Danielle has taught middle school science and has a doctorate degree in Environmental Health Wind shear is the change in speed and direction of wind over a short distance. It is most often caused by microbursts (really small yet intense downbursts from thunderstorms), temperature inversions (whe...
In subject area: Earth and Planetary Sciences Where μ is the shear modulus of the unstressed rock (with an isotropic distribution of cracks), Pc is a characteristic crack closing pressure, σ0 is normal stress, and B=BN/BT is the ratio of normal to tangential compliances of individual crac...

Slope stabilization makes use of conventional methods including earth retaining structures and drainage. Recently, microbial-induced calcite mineralization has been proposed to mitigate landslide risks, with field data revealing slower displacement rates for the bio-stabilized zone compared to non-stabilized ...
A continental-scale strike-slip shear zone frequently presents a long-lasting deformation and physical expression of strain localization in a middle to lower crustal level. However, the deformation evolution of strain localization at a small-scale remains unclear. This study investigated <10 cm wide ...

In the Earth’s core, the predicted thickness of the laminar Ekman layer is of the order of 1 m. Nevertheless, they have a finite range of stability, and in some situations they play an important role in the larger-scale dynamics. Early experiments by Faller (1963) have identified two ...
