The Asymmetric Development of Remote Areas in Texas

Rural Sociology, Volume 91, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Drawing on the reciprocal dynamics of the growth machine framework, we test whether there was a bidirectional association between road construction and land development in remote, non‐metropolitan census tracts in Texas between 2010 and 2019, during a time when these areas experienced countering land‐use pressures from resource extraction ...

Who Owns the Landscape? Policy Conflict Over the Proposed Designation of Křivoklátsko as a National Park

Review of Policy Research, Volume 43, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Nature conservation conflicts increasingly extend beyond ecological objectives to disputes over decision‐making legitimacy, institutional authority, and competing understandings of landscape and expertise. This article examines the conflict over the proposed designation of Křivoklátsko as a national park in the Czech Republic between 2021 and ...

Machine Learning Approaches for Predicting Total Organic Carbon From Petrophysical Well Logs in the Wufeng–Longmaxi Shale, Southeast Sichuan Basin, China

Geoscience Data Journal, Volume 13, Issue 4, October 2026.
This study demonstrates the application of machine learning models—Random Forest, XGBoost, and Multiple Linear Regression—to predict Total Organic Carbon (TOC) from well logs, significantly improving TOC prediction accuracy and reliability across diverse geological settings compared to traditional log‐based methods.

Using synthetic models to understand the detecting ability of ground‐penetrating radar for water‐conducting structures in the bedrock of formerly glaciated site

Near Surface Geophysics, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 669-692, October 2026.
Abstract Utilizing synthetic models for the interpretation of ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) profiles can aid in the detection of hydrogeological structures by identifying their signatures. In this study, finite difference (FD) forward modelling was used to understand the detection ability of 50 MHz GPR for (1) the quaternary deposit–bedrock contact ...

A New Experimental Design to Measure Second‐ and Third‐Order Anisotropic Rock‐Stiffness Coefficients Using a Single‐Rock Sample

Geophysical Prospecting, Volume 74, Issue 8, October 2026.
ABSTRACT We developed a new experimental setup for measuring and modelling stress‐induced anisotropy and nonlinearity in cylindrical rock samples. Multidirectional ultrasonic velocity measurements were conducted under laboratory conditions and during triaxial‐stress testing to capture dynamic rock properties. This is done by placing endcap transducers (

The Unexpected Discovery of Paleocene? Coals in Outcrops Thought to Be Cambrian, Al Huqf, Oman

Journal of Petroleum Geology, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 1179-1194, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Two brown organic deposits were encountered whilst investigating kaolinitic claystones thought to occur at the base of a Cambrian formation at outcrop. The age of these organic deposits is probably Paleocene from palynology. Organic petrography shows that they are subbituminous coals with some oil source potential.

1D Basin Modelling of Upper Jurassic to Upper Cretaceous Source Rocks in the Southern Pletmos Sub‐Basin, Outeniqua Basin, Offshore South Africa

Journal of Petroleum Geology, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 1382-1411, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The Pletmos sub‐basin in the Outeniqua Basin, offshore South Africa, is divided by the Superior, Pletmos and Plettenberg faults into northern and southern depocentres. In this study, geological and organic geochemical data together with 1D basin modelling were used to investigate the burial, thermal and maturation histories, and the timing of ...

Diagenetic controls on porosity evolution and pore type organisation in microporous carbonate rocks: Evidence for mesogenetic porosity formation

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 6, Page 2353-2380, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Microporous carbonate rocks typically record complex diagenetic histories driven by microbial activity and fluid interactions within multiple diagenetic environments. The relative roles of meteoric and burial diagenetic processes in pore evolution remain debated, particularly within Cretaceous carbonate systems of the Middle East, as does the ...

From NMR Signals to Fracture Size: Capillary-Controlled Conversion for Shale

Magnetochemistry
Fracture size governs fluid mobility in shale, yet its direct quantification remains challenging. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) transverse relaxation time (T2) offers a unique, non-destructive probe of fracture size distributions; however, a ...
