agricultural droughts are droughts that affect the crop production or the ecology of a region. ravar city that is located in margin of desert and the north of kerman province is one of these areas. due to the existence of enough underground water that entrance to desert and high evaporation to improving agricultural and cultivar activities, it needed to study the construction of underground dam...

The world experience of using electrical exploration methods in the study technogenic bodies is considered, particular: determining zoning tailings, groundwater migration routes and stability dams. ongoing research demonstrates high efficiency combining geophysics, geochemistry, hydrology. On example mining dumps located on territory Kemerovo region Republic Tyva, achievements interdisciplinary...

Geophysical Prospection has yielded remarkable results to the research in Archaeology. Besides the recognition of places, also the earlier uses of a site can be reconstructed. Therefore, the geophysical techniques help to understand the layout of a site and raise new research questions. In this paper, we summarize the main geophysical prospection methods for archaeology: magnetic, radar and res...

Abstract We focus on the performances of three nature-inspired metaheuristic methods for optimization time-domain electromagnetic (TDEM) data: Genetic Algorithm (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) algorithms. While GA PSO have been used in a plethora geophysical applications, GWO has received little attention literature so far, despite promising outcomes. This ...

The history of geophysics in Australia began with the first European explorers, who were concerned with the measurement of basic geophysical quantities, such as the Earth’s gravitational and magnetic fields (Day, 1966). By the first half of the twentieth century, Australia had been recognised as a possible happy-hunting ground for the new methods of exploration geophysics, as witness the accoun...

Abstract In 2013, a pre-project activity of Experimental Power Reactor (RDE Project) was started. The reactor type is High Temperature Gas-cooled (HTGR) with 10 MWth capacity. At present the project has been postponed due to some reason, however, there an important stage that achieved, regarding site evaluation process obtain permits from Regulatory Body (BAPETEN). Site critical will guarantee ...

It has been customary in the last few decades to employ stochastic models to represent complex data sets encountered in geophysics, particularly in hydrology. This article reviews a deterministic geometric procedure to data modeling, one that represents whole data sets as derived distributions of simple multifractal measures via fractal functions. It is shown how such a procedure may lead to fa...
