Mathematical Expression of Geologic Boundary Based on Logical Model of Geologic Stracture

Health benefits of geologic materials and geologic processes.

The reemerging field of Medical Geology is concerned with the impacts of geologic materials and geologic processes on animal and human health. Most medical geology research has been focused on health problems caused by excess or deficiency of trace elements, exposure to ambient dust, and on other geologically related health problems or health problems for which geoscience tools, techniques, or ...

Geologic Storage of CO2

Dynamic imaging provides an effective way to integrate previous time-lapse data with current data in order to estimate a current model. We present two methods useful for continuous dynamic reservoir and subsurface monitoring. The first method is a stochastic method for the inversion of geophysical data. It uses the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) that we demonstrate using time-lapse surface seism...

Geologic Constraints on Seismic Inversion

Velocity model estimation from seismic data using prestack depth migration is an un-derdetermined problem: there are many subtly diierent models which are not kinematically equivalent. As these models can give rise to dramatically diierent interpretations and decisions there is a clear need for a selection criterion in order to choose the "best" (i.e. geologically most plausible) one. Interpret...

Sonic velocities of geologic fluids, such as volcanic magmas and geothermal fluids, can be as low as 1 m/s. Critical velocities in large rivers can be of the order of 1-10 m/s. Because velocities of fluids moving in these settings can exceed these characteristic velocities, sonic and supersonic gas flow and critical and supercritical shallow-water flow can occur. The importance of the low chara...
