RIEDEL MEGASHEARS R' AND THE TREND TO GRAVITATIONAL EQUILIBRIUM AS MAIN FACTORS OF TSUNAMIGENIC EARTHQUAKES by M. A. Goncharov, E. A. Rogozhin, N. S. Frolova, P. N. Rozhin, V. S. Zakharov

“…Moreover, it is revealed that shears R', that develop poorly in samples made of wet clay (Figs. 8, 9, 12, and 13), cannot develop in a granulated medium such as a mixture of sand and solid oil (Fig. 10, 11, and 14) and do not develop in other granulated media (Fig. 17), which are similar to the block structure of the uppermost crust (Fig. 18–20). In such mediums, shears R result from joining of small echeloned tension joints. …”

Ficus insipida tree rings as biomonitors for gaseous elemental mercury in the artisanal gold mining-impacted Peruvian Amazon by Jacqueline Gerson, Igor Lehnherr, Taylor Luu, Bridget Bergquist, Natalie Szponar, Luis E. Fernandez, Luis E. Fernandez, Luis E. Fernandez, Claudia Vega, Claudia Vega, Trevor J. Porter

“…Trees accumulate atmospheric gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) in bolewood following stomatal uptake and thus have the potential to be used as biomonitors to quantify the spatial and temporal footprint of Hg emissions from ASGM.MethodsWe collected tree cores from Ficus insipida at three mining-impacted and two remote, unimpacted sites in the Peruvian Amazon (n = 4 trees per site).ResultsWe show that tree ring Hg concentrations were higher near ASGM activity located near mining towns (6.0 ng g−1) compared to remote sites (0.9 ng g−1) and recent tree rings were strongly linearly correlated with atmospheric GEM concentrations across all sites (p &lt; 0.0001, r2 = 0.64), especially in the dry season when there is enhanced ASGM activity (p &lt; 0.0001, r2 = 0.76), highlighting the potential for tree rings to be used as biomonitors for GEM. …”
