High-pressure air injection (HPAI) is an enhanced oil recovery process in which compressed air is injected into deep, light oil reservoirs, with the expectation that the oxygen in the injected air will react with a fraction of the reservoir oil at an...

Anthropogenic global challenges and environmental pressures are increasingly significant. Developing pro-environmental behavior and geoethics is crucial for enhancing awareness, action capability, and respect for natural systems. UNESCO Global Geopar...

Reservoir quality prediction in deeply buried reservoirs represents a complex challenge to geoscientists. In sandstones, reservoir quality is determined by the extent of compaction and cementation during burial. During compaction, porosity is lost th...

The Kribi-Campo sub-basin, located in the Gulf of Guinea, constitutes the southeastern segment of the Cameroon Atlantic Margin. Drilling in the Aptian salt unit revealed a sparse hydrocarbon presence, contrasting with modest finds in its counterparts...

This study investigates public interest in geological disasters by analyzing Google Trends data from 2023. This research focuses on earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, and tsunamis to understand how search behaviors reflect public awareness a...

This study conducts a morphodynamic analysis of beaches located in the northern sector of the Gulf of Roses (NW Mediterranean, Spain). The primary objective is to investigate mid-short (2004–2020) term spatial and temporal variations in shoreli...

The mechanical behaviour of soils subjected to any stress path in which deviatoric stresses are present is heavily characterised by non-linearity, irreversibility and is strongly dependent on the initial state of stress. The latter, for the majority...

This study is focused on one of the most active features of the Hellenic Volcanic Arc Southern Aegean Sea, the Santorini Island Volcanic Complex (SVC). The recent volcano-tectonic crisis in the intracalderic area has emerged the need for closer monit...

The Storegga slide tsunami (SST) at ca. 8100 ± 100–250 cal BP is known to be the largest tsunami that affected the North Sea during the entire Holocene. Geological traces of tsunami landfall were discovered along the coasts of Norway, Sc...

A reinforced earth wall is a structure in which reinforcement materials are placed in an embankment to build a vertical or nearly vertical wall surface. Such walls have been widely used in roads and in developed land since around 1960. Reinforcement...
