Scope and Method of Study: Magnetotelluric and gravity surveys were conducted across the Wadi Kobbania in the Western Desert north of Aswan, Egypt. The Wadi Kobbania has been interpreted as the downstream continuation of the Wadi Abu Subeira, comprising an ancient western and no…

The transtensive North Shore segment of the southern San Andreas fault between the Mecca and Durmid Hills has minimal topographic expression and has historically experienced little to no slip. I conducted a comprehensive gravity survey consisting of 150 stations, and analyzed th…
A fundamental question in martian geology is whether bolide impact(s) or mantle convection caused the hemispheric dichotomy. Cross-cutting and superposed crustal features interpreted from the MGS topography, magnetic observations, gravity anomalies, and crustal thickness estimat…
In this thesis, I examine the function and logic of my process, research, and autobiographically based art practice. I address the theoretical concerns and art historical influences that ground and inform my work. Interiority and expansive space constitute the visual framework o…
The detection of gravitational waves (GWs) originating from a black hole (BH) binary merger in 2015 by LIGO marked the beginning of the age of GW astronomy. Another defining moment came in 2017 with the joint detection of GWs and their electromagnetic (EM) counterpart, beginning…
The collision of cosmic projectiles with a terrestrial planet’s surface forms topographic depressions, known as impact craters. Since planetary surfaces are continuously bombarded, these features can be observed on nearly all solid bodies in the Solar System. On airless bodies w…
Previous investigations have proposed multiple origin models to explain the formation of major tectonic structures, such as the Gamburtsev Subglacial Mountains (GSMs), the Wilkes Subglacial Basin (WSB), the Aurora Subglacial Basin (ASB), and the Transantarctic Mountains (TAMs) i…
Nothing to See Here: Stages for Latent Revolutions. In Genesis 2:7 (19822), God instructs Adam and Eve: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die (Genesis 1982:2). The Bible later st…
The last deglacial history of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS), the world’s largest freshwater reservoir, is important for monitoring the current AIS change and projecting the future sea-level rise trend. However, due to the lack of direct observational constraints on AIS last degl…
The physical characteristics of a reservoir will always be important to understand, whether the goal is to maximize production of a hydrocarbon reservoir or predict the effects of a CO2 storage operation. Having a means to improve a reservoir model will help better determine the…
This book takes the reader for a short journey over the structures of matter showing that their main properties can be obtained even at a quantitative level with a minimum background knowledge including first year calculus, the basic principles of quantum mechanics and the exten…
"Einstein's Enigma or Black Holes in My Bubble Bath is a humourous and informal rendition of the story of gravitation theory from the early historic origins to the latest developments in astrophysics, focusing on Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity and black-hole phys…
Gauge/gravity duality creates new links between quantum theory and gravity. It has led to new concepts in mathematics and physics, and provides new tools to solve problems in many areas of theoretical physics. This book is the first textbook on this important topic, enabling gra…
