Hydraulic fracturing is a crucial technology for resource development, such as shale gas, and its optimization is necessary to enhance development efficiency. However, evaluating fracture shapes involves technical uncertainties. Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security (JOGMEC) and Kyoto University have conducted laboratory-scale hydraulic fracturing experiments using coagulable fluore…
Water prediction plays a crucial role in modern-day water resource management, encompassing both hydrological patterns and demand forecasts. To gain insights into its current focus, status, and emerging themes, this study analyzed 876 articles published between 2015 and 2022, retrieved from the Web of Science database. Leveraging CiteSpace visualization software, bibliometric techniques, and li…
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…
Using Python-based geospatial analytics, open-source web mapping technologies, geophysical data models, and subsurface stratigraphy models from the Regional Geology Geologic Framework Model database assembled by Los Alamos National Laboratory, we developed a suite of web-based geologic investigation tools to identify and understand subsurface structures and geophysical properties concerning sal…
Evolutionary trees showing interpretations of the divergences, lineages, extinctions and relative abundances of life forms through geologic time provide a very useful visualization for both public audiences and research communities. The Java-based TimeScale Creator platform was originally designed to present graphics of Earth history with a streamlined interface. We have added an evolutionary t…
Post-glacial land uplift and shore displacement are dynamic processes that are challenging to present with cartography and geovisualization. To communicate these phenomena, we have created a dynamic visualization in the form of high-quality animation, utilizing automated processes in the computation and rendering of large raster datasets. We have developed a simplified model to assess the past …
