Ice Ages - What happened in the tropics?
In the North, we all know about the Ice Age. We generally agree that about 2 million years ago we started the Pleistocene Epoch. I'm not totally convinced that the day before this was all sunshine and roses, since subsequent glaciations would have removed all evidence. I'm fairly convinced this is tied in with Plate Tectonics and big earthquakes, since that is what I do. :) So, at 60Call for papers: Regional moment tensors and stress field in South and Central America
Our colleague Franck Audemard spread the news that a special issue of the Journal of South American Earth Sciences (SAMES) will be published on “Regional moment tensors and stress field in South and Central America”. Given the success of the RMTS (Regional Moment-Tensor Solution) session in the IASPEI Regional Assembly in Bogotá, last July, a special issue is now planned on all aspects of moment-tensors and stress field. Deadlines: First submissions expected in December 2014 [...]The Wild Oakland walk on the Hayward fault
