GEOPHYSICS: Rough Core

Geophysics. A new paradigm for Earth's core-mantle boundary.

Geophysics. Are Earth's core and mantle on speaking terms?

Rough Margin Based Core Vector Machine

1 The recently proposed rough margin based support vector machine (RMSVM) could tackle the overfitting problem due to outliers effectively with the help of rough margins. However, the standard solvers for them are time consuming and not feasible for large datasets. On the other hand, the core vector machine (CVM) is an optimization technique based on the minimum enclosing ball that can scale up...

Reservoir geophysics

The concept of petroleum reservoir geophysics is relatively new. In the past, the role of geophysics was largely confined to exploration and, to a lesser degree, the development of discoveries. As cost-efficiency has taken over as a driving force in the economics of the oil and gas industry and as major assets near abandonment, geophysics has increasingly been recognized as a tool for improving...

Success with Geophysics: Archaeology

Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) has recently gained a wide acceptance in the archaeological community as a method to quickly and accurately locate buried archaeological features, artifacts, and important cultural and geological strata in the near-surface. The GPR method has now become one of the primary tools for geophysical feature identification primarily because of its three-dimensional abili...
