Asia convergence

Tibetan plateau deformation is variable, but what controls those variations is still poorly understood. Here, the authors use 3D numerical models to show that the variations observed in lithosphere deformation are controlled by heterogeneit...

Modernizing GNSS data acquisition, pre-processing, and distribution at volcanological observatories

In recent years, the field of geodetic monitoring is undergoing a profound transformation driven by the transition from GPS-only positioning to a fully multi-GNSS environment. With Galileo, BeiDou, and modernized GPS & GLONASS constella...

Completing the picture of field-grown cereal crops: a new method for detailed leaf surface models in wheat
