Good constraints on hydrogeological properties are an important first step in any quantitative
model of groundwater flow. Field estimation of permeability is difficult as it varies over orders …

Open natural fractures allow fluids to flow, which is necessary for the production of low-
permeable geothermal and petroleum reservoirs. These reservoirs often consist of …

Bed-normal fractures or joints are common in sedimentary basins (reservoirs). Fracture
spacing S is an important parameter affecting both the mechanical stability and permeability …

In this study, we use an integrated geologic mapping technique for remote mapping of
lineaments and geologic terrain. Our workflow is based on geographic information system …

Fracture spacing (s) distribution and its dependence on bed thickness (t) are investigated for
opening-mode joints in sandstone interlayered with shale in the Sainte-Anne des Monts …

It is known that rock fracture includes inelastic straining or damage that should localize at a
certain loading stage and result in fracture initiation. The details of this process are not clear …

Abstract The Chloride Mass Balance (CMB) method was used to obtain long-term recharge
values for the Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL) site, which features a groundwater flow …

In the last 20 years, major efforts have been made to investigate shallow flow-type
landslides. Such phenomena are usually rainfall-induced and in the geological context of …

Analysis of natural fractures is essential for understanding the heterogeneity of basement
reservoirs with carbonate rocks since natural fractures significantly control key attributes …

Understanding the distribution and geometry of faults and fractures is critical for predicting
both subsurface permeability architecture and the integrity of geological fluid barriers …
