Optimising ice flow law parameters using borehole deformation measurements and numerical modelling by David Chandler, Bryn Hubbard, Alun Hubbard, Tavi Murray, David Rippin

“…Results suggest that a linear rheology dominated by diffusion creep (n = 1) is more appropriate for modelling ice flow in this relatively thin (generally <80 m thick) glacier than the conventional n = 3, and that ELZ is ∼2. For n = 1, the predicted ice crystal size and value of ELZ are both consistent with measurements made on ice cores recovered from the glacier, providing independent support for the optimization technique and the linear creep model.…”

STRUCTURAL AND DYNAMIC DISTRIBUTION PATTERNS OF OIL FIELDS IN THE CENTRAL PART OF THE VOLGA-URAL ANTECLISE by S. Yu. Kolodyazhny, A. I. Nekrasov

“…The proposed structural-dynamic model and ideas about compression – decompression regularities of hydrocarbon redistribution in the shear zones can be used for prediction and detection of new deposits. In particular, the dynamic analogues of the Arlan oil field in the east part of the SK zone can be found within the poorly studied western flank of this zone.…”

Generation of enigmatic equatorial ionospheric plasma blobs during the 17 March 2015 super geomagnetic storm period over the Indian region by Ramkumar Thokuluwa

“…The present work makes it clear that the concept of enhancement in the equatorial ionosphere electron density and the generation of ionospheric plasma blobs during geomagnetic storm period needs to be well taken into account in the physics-based global ionospheric models like the Whole Atmospheric Community Climate – Extended (WACCMX) and SAMI3 is the another model of the ionosphere (SAMI3) as they failed to generate them as reported elsewhere. Further it stresses the importance of successful prediction of severely-modified ionosphere-conditions particularly during geomagnetic storm periods as flawless radio communications between the earth and the outer space face huge challenges even today.…”
