A Temporal Fusion Method For Modeling The Rate Of Penetration During Deep Geological Drilling, Zhou Yang, Lu Chengda, Wu Min, Chen Xin, Yao Ningping, Song Haitao, Zhang Youzhen
Coal Geology & Exploration
Objective Given that the rate of penetration (ROP) serves as a key indicator of drilling efficiency, constructing an accurate ROP model holds great significance for optimizing drilling processes and reducing drilling costs. However, deep geological drilling faces challenges such as nonlinearity, non-convex optimization, multiple operating conditions, and temporal variations. Consequently, traditional modeling methods are difficult to adapt to complex geologic environments. Methods To address these challenges, this study proposed a fusion method combined with temporal regulation for ROP modeling: the SVR-MDBO method. Initially, a basic ROP model was constructed using support vector regression (SVR) to solve the nonlinear problem caused …

Frequency-Domain Induced Polarization Responses Of Water-Bearing Anomalous Bodies In The Roadway Tunneling Direction In Coal Mines, Hu Xiongwu, Hu Yuanrong, Wu Rongxin, Yu Hao
Coal Geology & Exploration
Objective A frequency-domain induced polarization (FDIP) method enables the observation of critical electrical parameters such as frequency dispersivity and complex resistivity of geological bodies, mitigating the multiplicity of solutions in the interpretations of electrical anomalies. This method has emerged as a primary technique for electric method-based advance water detection during roadway tunneling in coal mines. However, the FDIP method primarily focuses on data observation in the direction opposite to roadway tunneling, exhibiting a limited capacity to capture geoelectric information in the roadway tunneling direction. This leads to practical challenges such as unclear orientations of water-bearing anomalous bodies. Therefore, exploring the …

The structure, function, and dynamics of Earth's terrestrial ecosystems are profoundly influenced by how often (frequency) and how long (duration) they are inundated with water. A diverse array of natural and human-engineered systems experience temporally variable inundation whereby they fluctuate between inundated and non-inundated states. Variable inundation spans extreme events to predictable sub-daily cycles. Variably inundated ecosystems (VIEs) include hillslopes, non-perennial streams, wetlands, floodplains, temporary ponds, tidal systems, storm-impacted coastal zones, and human-engineered systems. VIEs are diverse in terms of inundation regimes, water chemistry and flow velocity, soil and sediment properties, vegetation, and many other properties. The spatial and temporal …

The Tibetan Plateau, known as the “Asian water tower,” is a hotspot for complex hydroclimatic changes. We reveal that the previously decreasing atmospheric evaporative demand (Eo) trend at the end of the 20th century has reversed over the last two decades. Although both wind stilling and solar dimming have persisted, their effects on Eo rates have been overshadowed by increasing air temperatures and decreasing relative humidity, leading to a net rise in Eo for 1980−2015. Using the empirical “top-down” Budyko approach, we estimate that across seven sub-catchments draining the Tibetan Plateau, a 10% increase in annual-averaged …

Stratonikeia, a city in the interior of the Caria region, is located at Eskihisar settlement within the borders of Yatağan town of Muğla city. The ancient city’s foundation dates back to 5000 BC, making it one of the oldest settlements in southwest Turkey. It is strategically located between the Inner Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean regions. Due to its location, the city has always been important during its history. The Greek type of theater, which is the main topic of this paper, is one of the most remarkable structures known to date from the Hellenistic period and is made of marble …

Forest Fires Increase Mid-Winter Snowmelt In The Western Oregon Cascades, Sage Ebel
Dissertations and Theses
As the spatiotemporal overlap between burned forests, seasonal snow, extreme precipitation, and mid-winter warming continues to increase with climate change, it is critical we quantify the impacts of forest fires and rain-on-snow (ROS) on mid-winter snowmelt and snow-water resources. In the Pacific Northwest, the release of large volumes of meltwater to downstream receiving water from already vulnerable snowpacks can have catastrophic consequences. I show that forest fires doubled mid-winter snowmelt proportions as compared to unburned reference sites, using a novel network of snow monitoring and micrometeorological stations installed across an elevational and forest type gradient in a burned watershed in …

The prevalent catalog-based Landslide Susceptibility Modelling (LSM) operates under the assumption that future landslide occurrences mirror past and current patterns. Due to growing urban expansion and climate change, certain landslides follow new patterns of occurrence, disrupting the foundational assumption of catalog-based LSM and leading to constraints in the effectiveness of traditional susceptibility maps. Here, to address this problem, we proposed a method to produce more accurate and dynamic landslide susceptibility maps by coupling advanced Ensemble Machine Learning (EML) and Multi-Temporal Interferometric SAR (MT-InSAR). The Wanzhou District in Three Gorges Reservoir area of China is considered as the test site. The …
