In the last decade, Ground-Based Synthetic Aperture Radar (GB-SAR) systems have gained an increasing interest. Many different applications take advantages of the flexibility and capability of such systems to measure deformations with submillimeter precision, map terrains and monitor landslides and other geological phenomena. In literature different focusing algorithms have been proposed. The ai...

The Bonaparte project is a new multi-year bedrock mapping program of the British Columbia Geological Survey (BCGS) concentrating on Mesozoic arc volcanic and plutonic rocks of the Quesnel Terrane in the northeastern part of the Bonaparte Lake (92P) map sheet (Figure 1). The area encompasses a northwest-trending belt of high mineral potential that includes a number of interesting mineral occurre...

We find that the marine 87 Sr/ 86 Sr record shows a significant periodicity of 59.3 ± 3 Myr. The 87 Sr/ 86 Sr record is 171° ± 12°out of phase with a 62 (± 3) Myr periodicity previously reported in the record of marine-animal diversity. These periodicities are close to 58 (± 4) Myr cycles found for the number of gap-bounded sedimentary carbonate packages of North America We propose that these p...

Conservation decisions should be evaluated for how they meet conservation goals at multiple spatial extents. Conservation easements are land use decisions resulting from a combination of social and environmental conditions. An emerging area of research is the evaluation of spatial distribution of easements and their spatial correlates. We tested the relative influence of interacting social and ...

The Geological Survey Office (GSO) undertook a pilot study with the objective of assessing the ability of Survey data to support modern quantitative mineral potential modelling techniques. The Yarrol pilot project was designed to audit digital data sets routinely produced by the GSO, and to provide mineral assessment outputs relevant to both industry and Government decision-making processes. Th...

Fractures have crucial impact on flow in reservoirs. In naturally fractured reservoirs (NFR) the fracture network alone can be the dominant factor in fluid transport. Fractures as geological discontinuities introduce a high level of complexity into the entire reservoir modeling workflow. In current practice, the geological modeling of fractures and flow simulation are considerably disconnected,...

Three-dimensional (3D) modelling of geological body is an important issue of 3D GIS and 3D Geosciences Modelling, and one of the key technologies of digital mine. GTP model and its components are introduced in this paper. According to the relations between chronolith and rock attribute comprehensively, the modelling region, system, series, group and rock characteristics(RC) are regard as the sc...

Conditions have fluctuated a good deal in the last 'leaps' but these changes, like waves on the ocean, had little effect on the working up and down of traditional medicine which is the main element of Chinese life itself. Contradictions in a socialist society are fundamentally different from those in the old societies. Traditional medicine, a faithful reflection of Chinese culture, is a first-r...
