This study focuses on the sequence stratigraphy and dominated seismic facies in Central Taranaki basin. Four regional sequences namely SEQ4 to SEQ1 from bottom top four boundaries representing unconformities H4 H1 have been traced based reflection terminations. was validated using well logs information. An onlapping feature section indicates a new perspective surface separated between upper low...

Ultrasonic laboratory measurements of seismic compressional velocities (Vp) carried out on rock samples encompasing a wide range of metamorphic grades and lithologies from the Betic chain are presented. Measurements were performed at a high confining pressure on a total of 12 representative samples of the Alboran Domain (Internal Betics). P-wave mean velocities, referred to pressure conditions ...

This paper presents for the first time a detailed study on information content of X-band single-pass interferometric spaceborne SAR data with respect to snow facies characterization. An approach for classifying different snow facies of the Greenland Ice Sheet by exploiting X-band TanDEM-X interferometric synthetic aperture radar acquisitions is firstly detailed. Large-scale mosaics of radar bac...

Gran Dolina is a cavity infilled by at least 25 m of Pleistocene sediments. This sequence contains the TD6 stratigraphic unit, whose records include around 170 hominin bones that have allowed the definition of a new species, Homo antecessor. This fossil accumulation was studied as a single assemblage and interpreted as a succession of several human home bases. We propose a complete stratigraphi...

We have deduced the steady-state lithospheric geotherm at c. 1 Ga in the south Indian shield area using the available data on the concentration of radioactive elements, and the f-T conditions of Proterozoic mantle xenoliths in the south Indian kimberlites as constraints. The geotherm was adjusted back to 2.5 Ga by keeping the surface temperature constant and calculating the temperature change a...

Facies models are used to better capture heterogeneity in mineral deposits and petroleum reservoirs. Facies are often considered as mutually exclusive and exhaustive at the scale of the geological model. These two assumptions are needed for sequential indicator simulation and most other facies modeling techniques; however, the assumption that an entire grid block consists of one facies type bec...

Abstract Gamtoos Basin is an echelon sub-basin under the Outeniqua offshore of South Africa. It a complex rift-type basin with both onshore and components consists relatively simple half-grabens bounded by major fault to northeast. This study mainly focused on evaluation reservoir heterogeneity Valanginian depositional sequence. The prime objective this work generate 3D static model for better ...

Abstract – The design of an information fusion system is a complex task. This study tries to help in the choice of the relevant input data and in the system adjustment. Such a study relates to a notion referred to in the literature as “Elucidative Fusion System” (EFS). The proposed method is based on information theory tools which provide a means to measure the impact of each input attribute on...

many old damaged and undamaged building structures do not meet the criteria of modern seismic design codes. such structures need to be seismically enhanced. the main objective of this paper is to propose and validate the effectiveness of an upgrade scheme for non-seismic buildings using steel plate shear walls (spsw). the upgrade is carried out considering a probability-based drift-based criter...
