摘要: CALIFORNIA is overdue for a major earthquake on the southern San Andreas fault, which could be down to the absence of a large lake that may have triggered past quakes. 关键词: CALIFORNIA major earthquake triggered past quakes DOI: 10.1016/S0262-4079(23)01081-3 年份: 2023 收藏...
There’s another source of pollution in the valley that poses a major risk, though it’s only starting to make itself felt: the Salton Sea. An enormous blue void at the north end of the Imperial Valley, the Salton Sea once attracted more visitors than Yosemite. But California’s largest ...

Ephemeral ponds and lakes are essential breeding sites for desert amphibians. Even small ephemeral lakes can attract large numbers of breeding amphibians. In a 5ha playa lake in southern New Mexico, the estimated numbers of breeding adult anurans (calling males and gravid females) were: 3000Scaphio...
For example, the Caspian Sea in Azerbaijan, the Aral Sea in Kazakhstan, the Salton Sea in California and the Dead Sea and Sea of Galilee in Israel and Jordan are all lakes. Conversely, Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela and Lake Burullus in Egypt are coastal sea lagoons that each has a permanent...

The Bécancour River in southern Quebec (Canada) has evolved under the influence of the long asbestos mining history of the Thetford Mines region (1877–2011 Common Era; CE). This river originates at the outflow of Lake Bécancour, flows through the old mining sites, and then widens to succ...
There is, therefore, a pressing need for high-quality paleoclimate reconstructions from southern Britain. On the British mainland, the most southerly, terrestrially glaciated margins of the BIIS where LGIT lake sequences have been identified are in south Wales (Walker, 1982a, Walker, 1982b; ...
The factors that govern the geographical distribution of nitrogen fixation are fundamental to providing accurate nitrogen budgets in aquatic environments. Model-based insights have demonstrated that regional hydrodynamics strongly impact nitrogen fixatio
However, other records suggest that the humid climate in this area already began in the early Holocene9,14, and is highly correlated with southern Chinese speleothem isotope records15. Our experience reveals that geomorphological processes also determine the hydrological conditions in this area16, ...
