Sensitivity of Water Balance in the Qaidam Basin to the Mid‐Pliocene Climate
; ; ; ; ; ; (Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2021-08-11)
The Qaidam Basin (QB) in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau held a megalake system during the Pliocene. Today, the lower elevations in the basin are hyperarid. To understand to what extent the climate plays a role in the ... -
Distribution of Temperature and Strength in the Central Andean Lithosphere and Its Relationship to Seismicity and Active Deformation
; ; ; ; (Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2021-05-11)
We present three‐dimensional (3D) models of the present‐day steady‐state conductive thermal field and strength distribution in the lithosphere beneath the Central Andes. Our primary objective was to investigate the influence ... -
Overcoming the Model‐Data‐Fit Problem in Porous Media: A Quantitative Method to Compare Invasion‐Percolation Models to High‐Resolution Data
; ; ; ; (Water Resources Research, 2021-07-13)
Invasion percolation (IP) models offer a computationally inexpensive way to simulate multiphase flow in porous media, but only very few studies have compared their results to actual laboratory experimental image data. One ... -
Controls on Asymmetric Rift Dynamics: Numerical Modeling of Strain Localization and Fault Evolution in the Kenya Rift
; ; ; ; ; (Tectonics, 2021-05-10)
Complex, time‐dependent, and asymmetric rift geometries are observed throughout the East African Rift System (EARS) and are well documented, for instance, in the Kenya Rift. To unravel asymmetric rifting processes in this ... -
A ∼12 Myr Miocene Record of East Asian Monsoon Variability From the South China Sea
; ; ; (Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, 2021-07-01)
The long‐term evolution of the East Asian Monsoon and the processes controlling its variability under changing climate boundary conditions remain enigmatic. Here, we integrate new and published high‐resolution planktic and ...
