Geoscientists are increasingly tasked with spatially predicting a target variable in the presence of auxiliary information using supervised machine learning algorithms. Typically, the target variable is observed at a few sampling locations due to the relatively time-consuming and costly process of obtaining measurements. In contrast, auxiliary variables are often exhaustively observed within th…
Gully erosion is one of the important problems creating barrier to agricultural development. The present research used the radial basis function neural network (RBFnn) and its ensemble with random sub-space (RSS) and rotation forest (RTF) ensemble Meta classifiers for the spatial mapping of gully erosion susceptibility (GES) in Hinglo river basin. 120 gullies were marked and grouped into four-f…
Attenuation of migration artifacts on Kirchhoff migrated seismic data can be challenging due to the relatively low amplitude of migration artifacts compared to reflections as well as the overlap in the kinematics of reflection and migration smiles. Several ‘conventional’ filtering methods exist and recently deep learning based workflows have been proposed. A deep learning workflow can be a …
Most known mineral deposits were discovered by accident using expensive, time-consuming, and knowledge-based methods such as stream sediment geochemical data, diamond drilling, reconnaissance geochemical and geophysical surveys, and/or remote sensing. Recent years have seen a decrease in the number of newly discovered mineral deposits and a rise in demand for critical raw materials, prompting e…
In exploration geochemistry, advances in the detection limit, breadth of elements analyze-able, accuracy and precision of analytical instruments have motivated the re-analysis of legacy samples to improve confidence in geochemical data and gain more insights into potentially mineralized areas. While a re-analysis campaign in a geochemical exploration program modernizes legacy geochemical data b…
Reliable seismic phase identification is often challenging especially in the circumstances of low-magnitude events or poor signal-to-noise ratio. With improved seismometers and better global coverage, a sharp increase in the volume of recorded seismic data has been achieved. This makes handling seismic data rather daunting by using traditional approaches and therefore fuels the need for more ro…
The Xingmeng orogenic belt is located in the eastern section of the Central Asian orogenic belt, which is one of the key areas to study the formation and evolution of the Central Asian orogenic belt. At present, there is a huge controversy over the closure time of the Paleo-Asian Ocean in the Xingmeng orogenic belt. One of the reasons is that the genetic tectonic setting of the Carboniferous vo…
A separator and multiphase flow meters are considered the most accurate tools used to measure the surface oil flow rates. However, these tools are expensive and time consuming. Thus, this study aims to develop a correlation for accurate and quick evaluation of well surface flow rates and consequently the well inflow performance relationship. In order to achieve the abovementioned aim, this stud…
Strong convective systems and the associated heavy rainfall events can trig-ger floods and landslides with severe detrimental consequences. These events have a high spatio-temporal variability, being difficult to predict by standard meteorological numerical models. This work proposes the M5Images method for performing the very short-term prediction (nowcasting) of heavy convective rainfall usin…
Solving the wave equation is one of the most (if not the most) fundamental problems we face as we try to illuminate the Earth using recorded seismic data. The Helmholtz equation provides wavefield solutions that are dimensionally reduced, per frequency, compared to the time domain, which is useful for many applications, like full waveform inversion. However, our ability to attain such wavefield…
