Declining oil prices has led to a reduction of petroleum exploration as production no longer lucrative area investment in the previous years. Current activities are supported by field work which intensive considering resources required. There is need develop low cost methods delineate areas potential hydrocarbon resources. This research uses Land Satellite (Landsat) 8 Operational Imager (OLI) f...

The Palghar region (north Maharashtra, India), located in the northwestern part of stable continental India, experienced a low magnitude earthquake swarm, which was initiated September 2018 and is continuing to date (as October 2021). From December 2020, ~5000 earthquakes with magnitudes from M1.2 M3.8 occurred small 20 × 10 km2. These were probably triggered by fluid migration during seasonal ...

The Itapuranga alkali granite and Uruana quartz syenite are large K-rich EW-elongated intrusions, in the central part of the Neoproterozoic Brasília Belt, central Brazil. They are associated with Pireneus lineaments, which cut the regional NNW-SSE structures of the southern part of the belt. SHRIMP and conventional U-Pb data for the Itapuranga and Uruana intrusions indicate crystallization ages...

Groundwater Exploration is the one of the burning issue in nature and environmental science. At present time, India is leading towards major water crises. Groundwater will be the most exploited natural resource in future. Therefore, it is need of the time to have efficient and precise exploration of groundwater resources. There can be various methods to save earth from these groundwater crises ...

Structural analysis carried out on a segment of the Neoproterozoic Ribeira Belt, southeastern Brazil, show that it represents part of the transpressive dextral orogen related to the Central Mantiqueira Province. NNE-trending and steeply dipping regional mylonitic belts form anastomosed geometry, and describe a map-scale, S-C-like structure that is characterized by their deflection towards NE ne...

The study area is located ~50 km in the north of Tehran capital city, Iran, and is a part of central Alborz Mountain. The intrusive bodies aged post Eocene have intruded in the Eocene volcanic units causing hydrothermal alterations in these units. Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) images were used to map hydrothermal alteration zones. The propylitic, phyllic...

Digital image processing techniques were used for mapping structural features using a medium resolution image (ETM+) from Landsat 7. The aim of this study is to utilize remote sensed data and digital image processing techniques for updating the structural map in the north eastern part of the Dead Sea (Ma’in area), Jordan. The study area is becoming an important target for geological survey acti...

This paper deals with landslide hazard and risk analysis using Geographic Information System (GIS) and remote sensing data for Cameron Highland, Malaysia. Landslide locations were identified in the study area from interpretation of aerial photographs and field surveys. Topographical/geological data and satellite images were collected and processed using GIS and image processing tools. There are...

A system of arcuate furrows in Galileo Regio and Marius Regio, two large blocks of ancient dark terrain, has previously been proposed to be the remnant of an originally more concentric furrow set that was disrupted by shear. Estimates of the two regions' poles of furrow concentricity indicate a considerable westward offset of the Galileo Regio pole. These measurements uggest he possibility of a...

[1] We perform a set of analogue wax experiments aimed at understanding the processes and conditions that lead to lineament formation on Europa. We heat a layer of wax from below and cool it from above so that a solid layer of wax forms above a molten layer, simulating either the liquid ocean or the actively convecting part of the ice shell. The solid layer of wax is then deformed periodically,...
