The Carajás Mineral Province is located in the eastern portion of the Amazon craton, state of Pará and contains a significant number of mineral deposits, most of them exhibiting structural and lithological controls, such as sets of dilation faults. This paper presents the results of the interpretation of simulated MAPSAR (MultiApplication Purpose SAR) data, integrated with aerogeophysical data,...

Over the last few years, understanding of the profound implications of anthropogenically driven climate change has grown. In turn, this has fuelled research into options to mitigate likely impacts. Approaches involving the capture of carbon dioxide and its storage in geological formations, or in marine waters, have generated a raft of proposed solutions. The scale of some of these proposals is ...

1.1 Carbon dioxide sequestration in sub-seabed geological formations is a process consisting of separation of carbon dioxide from industrial and energy-related sources, transport to an offshore geological formation, and long-term isolation from the atmosphere. This process is one option in a portfolio of mitigation actions for stabilization of atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations with the ...

soil salinity is one of the problems threatening agricultural lands. parts of this phenomenon are related to geologic formations and saltpans, while some major factors are resulted from irrelevant agricultural activities, issue of irrigation, and improper cultivation systems which lead to increase in soil salinity. to avoid such consequences that would end up with ecosystem degradation, suitabl...

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has been recognized as a powerful tool for geological feature detection. This work introduces a new approach using Particle Swarm Optimization automatically detected geological features from PALSAR SAR data. The result shows that the new formula based on Particle Swarm Optimization can be delineated lineament features in PALSAR data. The new approach using Particl...

The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between geological background and habitats of mushrooms. The study area is Grevena, a Prefecture of Greece well known for the great variety of the fungal flora and its distinctive geology. Thematic maps of the study area were produced with the use of GIS, taking under consideration geological formations, elevation, ecosystems and land use. Fin...

Grupi and Kashkan marl formations comprise a considerable part of Zagros region. These formations have a considerable erodibility and sedimentation potential because of their special geological and mineralogical characteristics. The objective of this study was to compare the erosion and sediment yield of Kashkan and Grupi formations in Merk watershed located in southeast Kermanshah, using the M...
