The Vali–Janlou kaolin deposit is located in the northern part of the Urmia–Dokhtar magmatic belt, central-northern Iran, and is hosted by middle Eocene rhyodacitic volcanic rocks. The Vali–Janlou kaolin deposit is one of the most important sources of raw material for ceramics industries in Iran. No trace element geochemical characterizations of this deposit have been conducted in detail …
The accurate prediction of rock mass quality ahead of the tunnel face is crucial for optimizing tunnel construction strategies, enhancing safety, and reducing geological risks. This study developed three hybrid models using random forest (RF) optimized by moth-flame optimization (MFO), gray wolf optimizer (GWO), and Bayesian optimization (BO) algorithms to classify the surrounding rock in real …
Earthquake prediction is one of the most challenging enterprises of science. Any prediction system must be based on the search for a precursor appearing during the preparation phase of an earthquake in the ground, atmosphere, or ionosphere that can anticipate its occurrence. We present methods to detect potential pre-earthquake anomalies. In particular, we show the analysis of lithospheric, atm…
We present a sensitivity analysis on the impact of input parameters and methods used on the results of a probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA). The accurate estimation of the parameters in recurrence models (declustering and fitting methods), along with the selection of scaling relationships for determining maximum magnitude and the selection of ground motion models (GMMs), enhance con…
The Lucanian site of Laurelli represents one of the largest, still poorly investigated, pre-Roman archaeological sites of the Cilento, Vallo di Diano and Alburni Geopark (southern Italy). The site lies on a large, low-relief surface in the upper portion of the Serrapotamo River basin, a right tributary of the Bussento River. Geomorphological, stratigraphical, archaeobotanical and archaeometric …
The northeastern region of India is one of the six most seismically active convergent plate tectonic areas in the world. The north–south convergence along the Indo-Tibetan Himalayan Ranges and the east–west subduction within the Indo-Burma Ranges create a complex stress regime, resulting in significant seismic activity and a history of great/large earthquakes. The region’s intricate strai…
This study investigates the application of Compositional Data Analysis (CoDA) and multivariate statistical techniques to geochemical data from the soils of the Campania region. The dataset examined includes 3571 soil samples analyzed for 37 chemical elements. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was employed to reduce the dataset’s dimensionality and identify key relationships between elements.…
