Shallow depth geophysical data from archaeological sites contain various levels and types of noise that hinters the valuable information of the subsurface architectural relics. Wavelet transform techniques were tested as a method for decomposition of the original geophysical data in order to eliminate the noise levels inherent to the geophysical measurements. In addition to the above, unsupervi...

In this paper, the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) approach is applied for forecasting groundwater level fluctuation in Aghili plain,southwest Iran. An optimal design is completed for the two hidden layers with four different algorithms: gradient descent withmomentum (GDM), levenberg marquardt (LM), resilient back propagation (RP), and scaled conjugate gradient (SCG). Rain,evaporation, relative...

Caribbean areas are particular volcanic territories in tropical environments. These juxtapose several landslide-prone with different predisposing factors (poorly consolidated materials, superimposition of healthy materials on highly weathered high heterogeneity thicknesses, etc.). In these environments, where rapid development slopes and land use changes noticeable, it is necessary to better ch...

Fractured and karst aquifers are important groundwater reservoirs widely used to provide drinking water the population. Because of presence fractures with varying geometry properties providing preferential flow paths, fractured highly heterogeneous difficult characterize model. In this context, geophysical methods can relevant spatially distributed data about fractures, that be further integrat...

Heritage monuments are religious, historical, strategic, or civil edifices and could be deteriorated even damaged due to their exposure natural anthropogenic hazards. The Roman Edifice with Mosaic (II-IV A.D.), the largest edifice (2040 m2) in Eastern Europe, is an ancient built on steep cliff western part of Black Sea, Constan?a, Romania, exposed geomorphological hydrogeological processes, whi...

Electrical Resistivity Imaging (ERI) is an in-situ geophysical method widely used in environmental, engineering and hydrogeological explorations due to cost, time, data coverage efficiency. Traditionally, geotechnical parameters such as discontinuities properties are obtained from rock samples acquired a borehole. However, it only provides single information point, costly time-consuming. Thus, ...

The ability to produce three-dimensional physical property models of the subsurface from surface geophysical data, coupled with an increasing need to explore for minerals in concealed terranes, results in geophysical inversions providing more significant information to the exploration team. We examine the role that geophysical inversion can play in an integrated mineral exploration program, and...

Principal component analysis is applied to 309 groundwater chemical data information from wells in the Serra Geral Aquifer System. Correlations among seven hydrochemical parameters are statistically examined. A four-component model is suggested and explains 81% of total variance. Component 1 represents calcium-magnesium bicarbonated groundwaters with long time of residence. Component 2 represen...
