Prediction of the intensity of earthquake-induced motions at the ground surface attracts extensive attention from the geoscience community due to the significant threat it poses to humans and the built environment. Several factors are involved, including earthquake magnitude, epicentral distance, and local soil conditions. The local site effects, such as resonance amplification, topographic foc…
In this study, an ANN-derived innovative model was developed for estimating the failure soil depths of rainfall-induced shallow landslide events, named the SM_EFD_LS model. The proposed SM_EFD_LS model was created using the modified ANN model via the genetic algorithm calibration approach (GA-SA) with multiple transfer functions (MTFs) (ANN_GA-SA_MTF) with a significant number of failure soil d…
This paper presents a thorough guide to simulating jet grouting using the Moving Particle Semi-Implicit (MPS) method for numerical analysis and Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) for model development. It addresses the shortcomings of previous jet grouting simulation studies, which often lacked clear and comprehensive guidelines, by providing a detailed step-by-step approach. The key aspects of t…
Fluid–soil interaction plays a pivotal role in various geotechnical engineering applications, as it significantly influences processes such as erosion, sediment transport, and soil stability. Modeling fluid–soil particle interactions in these contexts presents substantial challenges due to the inherent complexity of the interactions occurring across multiple characteristic scales. The prima…
The study of the influence of geological structure (e.g., faults) on radon emanations is usually applicable provided that there are conditionally background (control) territories with which radon indicators will be compared. In the presented study, we selected an area where pre-Cenozoic faults that could potentially be associated with the radon hazard of the Kuznetsk coal basin were not identif…
The present study focuses on analysis of the soil cover structure (SCS, SCSs), which is the most detailed level of soil organization in space. The detail in which complex SCS can be studied is often insufficient, since until now it has not been possible to map it over large areas at scales larger than 1:10,000. To increase the detail in which SCS can be studied, the methods of identifying the b…
The Peruvian Amazon faces an increasing threat of soil erosion, driven by unsustainable agricultural practices and accelerated deforestation. In Neshuya (Ucayali region), agricultural activity has intensified since 2014, but the effect on soil erosion is unknown. The present study aimed to evaluate the increase in erosion levels, at a sub-basin of the central–eastern Amazon of Peru, in a Geog…
Since its arrival in late November 2022, ChatGPT-3.5 has rapidly gained popularity and significantly impacted how research is planned, conducted, and published using a generative artificial intelligence approach. ChatGPT-4 was released four months later and became more popular in November 2023. However, there is little study about the perception of scientists of these chatbots, especially in so…
The purpose of this work is to assess the soil fertility for Tulaipanji rice cultivation in Kaliyaganj C.D. Block using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Machine learning algorithms along with the field survey data and GIS. A total of 40 soil samples from Tulaipanji rice fields (from 0 to 40 cm depth) have been randomly collected for the analysis of the soil health condition. For the …
In geosciences, kriging is leading spatial interpolation, and co-kriging is the most commonly used method for accomplishing spatial interpolation of a target variable by incorporating information from a secondary variable. Co-kriging relies on the assumption of spatial stationarity, which may not hold true in all geospatial contexts, leading to potential inaccuracies in interpolation. The effec…
