DeFault: Deep-learning-based Fault Delineation Using the IBDP Passive Seismic Data at the Decatur CO2 Storage Site [PDF]
The carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) framework is an essential component in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, with its success hinging on the comprehensive knowledge of subsurface geology and geomechanics. Passive seismic event relocation and fault detection serve as indispensable tools, offering vital insights into subsurface ...

This study presents an innovative approach to evaluate cell‐mediated biomineralization using μ‐X‐ray fluorescence spectroscopy. By generating elemental maps, the evaluation of mineral deposition by osteoblasts can be assessed in terms of both spatial distribution and degree of maturity.

Hydraulic Fracture Propagation in Naturally Fractured Reservoirs: Complex Fracture or Fracture Networks [PDF]
Understanding the behavior of fluid-driven hydraulic fracture in naturally fractured reservoirs is crucial in the development of geothermal energy and unconventional reservoirs. This study presents a fully-coupled numerical model to investigate hydraulic propagation in naturally fractured reservoirs, along with a comprehensive discussion on field ...

Abstract Saber‐tooths, extinct apex predators with long and blade‐like upper canines, have appeared iteratively at least five times in the evolutionary history of vertebrates. Although saber‐tooths exhibit a relatively diverse range of morphologies, it is widely accepted that all killed their prey using the same predatory behavior. In this study, we CT‐

ABSTRACT Acid gases, containing CO2 and H2S, are by‐products of gas sweetening. Geological sequestration of these gases in naturally fractured reservoirs (NFRs) is a practical method to reduce greenhouse gas emission. An industrially accepted approach to simulate fluid flow in NFRs is the dual‐porosity method; however, this method needs multiple ...

Pore-scale characterization and modelling of CO2 flow in tight sandstones using X-ray micro-CT; Knorringfjellet formation of the Longyearbyen CO2 lab, Svalbard [PDF]
Rocks of the Knorringfjellet Formation in Central Spitsbergen form a potential storage reservoir for CO2 below Longyearbyen. They are characterised by a moderate porosity and low permeability.

Dike Propagation During Global Contraction: Making Sense of Conflicting Stress Histories on Mercury
Thrust fault-related landforms, smooth plains units, and impact craters and basins have all been observed on the surface of Mercury. While tectonic landforms point to a long-lived history of global cooling and contraction, smooth plains units have been ...

Experimental evidence of electrification processes at the 2009 LAquila earthquake mainshock [PDF]
Two types of coseismic magnetic field events are simultaneously observed: transient offset events and magnetic field signal that occurred at the destructive, Mw6.1 LAquila earthquake (EQ) mainshock. The offset event, conventionally interpreted as a signature of piezomagnetic effects, however could not be ascribed as such.
