Analysis of Economic Vitality and Development Equilibrium of China’s Three Major Urban Agglomerations Based on Nighttime Light Data by Saimiao Liu, Wenliang Liu, Yi Zhou, Shixin Wang, Zhenqing Wang, Zhuochen Wang, Yanchao Wang, Xinran Wang, Luoyao Hao, Futao Wang

“…Among them, the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) urban agglomeration experienced the fastest economic growth, while the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) exhibited the strongest economic strength. (2) Both economic vitality and the development equilibrium in these three urban agglomerations exhibited distinct spatial agglomeration characteristics, namely center-surrounding distribution, coastal–inland distribution, and radial belt–pole distribution, respectively. (3) Over the past two decades, the economic development of these three urban agglomerations has progressed towards the pattern of regional coordinated development, pole-driven development and urban–rural integrated development. …”

Features of the modelled stress-strain state dynamics prior to the M7.1 2019 Ridgecrest earthquake in Southern California by Bondur V., Gokhberg M., Garagash I., Alekseev Dmitry Aleksandrovich

“…SS parameters have been calculated using a detailed geomechanical model, taking into account an ongoing weak seismicity catalog data. Cyclic patterns are identified in the observed shear strain anomalies, with estimation of their spatial and temporal characteristics, and an attempt is made to track the influence of the local displacement direction and periodic migration of shear strain anomalies in the upper crust on the earthquake preparation. …”

Characteristics of feeding migrations of hatchery juveniles of pacific salmon in the basin of Okhotsk Sea and adjacent Pacific waters in the autumn-winter period (regional identifi... by A. V. Bugaev, A. I. Gerlits

“…The study is based on materials (otolith samples, biological indices) collected in the trawl surveys conducted by TINRO, as well as on international statistics on releases and tagging of pacific salmon at the Russian and Japanese hatcheries. The main patterns of intraspecific structure, migration routes, spatial distribution, and volumes of catch are determined for these species, as well as the size-weight parameters of fish originated from different regions. …”

A Comparative Study of Methods for Estimating the Thickness of Glacial Debris: A Case Study of the Koxkar Glacier in the Tian Shan Mountains by Jun Liu, Yan Qin, Haidong Han, Qiudong Zhao, Yongqiang Liu

“…The results indicate that (1) all three debris thickness estimation approaches effectively capture the distribution characteristics of glacial debris, although empirical relationship approach 2 outperforms the others in describing the spatial patterns; (2) the accuracy of each approach varies depending on the debris thickness, with the energy balance of debris approach being most accurate for debris less than 50 cm thick, while empirical relationship approach 1 performs better for debris thicker than 50 cm and empirical relationship approach 2 demonstrates the highest overall accuracy; and (3) topographic factors, particularly the elevation, significantly influence the accuracy of debris thickness estimates. …”
