Self-Organized Criticality in Plate Tectonics,s which model the mechanical deformations and ruptures of large continental plates are presented and analyzed. Comparison with a field theory suggests that plate tectonics maybe one of the best natural realization of self-organized criticality, viewed front the point of vue of both fractal growth pr

We obtain analytical results for the striation thickness distribution (STD) which at long times turns to be universal. These results are in very good agreement with the direct numerical modeling.

,Localized and “Blinking” Traveling Wave Patterns in a Convective Binary Mixture, in this system, in both theory and experiment, was aroused due to advantages to perform a well-controlled experiment and the relative simplicity of theoretical models. Both these factors permit conducting quantitative comparison of experimental and theoretical results. The large variety of TW patte

The travelling waves, steady convection, the transition from the roll pattern to the polygon pattern and the type-I intermittency route to chaos were observed and recorded on the video. The properties of the vertical velocity structure function were determined.
