The electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) method has been increasingly integrated with hydrogeological risk mitigation strategies to monitor the internal conditions and the stability of natural and artificial slopes. In this paper, we discuss a cas...

The present study focuses on analysis of the soil cover structure (SCS, SCSs), which is the most detailed level of soil organization in space. The detail in which complex SCS can be studied is often insufficient, since until now it has not been possi...

Soil, geochemical, microbiological, and archeological studies were conducted at eight settlements dating from the Paleolithic to Late Medieval and Modern Ages near the southern Trans-Urals Mountains, Russia. The forest-steppe landscapes, rivers, and...

Using the data of radon accumulation in a chamber with excess volume at one of the points of the Kamchatka subsurface gas-monitoring network, the change in radon flux density due to seismic waves and post-seismic relaxation of the medium is shown. A...

We propose the hypothesis that dune gullies and seasonal “meteorological” appearances observed on the same dunes (e.g., frosting) may have a common origin. These gullies are difficult to explain through the action of liquid flow. The occu...

Published Sn isotope data along with 150 new analyses of cassiterite and four granite analyses constrain two major tin isotope fractionation steps associated with (1) separation of tin from the magma/orthomagmatic transitional environment and (2) hyd...

This study considers the features of the chemical composition, internal structure, and oscillatory zoning of sulfosalts and sulfates in the epithermal high–intermediate-sulfidation-type Au-Ag-Te Emmy deposit (Khabarovsk Territory, Russia). In E...

The northeastern region of India is one of the six most seismically active convergent plate tectonic areas in the world. The north–south convergence along the Indo-Tibetan Himalayan Ranges and the east–west subduction within the Indo-Burm...

The Lucanian site of Laurelli represents one of the largest, still poorly investigated, pre-Roman archaeological sites of the Cilento, Vallo di Diano and Alburni Geopark (southern Italy). The site lies on a large, low-relief surface in the upper port...

Water scarcity in coastal tourist areas constitutes a critical environmental and socioeconomic sustainability issue. Hence, it is crucial to implement an integrated water resource management and protection plan. In this research, the DPSIR framework...

In the presented paper, an approach to assessing the size of the plastic deformation zone around a circular cavity intersecting a crushed disintegrated layer in tectonically stressed massive rock is suggested. Fractured rock zones of different qualit...

In the last decades, the scientific community has been focused on searching earthquake signatures in the Earth’s atmosphere, ionosphere, and magnetosphere. This work investigates an offshore Mw 5.5 earthquake that struck off the Marche region&r...

Fluid–soil interaction plays a pivotal role in various geotechnical engineering applications, as it significantly influences processes such as erosion, sediment transport, and soil stability. Modeling fluid–soil particle interactions in t...

This study investigates the application of Compositional Data Analysis (CoDA) and multivariate statistical techniques to geochemical data from the soils of the Campania region. The dataset examined includes 3571 soil samples analyzed for 37 chemical...

Thermal conductivity is a decisive parameter in all geothermal applications. In addition to the influencing factors of density, saturation, porosity, temperature and pressure, it is, above all, the geochemical and mineralogical composition that deter...

In order to consider the effect of fabric anisotropy in the analysis of geotechnical boundary value problems, this study proposes a modified model based on a fabric-based modified Cam-clay model, which can account for the anisotropic response of soil...

Despite ongoing efforts to enhance coal rib stability, the underground coal mining sector continues to face incidents of rib failure, leading to injuries and fatalities. The development and validation of effective rib support systems are crucial for...

We observed high-quality waves from a repeatable airgun seismic source recorded by a linear ultra-dense seismic array across the Xiliushui fault zone, one of the inactive faults in the Qilian Mountain, on the northeastern margin of the Tibetan Platea...

The Peruvian Amazon faces an increasing threat of soil erosion, driven by unsustainable agricultural practices and accelerated deforestation. In Neshuya (Ucayali region), agricultural activity has intensified since 2014, but the effect on soil erosio...

The study of the influence of geological structure (e.g., faults) on radon emanations is usually applicable provided that there are conditionally background (control) territories with which radon indicators will be compared. In the presented study, w...

This study analyses the Roman hydraulic system linked to Las Médulas gold mining complex in Northwest Iberia. The research includes a detailed mapping and assessment of the hydraulic network, which extends over 1110 km, using advanced geomatic...

The hydrosphere is an element of the climate system and changes in the latter are reasonably projected over the river outflow. Climatic changes, however, are unevenly distributed over the Earth, and understanding their regional imprint on the hydrosp...

The conservation of the olive ridley turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea) is increasingly critical due to declining global populations. This study investigates the influence of hydrometeorological conditions on the nesting season and annual hatchling sex r...

This study investigates the depositional environments and soft sediment deformation within the Early Jurassic Ammonitico Rosso Formation in the External Ionian Basin (Western Greece), focusing on its biostratigraphy, sedimentology, and tectonic activ...

The Ross Sea I glaciation, marked by the northward advance of the Ross Ice Sheet (RIS) in the Ross Sea, east Antarctica, corresponds with the last major expansion of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet during the last glacial period. During its advance, the...

Noise profoundly affects the quality of electromagnetic data, and selecting the appropriate hyperparameters for machine learning models poses a significant challenge. Consequently, the current machine learning denoising techniques fall short in deliv...

Initiatives such as the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development and Seabed 2030 promote seabed mapping worldwide. In Brazil, especially on the Espírito Santo Continental Shelf, high-resolution seabed mapping has reve...

Rock masses comprise intact rock and discontinuities, such as fractures, which significantly influence their mechanical and hydraulic properties. Uncertainty in constructing the fracture network can notably affect the outcomes of sensitive analyses,...

Orogens are broadly grouped into accretionary and collisional types [...]

We present a sensitivity analysis on the impact of input parameters and methods used on the results of a probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA). The accurate estimation of the parameters in recurrence models (declustering and fitting methods)...

The photoelectric Factor (PEF) log is a powerful tool for distinguishing between siliciclastic and carbonate lithofacies in well-log analysis and 2D correlations. However, its application in complex reservoirs has some challenges due to well spacing....

This study aims to establish a scientific and methodological basis for predicting shoreline positions using modern data analysis and machine learning techniques. The focus area is a 5 km section of the Ural coast along Baydaratskaya Bay in the Kara S...

Along the southern North Sea coast from the Netherlands to Denmark, human cultivation efforts have created a unique cultural landscape. Since the Middle Ages, these interactions between humans and natural forces have induced major coastal changes. In...
