We used a multitemporal and multisensor satellite dataset to investigate the geological evolution of a tectonic basin of the East African Rift. The study area is the Lake Abhe-Goba'ad basin which is located at the border between Djibouti and Ethiopia. This area is the southern portion of a wide triangle-shaped depression, the Afar Depression. The Afar is one of the Earth's most geologically act...

The city bypass tunnel of Waidhofen an der Ybbs (Austria) is situated in an intricate geological-geotechnical complex consisting of soil, hard soil, weak rock and solid rock. Marls and marly limestone (Waidhofener formation) predominate followed by tectonic breccia of the Alpine cliff zone, which is a tectonic melange zone. Materials of this kind universally have isolated interior blocks embedd...

PEER REVIEWED PAPER (“REVIEW AND PUBLICATION PROCESS” CAN BE FOUND ON OUR WEB SITE) Introduction The use of technologies to capture and store CO2 is rapidly emerging as a potentially important tool for managing carbon emissions. Geological storage, defined as the process of injecting CO2 into geologic formations for the explicit purpose of avoiding atmospheric emission of CO2, is perhaps the mo...

Many geological processes from oil recovery to underground CO2 storage are affected by natural molecules adsorbed on rock surfaces. Yet, geochemical models tend overlook their formation and stability, let alone existence. With a suite of analytical techniques, we address this “missing-link” describe fundamental mechanisms for (i) the deposition surface-active in complex brines oils minerals (ii...

Geological maps are increasingly published and shared online, whereas tools and services supporting information retrieval and knowledge discovery are underdeveloped. In this study, we developed an ontology of geological time scale by using a RDF (Resource Description Framework) model to represent the ordinal hierarchical structure of the geological time scale and to encode collected annotations...

The complexity of stratigraphic architecture makes the geological modeling over-reliance on labor, this means more timeconsuming and inefficiency. It is a difficult problem in using only borehole data in engineering survey for computerized automatic modeling to quickly establish the stratigraphic model. We joined connectivity criteria, as well as virtual drilling method, using an improved “laye...
