More importantly, it shows that our method has high shallow resolution, which is helpful to define the shallow small-scale geological structures.
Then we introduce this parameter into the GBM, which not only improves imaging quality of deep reflectors but also makes the shallow small-scale geological structures well-defined.
Due to the predicted low dispersal abilities in meiofaunal taxa, relatively small-scale geological disruptive events (via landslides or formation of rivers) might form a (temporary) barrier for gene flow, proving time for ecological diversification and reproductive boundaries to evolve.
The deep rooting favoured a large-scale fault propagation type of folding, whereas shallow-seated rooting favoured a small-scale fault propagation type of folding and block rotations.
Some small-scale paleo-faults exist, but no large faults have been found within the basin (Wan and Zeng 2002; Yang et al. 2013).
However, in practice, catastrophic faults rarely occur, while small-scale faults are more likely to occur.
We find that small-scale faulting and fracturing at Yucca Mountain is variable and is strongly controlled by larger scale fault system architecture.
Fault-containing self-stabilizing protocols promise not only self-stabilization but also containment of the effect of small-scale faults, i.e., they promise quick recovery and small effect for small-scale faults.
These steep (65° 85°), small-scale faults are characterized by throws of 5 25 ms TWT and show a tendency to merge laterally and vertically with adjacent faults.

It is also important to examine how the aftershock productivity is related to rupture process of the mainshock, geological structure such as fault segmentation, small-scale velocity heterogeneity, intrinsic absorption, and so on.
