The Northern Giona Fault Zone, a Major Active Structure Through Central Greece by Leonidas Gouliotis, Dimitrios Papanikolaou

“…Fault scarps are observed all along the 14 km length of the Northern Giona fault accompanied by cataclastic zones, separating the carbonate formations of the Parnassos Unit from thick scree, slide blocks, boulders and olistholites. Inversion of fault-slip data has shown a mean slip vector of 45°, N004°E, which aligns with the current regional extensional deformation of the area, as confirmed by focal mechanism solutions. …”

Multi-Fidelity Surrogate Modeling via Hierarchical Kriging With Infinite-Width Bayesian Neural Network Correlation Function by Youwei He, Jiangshuo Cui

“…In practice, for a problem with more than 1000 variables, it is often not affordable to build such HK model due to the high demand on the computer memory to store the spatial distance matrix and the heavy computational burden relating to the frequent inversion of the large correlation matrix. To mitigate the curse of dimensionality of HK for high-dimensional problems, an infinite-width Bayesian neural network correlation function is developed and incorporated to the HK model. …”
