Infrared thermography is a growing technology in the engineering geological field both for remote survey of rock masses and as laboratory tool non-destructive characterization intact rock. In this latter case, its utility can be found either from qualitative point view, highlighting thermal contrasts on surface, or quantitative involving study surface temperature variations. Since an object pro...

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) provide a good framework for solving classical problems in the earth sciences and engineering. This thesis describes the geostatistics associated with creating a geological model of the Abacherli reservoir within the Mahala oil field of the Los Angeles Basin of Southern California using a variogram-based two-point geostatistical approach. The geology of this...
