Advancements in high-resolution in-situ analyses have led to the extensive use of mineral diffusion zonings in determining petrologic and orogenic rates. The diffusion simulation, especially in multi-element systems, is numerically complex in practice. To streamline the application, we developed DIFFUSUP, a software featuring a graphic user interface (GUI) that facilitates the numerical simulat…
This paper provides a new open-source software, named BioReactPy, for simulation of microbial-mediated coupled processes of flow and reactive transport in porous media. The software is based on the micro-continuum approach, and geochemistry is handled in a fully coupled manner with biomass-nutrient growth treated with Monod equation in a single integrated framework, without dependencies on thir…
Rocks formed during different geologic time record the diverse evolution of the geosphere and biosphere. In the past decades, substantial geoscience data have been made open access, providing invaluable resources for studying the stratigraphy in different regions and at different scales. However, many open datasets have information recorded in natural language with heterogeneous terminologies, …
This paper presents an enhanced 3D heat map for exploratory data analysis (EDA) of open mineral data, addressing the challenges caused by rapidly evolving datasets and ensuring scientifically meaningful data exploration. The Mindat website, a crowd-sourced database of mineral species, provides a constantly updated open data source via its newly established application programming interface (API…
The field of geology has been the subject of a range of research efforts aiming to formalize geological domain knowledge, notably through geological domain ontologies. The main focus of existing geological ontologies primarily lies in describing static geological objects and their properties, paying less attention to the knowledge concerning geological processes and events. Meanwhile, the geolo…
We explore an attenuation and shape-based identification of euhedral pyrites in high-resolution X-ray Computed Tomography (XCT) data using deep neural networks. To deal with the scarcity of annotated data we generate a complementary training set of synthetic images. To investigate and address the domain gap between the synthetic and XCT data, several deep learning models, with and without domai…
The increasing scale and diversity of seismic data, and the growing role of big data in seismology, has raised interest in methods to make data exploration more accessible. This paper presents the use of knowledge graphs (KGs) for representing seismic data and metadata to improve data exploration and analysis, focusing on usability, flexibility, and extensibility. Using constraints derived from…
We introduce GeaVR, an open-source package containing tools for geological-structural exploration and mapping in Immersive Virtual Reality (VR). GeaVR also makes it possible to carry out quantitative data collection on 3D realistic, referenced and scaled Virtual Reality scenarios. Making use of Immersive Virtual Reality technology through the Unity game engine, GeaVR works with commercially ava…
Inland water bodies play a vital role at all scales in the terrestrial water balance and Earth’s climate variability. Thus, an inventory of inland waters is crucially important for hydrologic and ecological studies and management. Therefore, the main aim of this study was to develop a deep learning-based method for inventorying and mapping inland water bodies using the RGB band of high-resolu…
In the field of geosciences, the integration of artificial intelligence is transitioning from perceptual intelligence to cognitive intelligence. The simultaneous utilization of knowledge and data in the geoscience domain is a universally addressed concern. In this paper, based on the interpretability of deep learning models for rock images, rock features such as structure, texture, mineral and …
