A UK-based grid computing project that merges two earthquake data modeling methods is one of the latest tools in earthquake prediction. The new technique provides a 2D data map of tectonic structures by combining a macro modeling method based on surface deformation measurements from satellite imagery with a micro method based on finite element analysis and simulation within local geophysical co...

Basin-and-range geothermal resources are typically fault-controlled, deep-circulation systems. They commonly occur beneath thick sequences of Tertiary and Quaternary basin-fill sediments which hinder understanding of fault geometries and faulting patterns. Recent experience at Dixie Valley and survey of the literature for other systems suggest a low-cost and rapid exploration strategy for estab...

The determination of groundwater potentiality is one the most significant challenges in hydro-geophysical research, especially arid areas with limited water resources. A geophysical survey wa...

Traditional methods of chromite exploration are mostly based on geophysical techniques and drilling operations. They are expensive and time-consuming. Furthermore, they suffer from several shortcomings such as lack of sufficient geophysical density contrast. In order to overcome these drawbacks, the current research work is carried out to introduce a novel, automatic and opto-geometric image an...

The correct positioning of deep wells to monitor groundwater and entrained contaminants is greatly aided by using remote sensing methods. The geologic setting at the Anniston Army Depot (ANAD) consists of a sequence of fractured dolostones and clastic rocks that have been thrust-faulted, creating a highly complex and heterogeneous aquifer. The drilling of deep bedrock groundwater monitoring wel...
