In the valley of Euphrates River to south Haditha city (West Iraq), dissolution carbonate rocks which underlie residual soil gives rise numerous sinkholes. These sinkholes are a potential hazard human safety and damage existing infrastructure. The exposed in area under consideration belong Formation Early Miocene age, specifically Middle Member formation. Tens have developed with different shap...

Abstract The discharge variability of some karst springs in Bulgaria has been investigated in detail within a region situated in the semiarid zone where most of the principal processes controlling spring outflow (évapotranspiration, snow accumulation, karstic functioning) are significant. While the karstification was notable in the Kotel and Bistretz springs with a predominance of quickflow, in...

The Upper Jurassic Evaporite Formation accumulated up to 200 m of interbedded gypsum-carbonates layers across the coastal cliffed region Safi (Morocco) have been affected by karstification process, resulting in karst collapse and subsidence structures associated with faulting, fracturing different types instabilities, which are among main causes natural hazard risk, impacting socio-economic env...

We briefly review the models of fracture dissolution process, discussing the experimental and numerical evidence showing that this phenomenon is inherently two-dimensional and hence cannot be accurately described by one-dimensional models. The physical reason for this incompatibility is that a dissolution front in a single rock fracture is potentially unstable to small variations in local perme...

The primary objective of the current study is to produce karstification potentiality maps in northeast of Khuzestan province, Iran, using both fuzzy logic and AHP models as an additional tool in hydrogeological research. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) are used to create two maps depicting the development of the karstification, consisting of five classes, showing th...

Abstract A carbonate-depleted carbonate gas field located offshore Sarawak has been identified as potential candidate for CO 2 sequestration site in conjunction with another high development commercialization efforts. The undergone a feasibility study to evaluate geochemical reactions specifically on trapping mechanisms and storage capacity associated injection. detail 3D reactive transport mod...

The Terrain Observation with Progressive Scans (TOPS) acquisition mode of Sentinel-1A provides a wide coverage per acquisition and features a repeat cycle of 12 days, making this acquisition mode attractive for surface subsidence monitoring. A few studies have analyzed wide-coverage surface subsidence of Wuhan based on Sentinel-1A data. In this study, we investigated wide-area surface subsidenc...
