The Molnieboi Spur is located at the northwestern margin of the Katun Range, the highmountain part of the Altai Mountains. Unique geological and geophysical characteristics of the Molnieboi Spur made it an attractive target for complex botanical studies including botanical, soil, geological, geochemical, geophysical, radiation, and soil gas surveys and analyses. In this paper, we present the fi...

Geophysical phenomena of interest to geoscientists include both atmospheric and terrestrial related processes, which can be either static or dynamic. Characterization of such phenomena requires advanced models which often include scale invariance concepts of fractal or multi-fractal type. Recently, there has been much interdisciplinary interest in the application of geophysical processes. The a...

A field experiment consisting of geophysical logging and tracer testing was conducted in a single well that penetrated a sand-and-gravel aquifer at the U.S. Geological Survey Toxic Substances Hydrology research site on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Geophysical logs and flowmeter/pumping measurements were obtained to estimate vertical profiles of porosity phi, hydraulic conductivity K, temperature, a...

Integrated remote sensing and geophysical methods can provide detailed information about buried cultural heritage. We implemented an integrated survey protocol (IREGA, Integrated REmote-sensing and Geophysical prospecting for Archaeology) and tested the performance of the method in the area of the ancient Roman town of Aquileia, NE Italy, to define and characterize microareas of archaeological ...

Various Green’s functions occurring in Poisson potential field theory can be used to construct non-orthogonal, non-compact, continuous wavelets. Such a construction leads to relations between the horizontal derivatives of geophysical field measurements at all heights, and the wavelet transform of the zero height field. The resulting theory lends itself to a number of different applications in t...

The World Data Center for Geophysics in Boulder, Colorado is hosted by the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC). NGDC’s vision is to be the world's leading provider of geophysical and environmental data, information, and products. NGDC's mission is to provide long-term scientific data stewardship for geophysical data, ensuring quality, integrity, and accessibility. Faced with ever expanding ...

Over the last two decades, several advances have been made in the development and application of slim-hole geophysical sondes for use in groundwater, engineering, and environmental applications. This equipment is commonly used to provide qualitative (but detailed) estimates of grain size, sediment type, porosity, density, pore-water salinity, as well as bulk and shear moduli, to supplement geol...

My research efforts to date have combined both theoretical and observational aspects of geophysical fluid dynamics. Specific topics that I have investigated include: large-scale ocean dynamics and thermodynamics; geophysical waves and flow stability (spectral, formal, and nonlinear); Hamiltonian geophysical fluid dynamics; nonintegrable Hamiltonian dynamics; passive tracer transport and mixing ...

Based on a variety of case histories of site investigations, including extensive bore hole data, laboratory testing and geophysical prospecting at more than 550 construction sites, an empirical formulation is proposed for the rapid determination of allowable bearing pressure of shallow foundations in soils and rocks. The proposed expression corroborates consistently with the results of the clas...

[1] The surface pattern of vegetation influences the composition and humification of peat laid down during the development of a bog, producing a subsurface hydrological structure that is expected to affect both the rate and pattern of water flow. Subsurface peat structures are routinely derived from the inspection of peat cores. However, logistical limits on the number of cores that can be coll...
