Broadband Dielectric Analysis of Clays: Impact of Cation Exchange Capacity, Water Content, and Porosity

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Clay‐rich soils and sediments are key components of near‐surface systems, influencing water retention, ion exchange, and structural stability. Their complex dielectric response under moist conditions arises from surface–ion electrostatics and diffuse double layers that govern transport and retention processes. This study explores the broadband

Impacts of Temperature‐ and Stress‐Dependent Rheology on Ice‐Shelf‐Front Bending

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Classical treatments of ice‐shelf bending suggest that shelf fronts should bend downwards, due to the distribution of hydrostatic water pressure at the front. However, LiDAR data show several instances of upward‐bending ice‐shelf fronts. While this phenomenon has often been attributed to a buoyant force from a submerged ice bench, recent work ...

Detection of a target in a rock formation using the radar fracture mapping tool [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
A method to locate fractures adjacent to, but not intersecting, an uncased wellbore would be a great aid to the geothermal industry. A prototype downhole radar probe was recently completed with the aim of locating fractures near a single wellbore.

Survey and Sequence Strategies for Full‐3D Electrical Resistivity Tomography in Archaeological Sites: A Case Study on a Domus of the Roman Town of Augusta Bagiennorum (NW Italy)

open access: yesArchaeological Prospection, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 87-107, January/March 2026.
ABSTRACT Preliminary geophysical investigations are a cost‐effective and efficient way to screen archaeological sites and locate buried structures. Ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) is one of the most widely used methods for archaeological prospection, but in some sites, it cannot be employed effectively due to the presence of clay or other electrically ...

Research on Vertical Deformation Patterns of Airport Runway Surfaces Caused by Horizontal Directional Drilling Based on Ansys

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Transportation, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This study investigates the impact of horizontal directional drilling (HDD) technology on the vertical surface deformations of airport runways, specifically in the context of airport lighting system renovations. Taking Guanghan Airport (China) as a case study, the research combines field experiments with finite element numerical simulations to analyze ...

Radar Polarimetry in Glaciology: Theory, Measurement Techniques, and Scientific Applications for Investigating the Anisotropy of Ice Masses

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract Dielectric anisotropy in ice alters the propagation of polarized radio waves, so polarimetric radar sounding can be used to survey anisotropic properties of ice masses. Ice anisotropy is either intrinsic, associated with ice‐crystal orientation fabric (COF), or extrinsic, associated with material heterogeneity, such as bubbles, fractures, and ...

Effective Elastic Parameters for In Situ, Drifting Sea Ice Under Natural Forcing Conditions at Kilometer Scales

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Stress–strain relationships are fundamental to understanding deformation mechanics in any material. In sea ice, stress–strain relationships are typically observed by measuring the strain resulting from known stress in samples wholly or partially isolated from the surrounding ice.

James Buttle Review: Dynamic Water Storage Shapes Critical Zone Function in Snow‐Dominated Mountain Watersheds

open access: yesHydrological Processes, Volume 39, Issue 11, November 2025.
Dynamic storage in snow‐dominated mountain systems includes snowpacks, plant accessible water (PAW), groundwater and surface. We summarise recent advances in measuring and modelling these dynamic stores. Our review highlights spatial heterogeneity and time evolution of capacity and filling/depletion of these stores and discusses implications for ...

Imaging Brine Infiltration and Basal Marine Ice in Larsen C Ice Shelf, Antarctic Peninsula, From Borehole Measurements and Transient Electromagnetics

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 17, 16 September 2025.
Abstract The presence and nature of marine ice in ice shelves is important, yet difficult to determine. We present transient electromagnetic results spanning 10 km across a suture zone of Larsen C Ice Shelf (LCIS), Antarctica, supported by central borehole measurements. Our results indicate the presence of two ice‐shelf layers.

The Limitations of a Standard Phase‐Field Model in Reproducing Jointing in Sedimentary Rock Layers

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 2709-2727, 10 August 2025.
ABSTRACT Geological applications of phase‐field methods for fracture are notably scarce. This work conducts a numerical examination of the applicability of standard phase‐field models in reproducing jointing within sedimentary layers. We explore how the volumetric‐deviatoric split alongside the AT1 and AT2 phase‐field formulations has several ...
