In the paper a method for automatic classification of signals received by EKB and MAGW ISTP SB RAS coherent scatter radars (8-20MHz operating frequency) during 2021 is described. The method is suitable for automatic physical interpretation…
Data-driven machine-learning for predicting instantaneous and future fault-slip in laboratory experiments has recently progressed markedly due to large training data sets. In Earth however, earthquake interevent times range from 10's-100's…
Systematic characterization of slip behaviours on active faults is key to unraveling the physics of tectonic faulting and the interplay between slow and fast earthquakes. Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR), by enabling…
Marine heat flow data, obtained with a Lister-type probe, consists of two temperature decay curves, frictional and heat pulse decay. Both follow the same physical model of a cooling cylinder. The mathematical model describing the decays is…
Evidence of fast variations in the Earth's core field are seen both in magnetic observatory and satellite records. We present here how they have been identified at the Earth's surface from ground-based observatory records and how their…
The work presented here offers an approach to estimate the technological status of lithium extraction from geothermal waters in Germany based on current scientific studies, as well as to evaluate the associated challenges. For this purpose,…
Omori Law describes the evolution of the aftershocks of a strong earthquake. Established at the end of the century before last, it is characterized by the beauty of its form, quite definite clarity, as a result of which it still attracts…
This study suggests a stochastic model for time series of daily-zonal (circumpolar) mean stratospheric temperature at a given pressure level. It can be seen as an extension of previous studies which have developed stochastic models for…
It is challenging for full-waveform inversion to determine geologically informative models from field data. An inaccurate wavelet can make it more complicated. We develop a novel misfit function, entitled deconvolutional double-difference…
The concept of joint persistence has been widely used to study the mechanics and failure processes of rock masses benefitting from the simplicity of statistical linear weighing of the discontinuity. Nevertheless, this term neglects the…
Serpentinization and carbonation of ultramafic formations is a ubiquitous phenomenon, which deeply influences the biogeochemical cycles of water, hydrogen, carbon... while supporting the particular biosphere around the oceanic hydrothermal…
The hierarchical organization and self-similarity in river basins have been topics of extensive research in hydrology and geomorphology starting with the pioneering work of Horton in 1945. Despite significant theoretical and applied…
The total electron content (TEC) over the Iberian Peninsula was modelled using PCA-MRM models based on decomposition of the observed TEC series using the principal component analysis (PCA) and reconstruction of the daily modes amplitudes by…
Full-waveform inversion (FWI), a popular technique that promises high-resolution models, has helped in improving the salt definition in inverted velocity models. The success of the inversion relies heavily on having prior knowledge of the…
The propagator matrix "propagates" a full wave field from one depth level to another, accounting for all propagation angles and evanescent waves. The Marchenko focusing function forms the nucleus of data-driven Marchenko redatuming and…
Fast assimilation of monitoring data to update forecasts of pressure buildup and carbon dioxide (CO2) plume migration under geologic uncertainties is a challenging problem in geologic carbon storage. The high computational cost of data…
It has long been assumed the Earth's solid inner core started to grow when molten iron cooled to its melting point. However, the nucleation mechanism, which is a necessary step of crystallization, has not been well understood. Recent…
Finite-difference (FD) modeling of seismic waves in the vicinity of dipping interfaces gives rise to artifacts. Examples are phase and amplitude errors, as well as staircase diffractions. Such errors can be reduced in two general ways. In…
Mechanical properties are essential for understanding natural and induced deformational behavior of geological formations. Brittleness characterizes energy dissipation rate and strain localization at failure. Brittleness has been…
An anisotropic damage model is employed in order to simulate the fracture pattern of Bohus granite under quasi-static spherical indentation loading. The chosen damage description is added to the previously employed Drucker-Prager plasticity…
