The digital reconstruction of reservoir rock or porous media is important as it enables us to visualize and explore their real internal structures. The reservoir rocks (such as sandstone and carbonate) contain both spatial and temporal characteristics, which pose a big challenge in their characterization through routine core analysis or x-ray microcomputer tomography. While x-ray micro-computed…
Our study pioneers an innovative use of unsupervised machine learning, a powerful tool for navigating unclassified data, to unravel the complexities of subsurface seismic activities and extract meaningful patterns. Our central objective is to comprehensively characterize seismicity within an active region by identifying distinct seismic clusters in spatial distribution, thereby gaining a deeper…
Landform maps are important tools in assessment of soil- and eco-hydrogeomorphic processes and hazards, hydrological modeling, and natural resources and land management. Traditional techniques of mapping landforms based on field surveys or from aerial photographs can be time and labor intensive, highlighting the importance of remote sensing products based automatic or semi-automatic approaches.…
The flood hazards in the southwest coastal region of India in 2018 and 2020 resulted in numerous casualties and the displacement of over a million people from their homes. In order to mitigate the loss of life and resources caused by recurrent major and minor flood events, it is imperative to develop a comprehensive spatial flood zonation map of the entire area. Therefore, the main aim of the p…
Kerala, a coastal state in India characterized by its humid tropical monsoon climate, is profoundly influenced by the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea. Kerala receives significant rainfall during both the southwest monsoon (June to September, JJAS) and the northeast monsoon (October to December, OND) seasons. Given the substantial impact of rainfall on the state's economy and livelihoods, accu…
Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), specifically the Pix2Pix GAN, are used to effectively map gravity anomalies from satellite to ground, and adapt the Pix2Pix GAN model for large-scale data transformation. The impact of varying patch sizes on model performance is investigated using key metrics to ensure improved accuracy in gravity anomaly mapping. The model used 2728 satellite, and 2728 g…
This research aims to forecast maximum temperatures and the frequency of heatwave days across four different temperature zones (Zone 1, 2, 3 and 4) in India. These four zones are categorized based on the 30-year average maximum temperatures (T30AMT) during the summer months of April, May, and June (AMJ). Two Machine Learning (ML) algorithms eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) and Support Vector…
Utilization of subsurface resources is essential to achieve energy sustainability including large-scale CO sequestration, H storage, geothermal energy extraction, and hydrocarbon recovery. In-situ visualization of fluid flow in geological media is essential to understand complex, coupled, physical and chemical processes underlying fluid injection, storage, extraction. X-ray Computed Tomogra…
Detecting seismic events in real-time for prompt alerts and responses is a challenging task that requires accurately capturing P-wave arrivals. This task becomes even more challenging in regions like Indonesia, where widely spaced seismic stations exist. The wide station spacing makes associating the seismic signals with specific even more difficult. This paper proposes a novel deep learning-ba…
The application of machine learning (ML) techniques to climate science has received significant attention, particularly in the field of climate predictions, ranging from sub-seasonal to decadal time scales. This paper reviews recent progress of ML techniques employed in climate phenomena prediction and the enhancement of dynamic forecast models, which provide valuable insights into the great po…
