A critical problem in inversion of geophysical data is developing a stable inverse problem solution that can si­ multaneously resolve complicated geological structures. The traditional way to obtain a stable solution is based on maximum smoothness criteria. This approach, however, provides smoothed unfocused images of real geoelectri­ cal structures. Recently, a new approach to reconstruc­ tion...

Understanding how geophysical and hydrologic properties are related is a key problem in hydrogeophysical data fusion. Traditionally this link has been made by rock physics investigations that define how pore-scale variations in properties like mineralogy, fluid content, and grain geometry affect the geophysical response of a rock or sediment. As the scale of investigation increases from the lab...

Background Cardio-vascular pathology is widespread in the North. It is more severe and hard than in moderate latitudes. There are little data available describing reactions of cardio-vascular system to changes of climatic, meteorological and helio-geophysical factors and their role in the development of the disease. The purpose of our study was to study the role of pathological reacting to clim...

We apply skeletonization approach to geophysical data to recognize geologic structures and pick seismic horizons automatically. We formulate the technique to be explicitly applicable to all gridded geophysical data. The method consists in extracting multiple features of “wavelets” which may be single or double peaks or troughs characterized by amplitudes, widths, orientation angles, spatial dim...

A two-step physical algorithm that simultaneously retrieves geophysical parameters from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) measurements was developed. The retrieved geophysical parameters include atmospheric temperature-humidity profile, surface skin temperature, and two surface emissivities within the shortwave (3-5-microm) and the longwave (8-14.5-microm) regions. The physi...

Different methods of lithology predictions from geophysical data have been developed in the last 15 years. The geophysical logs used for predicting lithology are the conventional logs: sonic, neutron-neutron, gamma (total natural-gamma) and density (backscattered gamma-gamma). The prompt gamma neutron activation analysis (PGNAA) is another established geophysical logging technique for in situ e...

In this report we introduce the development of the WDC for Geophysics, Beijing included our activities in the electronic Geophysical Year (eGY) and in the transition period from WDC to WDS. We also present our future plans. We have engaged in the development of geophysical informatics and related data science. We began the data visualization of geomagnetic fields in the GIS system. Our database...

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...

When conducting an investigation of the subsurface a geoscientist will often locate specific borehole geophysical data for the area of study. This process of locating spatially where the geophysical logs have been conducted and what specific parameters have been run in each logging suite can often be difficult and take the investigator several hours or even days depending upon the size of the s...

Lunar Science: The Moon provides a unique opportunity to study fundamental questions about the origin and evolution of the inner solar system. While it is widely believed that the Moon was created by the collision of a large object with the Earth during early planetary formation, this has not been conclusively proven. Furthermore, the mechanisms and processes by which this may have occurred are...
