Gunung Kidul Regency is a highland consisting of carbonate rocks dominantly. Bedoyo village in Ponjong sub district has lot dolines, but the summer season, dolines become dry and could not be water storage. Geological mapping included geomorphological, rock observation, structural also petrographical analysis laboratory. A Geophysics survey to observe subsurface distribution laterally verticall...

Micro-Computed Tomography (μCT) is used for imaging narrowly fractured natural rocks from the subsurface of the Vienna Basin, Austria. The dolomites from the Hauptdolomit Formation represent a successfully producing reservoir for hydrocarbons (mainly gas). However, the heterogeneity of the rocks and their fracture networks make conventional predictions on economically viable exploration of the ...

In volcanic regions, reliable estimates of mechanical properties for specific volcanic events such as cyclic inflation-deflation cycles by magmatic intrusions, thermal stressing, and high temperatures are crucial for building accurate models of volcanic phenomena. This study focuses on the challenge of characterizing volcanic materials for the numerical analyses of such events. To do this, we e...

Assessment of the structural integrity carbonate-rich rocks subjected to acidic brine strongly relies on understanding coupling between chemical changes and alteration mechanical properties rocks. This study aims at an integrated microscale chemo-mechanical microstructural characterization carbonate mudstones exposed CO2-rich under high pressure temperature conditions. Digital image analysis wa...

This project aims to demonstrate techniques for quantitatively predicting the combined seismic signatures of CO2 saturation, chemical changes to the rock frame, and pore pressure. This will be accomplished (i) by providing a better understanding the reaction kinetics of CO2-bearing reactive fluids with rock-forming minerals, and (ii) by quantifying how the resulting long-term, CO2-injection-ind...

“Multi-scale, multi-components, multi-phases” are the key words that characterize the double porosity media, like fissured rocks, aggregated soils or composite geomaterials, subject to environmental conditions. In relation to this context an integrated upscaling approach to the modelling of water flow and solute transport under unsaturated conditions in double porosity media, is presented. The ...

The probable sources of some of the famous Indian diamonds are the 1.2 Ga old Krishna lamproites of Southern India, a rare Proterozoic occurrence of lamproites which are usually Cretaceous or younger in age. In this study we report Nd, Sr, Pb and Hf isotopes and multiple trace element concentrations of the Krishna lamproites. The goals are to evaluate mantle-processes and the petrogenesis of th...

Several positive carbon isotope excursions in Lower Paleozoic rocks, including the prominent Upper Cambrian Steptoean Positive Carbon Isotope Excursion (SPICE), are thought to reflect intermittent perturbations in the hydrosphere-biosphere system. Models explaining these secular changes are abundant, but the synchronicity and regional variation of the isotope signals are not well understood. Ex...
