Identifying long-term seismic activity patterns is crucial for understanding how fault systems evolve, as well as for estimating the probability of future earthquakes. But seismic records date back ...

Tectonically active mountains play an important role in the natural CO2 regulation of the atmosphere. Competing processes take place here: At Earth's surface, erosion drives weathering processes that ...

In addition to man-made CO 2 emissions, many natural processes—both biological and geological—also play a role in balancing the global CO 2 budget. Mountain landscapes strongly modulate the carbon ...
