Study on the permeability of oil shale during in situ pyrolysis [PDF]
It is of great significance to quantitatively study the permeability of oil shale and its variation during in situ pyrolysis, which can be used to predict the hydrogeological environment changes induced by the in situ pyrolysis process.

Mars In Situ Resource Utilization Technology Evaluation [PDF]
We have examined the technologies required to enable Mars In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) because our understanding of Mars resources has changed significantly in the last five years as a result of recent robotic missions to the red planet. Two major developments, (1) confirmation of the presence of near-surface water in the form of ice in very ...
