The steady trend of complication mining and geological factors in underground coal at the same time processes intensification cause growth dynamic manifestations natural mining, such as sudden gas outbursts, rock bursts, collapses, leading to dust explosions fires. This requires developing models different phenomena manifestation risks, which enable improving process safety a enterprise. In thi...

The Neoproterozoic era was arguably the most revolutionary in Earth history. Extending from 1000 to 541 million years ago, it stands at the intersection of the two great tracts of evolutionary time: on the one side, some three billion years of pervasively microbial 'Precambrian' life, and on the other the modern 'Phanerozoic' biosphere with its extraordinary diversity of large multicellular org...

County-based spatial distribution characteristics and the related geological factors for iodine in drinking-water were studied in Shandong Province (China). Spatial autocorrelation analysis and spatial scan statistic were applied to analyze the spatial characteristics. Generalized linear models (GLMs) and geographically weighted regression (GWR) studies were conducted to explore the relationshi...

The interpretation of potential and electromagnetic fields observed over 3D geological structures remains one of the most challenging problems of exploration geophysics. In this paper I present an overview of novel methods of inversion and imaging of gravity and electromagnetic data, which are based on new advances in the regularization theory related to the application of special stabilizing f...

The traditional scope of engineering geology was the application of geology in construction practice, but this has become widened in time to embrace other fields of engineering, environmental concerns and geological hazards. The subject lies at the interface between the observation and description of natural processes associated with the science of geology and the knowledge of numeracy and mate...

Two geostatistical methods for history matching are presented. Both rely on the sequential simulation principle for generating geologically sound realizations. The first method relies on perturbing the sequential simulation through the perturbation of the conditional distribution models; the second method relies on the perturbation of random numbers. We show that both approaches are general in ...

Geostatistical modeling of reservoir properties is common in the assessment of expected reservoir flow. Typically, static properties such as porosity, saturation and permeability are modeled with geostatistical techniques to quantify the level of uncertainty in reservoir characterization. Lately, practitioners have become concerned that purely statistical techniques do not sufficiently integrat...
