The paper presents interesting data on a critical issue: estimation of carbon stocks of tropical peatlands. However, the paper, as currently written, is not well structured for Biogeoscience discussion. It is too technical and focused on the geophysical methods. The paper should be restructured and extended for a publication in Biogeoscience discussions or sent to another journal more focused o...

The Smart Weapons Test Range (SWTR) is a new facility constructed specifically for the development and testing of futuristic intelligent battlefield sensor networks within the Yuma Proving Ground (YPG), Arizona. In this paper, results are presented for an extensive high-resolution geophysical characterization study at the SWTR site along with validation using 3-D modeling. In this study, severa...

Geophysical techniques coupled with the modern computer workstation have not been widely used in environmental geology. The Kansas Geological Survey is investigating the application of the computer workstation in a number of projects underway that involve environmental questions and problems associated with salt dissolution. The computer workstation provides an efficient approach to integrate g...

Joint inversion of different geophysical data sets has recently received considerable attention. Different geophysical methods are sensitive to different physical properties and their variations on different scales, and joint inversion provides a way to combine these complementary information contained in each data set by integrating all the geophysical data into a single inversion scheme. The ...

16 In geophysical electromagnetic methods, time-varying magnetic fields are measured at Earth’s surface that are produced by electrical currents inside the Earth in order to constrain subsurface conductivity and geological structure. These methods are widely used for mineral exploration and environmental investigations, and are increasingly being used in hydrocarbon exploration as well. Forward...

Climate modeling encompasses an enormous range of spatial and temporal scales. One of its great remaining challenges is bridging the scale gaps between global climate processes, basinscale and regional impacts, and smaller-scale ecosystem dynamics. Improving and accessing enhanced computational resources will help bridge this gap. Nonetheless, enhanced computer power alone is insufficient witho...
