  • Earthquake Hazard Study in Azerbaijan on the Basis of Stress and Strain State Distribution Using CASMO Model and Topography-Induced Elements
    Geophysical Research Abstracts Vol. 21, EGU2019-3551-1, 2019 EGU General Assembly 2019 © Author(s) 2019. CC Attribution 4.0 license. Earthquake hazard study in Azerbaijan on the basis of stress and strain state distribution using CASMO model and topography-induced elements Gulam Babayev (1), Elnara Akhmedova (2), and Fakhraddin Kadirov (Gadirov) (1) (1) Geology and Geophysics Institute, Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences, Baku, Azerbaijan ([email protected]), (2) Baku State University, Ministry of Education, Baku, Azerbaijan ([email protected]) Seismicity is the severest stress-induced geohazard in the Caucasian area. The risk resulting from this geohazard is substantial. Earthquakes result from stress concentrations at zones of weakness. Besides, the influence of topography anomaly on the stress-strain state of the lithosphere is essential. One approach to advance the level of hazard assessment is to perform geodynamic models to compute stress concentrations within the crust. In line with studying the stress and strain state using CASMO model, this study also concentrates on a specific aspect of the contemporary tectonic stressof the Caucasus lithosphere (Azerbaijan), the component that is caused by topography, which itself is an expression of density distribution and processes at depth as well as on the surface. In the paper, stress-strain state was studied by the finite element method with the application of software packages HypermeshTM and AbaqusTM. Based on the plotted models of stress-strain state of lithosphere, the orientations and localization of the horizontal stress axes at the various lithosphere depths were determined. The correlation of those stress axes was done with the stress map plotted on the basis of focal mechanism solutions of the earthquake occurred in Azerbaijan within the period of 1990-2016 years with the application of CASMO (“World Stress Map”) technique.

  • The Science of Climate Change
    THE SCIENCE OF CLIMATE CHANGE A joint statement issued by the Australian Academy of Sciences, Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Sciences and the Arts, Brazilian Academy of Sciences, Royal Society of Canada, Caribbean Academy of Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, French Academy of Sciences, German Academy of Natural Scientists Leopoldina, Indian National Science Academy, Indonesian Academy of Sciences, Royal Irish Academy, Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei (Italy), Academy of Sciences Malaysia, Academy Council of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, and Royal Society (UK). The work of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) represents the consensus of the international scientific community on climate change science. We recognise IPCC as the world’s most reliable source of information on climate change and its causes, and we endorse its method of achieving this consensus. Despite increasing consensus on the science underpinning predictions of global climate change, doubts have been expressed recently about the need to mitigate the risks posed by global climate change. We do not consider such doubts justified. There will always be some uncertainty surrounding the prediction of changes in such a complex system as the world’s climate. Nevertheless, we support the IPCC’s conclusion that it is at least 90% certain that temperatures will continue to rise, with average global surface temperature projected to increase by between 1.4 and 5.8oC above 1990 levels by 2100 1. This increase will be accompanied by rising sea levels, more intense precipitation events in some countries, increased risk of drought in others, and adverse effects on agriculture, health and water resources.

  • Open Data in Science in Europe
    Open Data in Science in Europe Statement by the European Members of the International Council for Science1 The following recommendations are based on the workshop “Open Data in Science: Challenges and Opportunities for Europe” that took place under the patronage of the European Members of the International Council for Science (ICSU) and in partnership with the All European Academies (ALLEA) in Brussels on 31 January 2018. The event benefited from presentations by representatives of science organisations, public research funders, the publishing and the policy sector, and input from the 80 meeting participants from across Europe and representing science academies, research performers, funding bodies, international science organisations and government agencies. General Publicly funded scientists make their research data available in reusable format in order to enhance the quality and effectiveness of science and as a contribution to help address societal and environmental challenges. The following elements are necessary for a conducive environment. FAIR Principles The FAIR Principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) serve as aspirational objectives for scientists to make data available in such a way that they can be used for other research, and to allow the verification of research results to enhance their quality, robustness and reliability. Science academies help operationalise and implement the FAIR Principles. Data repositories Trustworthy data repositories ensure long-term preservation of Open Data. They are reliable, minimally support FAIR metadata, and their data stewardship adequately caters for privacy, security and intellectual property issues, especially in relation to personal data. For that purpose, and to help increase the number of certified trustworthy data repositories, science academies recommend their use and support the work of the World Data System (WDS) of the International Council for Science.

    A Survey of the Members of IAP: The Global Network of Science Academies © Academy of Science of South Africa October 2015 ISBN 978-0-9946852-0-9 Published by: Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf) PO Box 72135, Lynnwood Ridge, Pretoria, South Africa, 0040 Tel: +27 12 349 6600 • Fax: +27 86 576 9520 E-mail: [email protected] Reproduction is permitted, provided the source and publisher are appropriately acknowledged. The Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf) was inaugurated in May 1996. It was formed in response to the need for an Academy of Science consonant with the dawn of democracy in South Africa: activist in its mission of using science and scholarship for the benefit of society, with a mandate encompassing all scholarly disciplines that use an open-minded and evidence-based approach to build knowledge. ASSAf thus adopted in its name the term ‘science’ in the singular as reflecting a common way of enquiring rather than an aggregation of different disciplines. Its Members are elected on the basis of a combination of two principal criteria, academic excellence and significant contributions to society. The Parliament of South Africa passed the Academy of Science of South Africa Act (Act 67 of 2001), which came into force on 15 May 2002. This made ASSAf the only academy of science in South Africa officially recognised by government and representing the country in the international community of science academies and elsewhere. 2 WOMEN FOR SCIENCE: Inclusion and Participation in Academies of Science Table of Contents List of
