Renewable energy resources can indisputably minimize the threat of global warming and climate change. However, they are intermittent and need buffer storage to bridge the time-gap between production (off peak) and demand peaks. Based on geologic and geochemical reasons, the North German Basin has a very large capacity for compressed air/gas energy storage CAES in porous saltwater aquifers and s...

A Bayesian model coupled with a fuzzy neural network (BFNN) is developed to alleviate the difficulty of using geophysical data in lithology estimation when cross correlation between lithology and geophysical attributes is nonlinear. The prior estimate is inferred from borehole lithology measurements using indicator kriging based on spatial correlation, and the posterior estimate is obtained fro...

The correct positioning of deep wells to monitor groundwater and entrained contaminants is greatly aided by using remote sensing methods. The geologic setting at the Anniston Army Depot (ANAD) consists of a sequence of fractured dolostones and clastic rocks that have been thrust-faulted, creating a highly complex and heterogeneous aquifer. The drilling of deep bedrock groundwater monitoring wel...

The concept of petroleum reservoir geophysics is relatively new. In the past, the role of geophysics was largely confined to exploration and, to a lesser degree, the development of discoveries. As cost-efficiency has taken over as a driving force in the economics of the oil and gas industry and as major assets near abandonment, geophysics has increasingly been recognized as a tool for improving...

The changing trends in information technology have greatly influenced the role of GIS in spatial data management, analysis, processing and presentation. It has evolved from the conventional cartography and image processing to advanced 3D visualization and dynamic graphics tools. Due to this evolving nature of GIS, it has found wide applications in a number of diverse fields. Geophysical explora...

Since 2000 the Institute of Methodologies for the Environmental Analysis (National Council of Research, Tito, Italy) installed a geophysical monitoring network able to detect geoelectric, geochemic and seismometric parameters in seismic areas of southern Italy. During this period a very large data-base of geophysical time series has been organized and it is actually available to assess robust s...

Airborne geophysical systems have been in use since 1943 (Hildenbrand et al., 1990). These systems used airborne magnetometers for submarine detection and geophysical mapping. Airborne electromagnetic systems were introduced in the 1950s (Barringer et al., 1990) for mineral exploration. These early magnetic and electromagnetic systems were mounted on fixed wing aircraft. In the 1960s helicopter...
