This article deals with the topical problem of estimating water content in water–oil mixtures within porous media they saturate, according to low-field NMR relaxometry and dielectric spectroscopy. The aim of the research is experimental validat...

Hand-held ground penetrating radar (GPR) systems have been widely applied to landmine detections during recent decades. The accuracy of an imaging result by migration for a hand-held GPR is strongly related to the accuracy of subsurface velocity dist...

Velocity is one of the most important parameters to evaluate the damaging potential of a mass movement, but its assessment, especially for extremely rapid landslides, is a complex task. In the literature, several models to assess mass movement veloci...

Identifying the locations of hydrothermal chimneys across mapped areas of seafloor spreading ridges unlocks the ability to research questions about their correlations to geology, the cooling of the lithosphere, and deep-sea biogeography. We developed...

New investigations in the Western Caucasus contribute to the understanding of granite pseudokarst (sensu lato) and megaclasts linked to river erosion. A plot on the bank of the Belaya River (Mountainous Adygeya, Western Caucasus) was selected to exam...

This paper presents a philosophical examination of classical rock engineering problems as the basis to move from traditional knowledge to radical (innovative) knowledge. While this paper may appear abstract to engineers and geoscientists more accusto...

After more than forty years since the 1980 Irpinia-Lucania earthquake, with this Special Issue “The 23 November 1980 Irpinia-Lucania, Southern Italy Earthquake: Insights and Reviews 40 Years Later” we revisit this milestone geological and...

In order to design a geoeducation program in the context of the possibilities given to the Experimental Schools of Greece of Lower Secondary Education, teachers identified the need for diagnostically assess students’ understanding of basic conc...

This paper describes a research study related to the development (conception, production, implementation and evaluation) of a set of transmedia activities associated with the study of humans ‘use of rocks. To do so, a narrative was created to g...

Mass movements are linked to increasing amounts of damage and disruptions to transportation infrastructures. A valid risk assessment in order to reduce future costs is not always appropriate, as adequate information on landslide data is missing. The...
