Cretaceous-to-recent record of elevated 3He/4He along the Hawaiian-Emperor volcanic chain [PDF]
, 2004 Helium isotopes are a robust geochemical tracer of a primordial mantle component in hot spot volcanism. The high 3He/4He (up to 35 RA, where RA is the atmospheric 3He/4He ratio of 1.39 × 10−6) of some Hawaiian Island volcanism is perhaps the classic ...

A review of multiscale numerical modeling of rock mechanics and rock engineering
Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.Multiscale numerical methods of rock mechanics and rock engineering are reviewed, and the review results show that more attention should be paid to the development of an advanced constitutive model in addition to numerical techniques themselves. Abstract Rock is geometrically and mechanically multiscale in nature, and the traditional phenomenological ...

Elevated temperature effects on swelling pressure of compacted bentonite
Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.We present a set of new experimental investigations on the effects of elevated temperature on the swelling pressure development of compacted bentonite. This research was motivated by an emerging interest in using bentonite as a plug material in oil and gas well abandonment.

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.Upon conceptualization of structural behavior, foundations in terms of their form are divided into linear (1D), planar (2D), and volumetric (3D). Regarding the load transfer mechanisms, linear foundation systems are considered vector‐acting, planar foundations are divided into section and surface‐acting, and volumetric ones are recognized as block ...

Volatiles in glasses from the HSDP2 drill core [PDF]
, 2004 H2O, CO2, S, Cl, and F concentrations are reported for 556 glasses from the submarine section of the 1999 phase of HSDP drilling in Hilo, Hawaii, providing a high-resolution record of magmatic volatiles over ~200 kyr of a Hawaiian volcano's lifetime ...

Data‐driven analysis of the spatial dependence of grouting efficiency during tunnel excavation
Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.Prediction of grouting efficiency using machine learning is enhanced by adopting a training strategy that accounts for the grouting process across multiple rounds. Abstract Grouting with water–cement mixtures is the most widely used and cost‐effective method for managing excess water inflow during tunnel construction.

Deep lithospheric dynamics beneath the Sierra Nevada during the Mesozoic and Cenozoic as inferred from xenolith petrology [PDF]
, 2001 Peridotite xenoliths erupted in late Miocene basalts (~8 Ma) in the central Sierra Nevada sample a lithosphere that is vertically stratified in terms of age and thermal history.

Gels for CO2 geo‐storage and conformance control: A systemic review of behavior and performance
Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.This review provides a systemic evaluation of potential sealants used in CO2 subsurface storage practices. Critical analyses of how external factors like CO2, pH, brine salinity and hardness, rock mineralogy, pressure, temperature, and injectivity could affect the performance of different sealants are provided. Abstract Carbon capture and storage (CCS)

Acrylic purification and coatings
, 2011 Radon (Rn) and its decay daughters are a well-known source of background in direct WIMP detection experiments, as either a Rn decay daughter or an alpha particle emitted from a thin inner surface layer of a detector could produce a WIMP-like signal ...
