A number of chal- lenges and possibilities related to the oceans are highlighted in governmental strategies, including notably the Norwegian Government’s White Paper sub- mitted to the Norwegian parliament in 2017 and the Government’s Updated Ocean Strategy published in 2019.2 There is, in fact, good news as regards the toolbox provided by interna- tional law for policy-­­makers. A comprehensive, unified and universal legal framework exists for ocean and maritime spaces. This framework establishes a system of competencies and possibilities of proactive coordination, further regulation where necessary, and dispute settlement, together with a number of key principles and rules. It successfully promotes and integrates a variety of important goals, which previously could seem irreconcilable. Moreover, any further regulations must be fully consistent with this legal framework and not undermine the existing architecture.3 Instead of lawless black holes, issues of lack of compliance or implementation are unfortunately frequent. This framework did not appear overnight. It builds on a monumental series of building-­­blocks, imagine layer upon layer of legal mortar, stemming mainly from State practice and legislation, treaty- making and case- law. The result- ing masonry is solid. Its most sophisticated expression is found in the United 1 The author is solely responsible for this contribution, which was written before the author assumed his current position. 2 ‘The place of the oceans in Norway’s foreign and development policy’ – Meld.

  • 150 Geologic Facts About California
    California Geological Survey - 150th Anniversary 150 Geologic Facts about California California’s geology is varied and complex. The high mountains and broad valleys we see today were created over long periods of time by geologic processes such as fault movement, volcanism, sea level change, erosion and sedimentation. Below are 150 facts about the geology of California and the California Geological Survey (CGS). General Geology and Landforms 1 California has more than 800 different geologic units that provide a variety of rock types, mineral resources, geologic structures and spectacular scenery. 2 Both the highest and lowest elevations in the 48 contiguous states are in California, only 80 miles apart. The tallest mountain peak is Mt. Whitney at 14,496 feet; the lowest elevation in California and North America is in Death Valley at 282 feet below sea level. 3 California’s state mineral is gold. The Gold Rush of 1849 caused an influx of settlers and led to California becoming the 31st state in 1850. 4 California’s state rock is serpentine. It is apple-green to black in color and is often mottled with light and dark colors, similar to a snake. It is a metamorphic rock typically derived from iron- and magnesium-rich igneous rocks from the Earth’s mantle (the layer below the Earth’s crust). It is sometimes associated with fault zones and often has a greasy or silky luster and a soapy feel. 5 California’s state fossil is the saber-toothed cat. In California, the most abundant fossils of the saber-toothed cat are found at the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles.

Particular uncertainties 10 concern how stresses around a magma reservoir relate to fracturing as the reservoir roof collapses, 11 and how roof collapse in turn impacts upon the reservoir. We used two-dimensional Distinct 12 Element Method models to characterise the evolution of stress around a depleting sub-surface 13 magma body during gravity-driven collapse of its roof. These models illustrate how principal stress 14 directions rotate during progressive deformation so that roof fracturing transitions from initial 15 reverse faulting to later normal faulting. They also reveal four end-member stress paths to fracture, 16 each corresponding to a particular location within the roof. Analysis of these paths indicates that 17 fractures associated with ultimate roof failure initiate in compression (i.e. as shear fractures).
