GLORIA sidescan imagery, multibeam bathymetry, seismic profiles, and piston cores (3-5 m penetration) reveal the near-surface geology of the Bryant Canyon turbidite pathway on the continental margin of Louisiana. This pathway extends from the continental shelf edge, across the continental slope, to a deep-sea fan on the continental rise. The pathway is narrow (<2 km) where it crosses shallow sa...

In geotechnical field investigations, cone penetration tests (CPT) are increasingly used for ground characterization of fine-grained soils. Test results different parameters that typically visualized in CPT based data interpretation charts. this paper we propose a novel methodology which is on supervised machine learning permits redefinition the boundaries within these charts to account unique ...
