Combining geophysical prospection and core drilling: Reconstruction of a Late Bronze Age copper mine at Prigglitz-Gasteil in the Eastern Alps (Austria). [PDF]
Abstract Prehistoric mines are often too large and too deep for conventional archaeological excavations. Non‐destructive and minimally invasive methods of prospection can help to overcome these limits. Our case study of a Late Bronze Age opencast mine (ca.

Georadar - high resolution geophysical electromagnetic device
Georadar is a high resolution geophysical electromagnetic device that was developed in the first part of the 1980's. In Slovenia it was first tested in 1991 on several objects of economicgeological, geotechnical and hydrogeologic nature.Here its ...

Non‐invasive surveys to assess animal burrows as potential causes of levee instability
Abstract Animal activities threaten levee stability, especially during flood events, increasing levee failure risk. Indeed, while dens alter hydraulically‐induced failure mechanisms, it is difficult to locate them and to know in advance if critical conditions may be reached.

Kinematic Evolution of a Large Paraglacial Landslide in the Barry Arm Fjord of Alaska
Abstract Our warming climate is adversely affecting cryospheric landscapes via glacial retreat, permafrost degradation, and associated slope destabilization. In Prince William Sound, Alaska, the rapid retreat of Barry Glacier has destabilized the slopes flanking the glacier, resulting in numerous landslides. The largest of these landslides (∼500 Mm3 in

Abstract An extensive magnetic survey has been carried out on a large part of the Roman and late antique city of Pollentia (Alcúdia, Mallorca, Spain), combined with ground penetrating radar (GPR) and electric resistivity imaging (ER Imaging) to obtain data for a better understanding of the ancient city.

Unprecedented Observation of Hourly Rock Glacier Velocity With Ground‐Based SAR
Abstract The kinematic acceleration of rock glaciers observed in recent decades shows that the behavior of these landforms is related to climate change. Velocity variations on yearly to seasonal time scales are frequently investigated, but velocity changes measured on shorter time scales (i.e., on hourly resolutions) are as yet poorly investigated.

Abstract Local reinforcement corrosion damage reduces the load‐bearing capacity of reinforced concrete structures and, even more severely, their deformation capacity. This problem is of particular concern for cantilever retaining walls, whose loading is dominated by earth pressure and hence, depends on the wall deformations.

Integration of geological and geophysical data of different quality into the stochastic description of aquifers [PDF]
Many of the present problems in hydrogeology such as old waste disposal sites and the risk of the infiltration of contaminated riverwater concern the protection of groundwater. Solutions of qualitative and quantitative, site-specific groundwater problems

The void phenomenon behind the tunnel lining has become the main cause of tunnel disease, easily triggering tunnel lining structure damage, shedding, water seepage, and other diseases that seriously threaten the normal operation of the tunnel. The void area behind the lining seriously reduces the seismic capacity of the tunnel.
