By analysing potential field data in the wavelet domain and performing a multi scale edge detection we can automate what is commonly called 'worm analysis', i.e., the traditional visual inspection of gravity and aeromagnetic data in order to detect shallow faults, lineaments, contacts etc. More importantly, with the use of an appropriate wavelet, defined by the physics of the problem, informati...

Lineaments are vital geological features that play the role of a key indicator for ground water and petroleum searching. At present, there is no study that has utilised remote sensing satellite data to reconstruct three dimensional (3-D) lineament visualization in the Uinted Arab Emirates (UAE). This work aimed at reconstructing a (3-D) lineament visualization from multispectral remote sensing ...

Nowadays the use of remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) is one of the most powerful cost effective tools to identify and discover the available groundwater resources. In this paper, Lithological Units, Lineaments, Slope, Topography, Drainage density, Vegetation and Isohyets lines have been achieved by stations and through remote sensing and GIS techniques. All layers of diffe...

Linear anomalies are important in the interpretation of gravity and magnetic data because they indicate some important structural features. In this study, a method is proposed to extract lineaments which may be difficult to recognize. It is based on the convolution between the templates obtained from the second horizontal derivative of the theoretical anomaly due to a truncated horizontal plate...

The Palghar region (north Maharashtra, India), located in the northwestern part of stable continental India, experienced a low magnitude earthquake swarm, which was initiated September 2018 and is continuing to date (as October 2021). From December 2020, ~5000 earthquakes with magnitudes from M1.2 M3.8 occurred small 20 × 10 km2. These were probably triggered by fluid migration during seasonal ...

Japan has had a profound influence on Southeast Asia. Whether it is measured by Japan’s often brutal, but ultimately liberating, war-time occupation of the region, or by the more recent economic interaction, Japan has played a major part in shaping Southeast Asia’s political and economic development. At one level this is hardly surprising. Japan, as T..J. Pempel (1999: 27) reminds us, ‘remains ...

Apollo-Soyuz photographs of the Monte Desert in southeastern San Juan, Argentina, were used for a reconnaissance survey of large-scale desert landforms. The Apollo-Soyuz color photographs were helpful in distinguishing lineaments and probable faults, drainage patterns, rock types, and soil-tonal variations. These photographs were especially useful in studying the distribution of sand deposits a...
