Numerous tephra layers occur within the late Pleistocene Wilson Creek Formation, where they are interbedded with lacustrine deposits of Lake Russell, the ancestor of present-day Mono Lake. Most of the tephra layers are rhyolitic in…
We present a research study aimed at testing of applicability of machine learning techniques for prediction of permeability of digitized rock samples. We prepare a training set containing 3D images of sandstone samples imaged with X-ray…
Numerous geological observations evidence that inelastic deformation occurs during sills and laccoliths emplacement. However, most models of sill and laccolith emplacement neglect inelastic processes by assuming purely elastic deformation…
The size or energy of diverse structures or phenomena in geoscience appears to follow power-law distributions. A rigorous statistical analysis of such observations is tricky, though. Observables can span several orders of magnitude, but the…
We present a wave-equation inversion method that inverts skeletonized data for the subsurface velocity model. The skeletonized representation of the seismic traces consists of the low-rank latent-space variables predicted by a well-trained…
Noises are common events in seismic reflection data that have very striking features in seismograms, affecting seismic data processing and interpretation. Noise attenuation is an essential phase in seismic processing data, usually resulting…
Earthquakes are one of the most devastating natural disasters that plague society. A skilled, reliable earthquake forecasting remains the ultimate goal for seismologists. Using the detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) and conditional…
Natural wind-eroded soils contain a mixture of particle sizes. However, models for aeolian saltation are typically derived for sediment bed surfaces containing only a single particle size. To nonetheless treat natural mixed beds, models for…
We present results from an asymptotic magnetohydrodynamic model that is suited for studying the rapidly rotating, low viscosity regime typical of the electrically conducting fluid interiors of planets and stars. We show that the presence of…
In recent years, there has been discussion in the literature regarding methods of estimating the magnitude of the minimum principal stress from subsurface fracture injection tests, commonly called Diagnostic Fracture Injection Tests…
Chemo-mechanical effects are known to be significant in a number of applications in modern geomechanics, ranging from slope stability assessment to soil improvement and CO2 sequestration. This work focuses on coupled chemo-mechanical…
A coupled mech-hydro-chemical model for rock geometry alteration of fractures under water-rock interaction (WRI) and geostress is developed. Processes including WRI, asperity deformation, mineral chemical dissolution and pressure…
The discovery of photonic crystals thirty years ago, in conjunction with research advances in plasmonics and metamaterials, has inspired the concept of decameter scale metasurfaces, coined seismic metamaterials, for an enhanced control of…
Modeling of sound propagation in media with azimuthal variations of the material parameters typically necessitates approximations. Useful methods, such as the 3-D parabolic equation (PE) method, need verification by correct reference…
This is a comment on the PRL: Gravitational mass $M$ carried by sound waves by A. Esposito, R. Krichevsky and A. Nicolis, Phys.Rev. Lett. {\bf 122}, 084501 (2019).
The purpose of this work is to compare kinematics of small-scale current vortices located near the core-mantle boundary with high-speed anomalies of seismic wave velocity in the lowest mantle asso-ciated with the subduction zones. The…
We discuss several physical constraints imposed on elasticity parameters of a transversely isotropic (TI) tensor. There are three types of restrictions we investigate; a fundamental one of stability conditions, and two additional ones,…
In the presented paper the possible methods of the large earthquake prediction are offered. During the study, it was used data of the INFREP (European Network of Electromagnetic Radiation) existent before earthquake. The elaborated methods…
We have seen in the past years the flourishing of machine and deep learning algorithms in several applications such as image classification and segmentation, object detection and recognition, among many others. This was only possible, in…
Neural-networks have seen a surge of interest for the interpretation of seismic images during the last few years. Network-based learning methods can provide fast and accurate automatic interpretation, provided there are sufficiently many…
