Cover Story: Minimally invasive geophysical and geochemical methods can help to define variations in soil physical properties or soil element concentrations as proxy indicators of hidden past human occupation. This paper presents the results of a study exploring the potential of magnetic susceptibility and phosphate soil analyses to locate buried Neolithic settlements in Thessaly, Greece. Using the preliminary results of large-area magnetometer surveys, soil samples were collected at three sites along exploratory lines and augers targeting the locations of possible features of interest, including habitational structures and enclosures. The results demonstrated the capability of these analyses to detect the sites, outline hotspots, and better interpret the features identified in the magnetometer results. View this paper

  • Dominique Gibert and
  • Jean-Louis Le Mouël

In this paper, the 1978–2022 series of northern (NHSI) and southern (SHSI) hemisphere sea ice extent are submitted to singular spectral analysis (SSA). The trends are quasi-linear, decreasing for NHSI (by 58,300 km2/yr) and increasing for SHSI...

Full Waveform Inversion Based on an Asymptotic Solution of Helmholtz Equation

  • Maxim Protasov,
  • Kirill Gadylshin,
  • Dmitry Neklyudov and
  • Ludek Klimes

This study considers the full waveform inversion (FWI) method based on the asymptotic solution of the Helmholtz equation. We provide frequency-dependent ray tracing to obtain the wave field used to compute the FWI gradient and calculate the modeled d...

A key issue for the estimation of ground shaking is the proper selection of input motions at the seismic bedrock. At the same time, the effect of the input motion scaling strategy on structural response is typically studied disregarding the presence...

Earthquake-induced liquefaction is always a concern when the soil near the surface of a site is composed of relatively loose saturated sand. One of liquefaction mitigation methods is to induce gas bubbles into the deposit to reduce the degree of satu...

The estimation of urban irrigation water requirements has often been approached from an agricultural perspective. This approach is flawed, as the intention of estimating agricultural water is to optimize yield. Recent studies have reported that urban...
