We investigate the sensitivity of AVO attributes to uncertainty in migration velocity in a synthetic dataset. The synthetic data was built using a earth model with typical rock properties from a real North Sea turbidite field. The model includes a thick overburden layer with complex velocity anomalies. We examine the sensitivity of AVO response due to the presence of this complex layer and quan...

A recent two-dimensional prototype model for the initiation of kink banding in compressed layered structures is extended to embrace the two propagation mechanisms of band broadening and band progression. As well as interlayer friction, overburden pressure and layer bending energy, the characteristics of transverse layer compressibility and foundation stiffness are now included. Experiments on c...

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The sheer volume to which humans are exposed to environmental toxicants and biological toxins on a daily basis can overburden the body’s natural metabolic detoxification capacity. Mounting evidence has suggested that the accumulation of toxins is associated with a number of chronic conditions, and lifestyle and nutrition have critical roles in minimizing toxicant and toxin exp...

This paper aimed to study the soil–water characteristics and stability evolution law of rainfall-induced landslide. Taking two landslide events in Siwan village as an example, formation conditions disaster were analyzed. Additionally, deformation destruction mechanisms landslides discussed in-depth. The hydraulic conductivity analyzed based on TRIM experiment results. Geo-Studio numerical softw...

The Overburden of waste and uneconomic mineralized rock is required to be removed to mine the useful mineral resource in a surface mining operation. In this process a dump is formed by casting the waste material and dumping it in nearby area. The dump so formed is known as mine waste dump. Waste dump may be classified as internal and external dump. External dump is created outside the pit where...

Technological advances, such as GPS devices and smartphones, have had numerous impacts in the realm of travel surveys. These advances bring both challenges and opportunities as we work to balance the potential to collect nearly unlimited amounts of data with the need to not overburden transport survey participants. This paper addresses the steps currently taken to manage this balance in the con...
