A Coupled Extended Finite Element–Cohesive Zone Model for Hydraulic Fracture Propagation Under Poroelastic Effects Across Different Propagation Regimes

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Numerical simulation of hydraulic fracturing remains challenging due to the strong coupling between geomechanics and fluid flow when modelling multiple physical mechanisms of rock deformation, fracture evolution and fluid leak‐off. This study develops a coupled hydraulic fracture propagation framework that combines the extended finite element ...

A Geographic Information-Assisted Temporal Mixture Analysis for Addressing the Issue of Endmember Class and Endmember Spectra Variability

Sensors, 2017
Spectral mixture analysis (SMA) is a common approach for parameterizing biophysical fractions of urban environment and widely applied in many fields. For successful SMA, the selection of endmember class and corresponding spectra has been assumed as the ...

Quadratic Clustering-Based Simplex Volume Maximization for Hyperspectral Endmember Extraction

Applied Sciences, 2022
The existence of intra-class spectral variability caused by differential scene components and illumination conditions limits the improvement of endmember extraction accuracy, as most endmember extraction algorithms directly find pixels in the ...

Integrating fossil data in ecological niche models to improve predictions of future habitat of Caribbean corals

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecological niche models (ENMs) are used to assess the abiotic preferences of species by linking their occurrences to the environmental conditions in which they live. We developed a fossil‐informed ENM framework that integrates mid‐Holocene and modern occurrences to test niche stability and reconstruct abiotic niche characteristics for four ...

Predicting Groundwater Hydrochemical Facies in Three Dimensions with Random Forest Classification, USA

Groundwater, EarlyView.
Random forest classification predictions of groundwater hydrochemical facies (HCFs) can be used for multiple purposes, including the mapping of salinity and other groundwater characteristics. Shown on the figure are predictions of HCFs at the water table across the conterminous United States.

Fast Unmixing of Noisy Hyperspectral Images Based on Vertex Component Analysis and Singular Spectrum Analysis Algorithms

Canadian Journal of Remote Sensing, 2020
Efficient denoising is of great significance to unmixing hyperspectral images. In the present study, a fast unmixing method for noisy hyperspectral images based on the combination of vertex component analysis and singular spectrum analysis is proposed ...

Bayesian Subpixel Mapping of Hyperspectral Imagery via Discrete Endmember Variability Mixture Model and Markov Random Field

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2022
Although Bayesian methods have been very effective for spatial–spectral analysis of hyperspectral imagery (HSI), they had not been fully explored for enhanced subpixel mapping (SPM) by simultaneously considering several key issues, i.e., endmember

Spectral Unmixing With Perturbed Endmembers

IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2017
We consider the problem of supervised spectral unmixing with a fully-perturbed linear mixture model where the given endmembers, as well as the observations of the spectral image, are subject to perturbation due to noise, error, mismatch, etc. We calculate the Fisher information matrix and the Cramer-Rao lower bound associated with the estimation of the

When Density Matters: Hydraulic and Salinity Evolution in Groundwater‐Fed Pit Lakes in Semiarid and Arid Climates

Groundwater, EarlyView.
Pit lakes in semiarid and arid regions are often assumed to be terminal sinks for groundwater following mine closure. Using synthetic numerical modeling, we demonstrate that evaporation‐driven density gradients can reverse this behavior, transforming pit lakes into throughflow systems and potentially increasing salinity in adjacent aquifers.

Variable Sr Diffusion and Implications for Rb–Sr Biotite Geochronology

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rubidium–strontium (Rb–Sr) system has a long pedigree as a geochronological tool that relies on the application of an isochron approach. In particular, biotite contains strongly radiogenic Rb–Sr isotopes, and thus can yield meaningful crystallisation or cooling ages via this approach. However, the response of the Rb–Sr system in biotite to
