Replication Data for "Progressive development of E-W extension across the Tibetan plateau: A case study of the Thakkhola graben, west-central Nepal"
No full textFull analytical data in support of the manuscript "Progressive development of E-W extension across the Tibetan plateau: A case study of the Thakkhola graben, west-central Nepal", submitted to International Geology Review
The Thakkhola graben is a large-scale N-S striking, E-W extensional structure located in west-central Nepal that previous work has shown was actively developing ~ 17 Myr ago. New multi-system geochronological data from the immediate footwall of the Dangardzong fault, the main graben-forming structure in the Thakkhola, outline decelerating cooling paths. The average cooling rate in the footwall of the Dangardzong fault changes from 55 ± 5 ˚C/Ma in the early Miocene (~ 22-13) defined by monazite U-Th/Pb pluton crystallization ages, mica 40Ar/39Ar cooling ages and zircon U-Th/He ages, to 18 ± 7 ˚C/Ma in the middle to late Miocene (~13-8 Ma) between zircon and apatite U-Th/He ages, and finally to 6 ± 3 ˚C/Ma from the late Miocene to present day (cooling post apatite U-Th/He closure). The changing cooling rate is interpreted to reflect the widespread development of graben in the Tibetan plateau beginning in the middle Miocene and the progressive partitioning of strain away from the Thakkhola

Replication Data for 'Endogenous & Dangerous'
No full textThis study analyzed the relations of cases that judges cited in their judicial opinions to the cases that lawyers had cited in their persuasive memoranda to the courts in advance of the judicial opinions, considering how frequently and under what circumstances the judges cited cases that the lawyers had not. The findings appear in the journal article "Endogenous and Dangerous," in volume 22 of Nevada Law Journal, forthcoming 2022. This dataset supplements the dataset the author used for a previous article. Replication of the present study would require use both of the previous dataset and this supplementary one. See Brian N.

Pseudotachylytes in felsic lower-crustal rocks of the Calabrian Serre massif: A record of deep- or shallow-crustal earthquakes?
No full textPseudotachylytes (quenched frictional melts produced on a fault by seismic slip) in dry rocks exhumed from the mid-lower crust are potential indicators of earthquakes that either nucleated at, or propagated to, depths below the main shallow brittle-ductile transition zone. Establishing whether these pseudotachylytes effectively record deep-crustal earthquakes, or shallow-level earthquakes overprinting the mid-lower-crustal rocks during the exhumation path, may represent a major challenge. This challenge is mainly related to the fact that the mineral assemblage of a pseudotachylyte develops out of equilibrium during the coseismic thermal transient leading to melting and melt quenching. Here we investigate pseudotachylytes within peraluminous, sillimanite-garnet-rich, migmatitic paragneiss of the Serre Massif in Calabria (Southern Italy). These exhumed lower-crustal rocks experienced granulite-facies metamorphism (similar to 700-800 degree celsius; similar to 600-800 MPa), partial melting and dehydration during the late Variscan Orogeny (ca. 320-280 Ma). The crosscutting pseudotachylytes contain hercynite and sillimanite microlites, globular-shaped poikilitic cordierite and plagioclase, and rare cauliflower- to subhedral-shaped garnet. The pseudotachylytes are pristine, not affected by ductile deformation, recrystallisation or extensive alteration by fluid after their formation. A Rb-Sr isochron age of 51.4 +/- 5.1 Ma is obtained for the pervasively kinked biotite in the host rock immediately adjacent to the pseudotachylyte and associated with earthquake damage, while an age of 105.3 +/- 4.1 Ma is obtained for the undeformed host-rock biotite. This indicates that the granulites were cooler than the closing Rb-Sr temperature of biotite (ca. 300-400 degree celsius in the Cretaceous and that the studied pseudotachylytes formed by shallow seismic faulting. Therefore, sillimanite, hercynite, garnet, plagioclase, and cordierite all formed during quenching of the frictional melt well above the ambient temperature. Modelling of cordierite growth during melt quenching indicates that cordierite should have started to crystallise at T >900 degrees C to achieve the grain size (up to 10 mu m in diameter) observed in the pseudotachylyte. Modelling and microstructural observations allow the crystallisation sequence of microlites during melt cooling to be established. These microlites include cauliflower garnet which, in this case, did not develop in a deep-seated faulting context as commonly reported
Using a Semiprognostic Test to Elucidate Key Model Errors of Warm Rain Processes Within a Unified Parameterization of Clouds and Turbulence
No full textThe representation of clouds and turbulence remains one of the foremost challenges in modeling earth's climate system and continues to remain one of the greatest sources of uncertainty in future climate projections. Increased attention has been given to unifying cloud and turbulence parameterizations in order to avoid the artificial categorization of cloud and turbulence regimes. One such unified parameterization is known as the Cloud Layers Unified by Binormals (CLUBB). CLUBB is a single column model of clouds and turbulence that assumes subgrid scale variability can be represented by a joint probability density function (PDF) of temperature, moisture, momentum, and hydrometeors. An advantage of CLUBB's joint-PDF is that it allows for the interaction of microphysics and subgrid variability which may be important in unified parameterizations. In order to improve any parameterization, like CLUBB, 'key' model errors must first be diagnosed. This is complicated by numerous feedbacks within the model. In order to elucidate 'key' errors in CLUBB's representation of warm-rain processes, a semiprognostic test was performed in which CLUBB's joint-PDF was supplied with 'perfect' moments derived from a cloud resolving model. An idealized case of the transition from shallow to deep convection over land was used. It was shown that CLUBB's assumed correlations between hydrometeors play a major role in CLUBB's microphysical budgets. It was also shown that for highly skewed cases, CLUBB's current joint-PDF closure may inadequately represent the marginals of the subgrid scale atmopheric state. Finally, CLUBB's assumption that the skewness of temperature and moisture are proportional to the skewness of vertical velocity may break down in highly skewed cases such as the one tested here
