Characterisation of the heterogeneous naturally fractured reservoirs is an essential and significantly challenging task, especially due to the limited data availability. This paper presents a foundation relationship between P-wave / S-wave velocity and formation resistivity for improved fracture characterisation. Rock matrix and fluid volumetrics are combined with the basic correspondence betwe...

The interaction between human activities and watershed geology is accelerating long-term changes in the carbon cycle of rivers. We evaluated changes in bicarbonate alkalinity, a product of chemical weathering, and tested for long-term trends at 97 sites in the eastern United States draining over 260,000 km(2). We observed statistically significant increasing trends in alkalinity at 62 of the 97...

Introduction: The Tagish Lake meteorite fell on the frozen lake in northern British Columbia, Canada, on 18 th of January, 2000 [1]. It has been the subject of intense preliminary petrographical, geochemical (both organic and non-organic), lithological and isotopic studies [e.g., 2-4]. However, little is still known about this meteorite. These studies demonstrated that Tagish Lake is an ungroup...

This paper considers robust mean-variance portfolio selection problems including uncertainty sets and fuzzy factors. Since these problems are not well-defined problems due to fuzzy factors, it is hard to solve them directly. Therefore, introducing chance constraints, fuzzy goals and possibility measures, the proposed models are transformed into the deterministic equivalent problems. Furthermore...

Introduction: Northwest Africa 773 is one of the more unusual lunar meteorites found in recent years because it contains a prominent clast lithology, which appears to be an olivine-rich cumulate [1-4] and because it is a very-low-Ti (VLT) mare breccia with relatively high incompatible-trace-element concentrations and LREE/HREE enrichment [3]. A lunar origin was verified by Fagan and coworkers [...

We present lithology and fossil pollen data from a 384 cm sediment section from Qingtu paleolake in arid northwest China and discuss their environmental interpretations. The chronology was controlled by four accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) radiocarbon dates on peat and bulk lake sediments. Lithology changes suggest a general sequence of local environment shifts from a non-lake environment b...

This study mapped and analyzed groundwater potential using two different models, logistic regression (LR) and multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS), and compared the results. A spatial database was constructed for groundwater well data and groundwater influence factors. Groundwater well data with a high potential yield of ≥70 m3/d were extracted, and 859 locations (70%) were used for ...

to identify critical sediment sources in large catchments, using easily available terrain information at a regionalscale, a methodology was developed to obtain a qualitative assessment necessary for environmental management.fargas et al method was employed in the research. the study was carried out in one of the sub-basins of hableh roodbasin called dehnamak in the arid and semiarid climate of ...
