Bayesian analysis and modeling, in which uncertainties are quantified in terms of probability, offers an alternative approach to understanding in meteorological applications. The underlying principle, practiced in fields like archaeology and geology, is the accumulation of evidence. The approach provides a mathematical rule to update existing beliefs in light of new evidence. It requires the da...

Mathematical Morphology has proYed to be a yery powerful methodology in various applications of image analysis: industrial control, medical imagery, telecommunications, material sciences... This approach, however, has not yet fully entered the geological domain although many morphological tools can be described by referring to the vocabulary of earth science. A morphologist commonly uses concep...

When I was 13, the intellectual world began opening up to me. I remember discussing with my friends the list of Sciences which we were soon to be offered. There was Chemistry, Biology, Geology, Astronomy, and Physics. We knew what Chemistry was. It was the study of Chemicals. Biology was the study of life, Geology studied rocks and Astronomy the stars and planets. But what was Physics ? Now, ma...

Computer-based numerical solutions of geomechanical problems are important to understand the processes forming rock structures as well quantify associated pressure, stresses and strain rates. However, development such computer programs underlying mathematical methods commonly not taught in a standard structural geology curriculum. Here, we present simple program calculate stress, velocity rate ...

This study conducted a questionnaire survey from 2013 to 2018 with the aim of clarifying process forming naïve concepts, and reconceptualizing them. 319 science undergraduate students at national university participated in study. The analysis 434 concepts described by respondents revealed following six points: (1) Naïve tended form elementary school for both boys girls. (2) girls were more like...

Singular limit problems of reaction-diffusion systems have been studied in cases where the effects reaction terms are very large compared with those other terms. Such appear literature various fields such as chemistry, ecology, biology, geology and approximation theory. In this paper, we deal singular a general system including many literature. We formulate problem,...

To constrain the timing of rifting in the western, eastern, and northern parts of the Alboran Sea basin, seismic reflectors, corresponding to biostratigraphic boundaries and unconformities from the Miocene to Recent, are correlated using synthetic seismograms. Regions of adjacent coeval compression and extension are found in the Alboran Sea basin. Normal faulting continues in parts of the easte...
