It is imperative to comprehend these dwindling resources' characteristics, given their distribution and occurrence variability across the space and time. A semi-arid climate characterizes the study area and agriculture is the primary occupation, their reliance on groundwater is indispensable due to the lack of surface water sources and erratic rainfall patterns. Consequently, the study employed the Schlumberger array of 200 m-spaced half-current electrodes Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) survey was conducted at 100 VES locations to identify groundwater potential zones. Further, curve-matching and correlation of lithologies have been carried out from various VES-soundings, and also generated pseudo-cross sections of the subsurface geometry. The results revealed the existence of five geoelectrical resistivity layers as follows layer 1–6 to 422 Ωm, layer 2–8 to 7708 Ωm, layer 3–4 to 37117 Ωm, layer 4–37 to 95059 Ωm, and layer 5–205 to 83142 Ωm. The iso-apparent resistivity maps of the study area reveal values ranging for the first layer 11Ωm - 333 Ωm, the second layer 23Ωm - 5347Ωm, the third layer 11Ωm - 26734Ωm and 10Ωm - 67250Ωm for the fourth layer. The present research determined that the third and fourth layer constitute the principal aquifers due to their fractured structures. As a result, these layers produce a significant quantity of groundwater in the north-eastern (NE) and southern (S) regions of the study region. As a consequence of these findings, further exploration and management of groundwater resources in the study areas can be carried out with valuable insight.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101084,"journal":{"name":"Results in Earth Sciences","volume":"2 ","pages":"Article 100048"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142757457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Human activities such as urban expansion, food packaging, and the use of agricultural materials have driven a significant rise in microplastic contamination. The problem is compounded by the difficulty, expense, and time-intensive nature of analyzing soil erosion samples to accurately identify microplastic types, sources, and their effects. Soil erosion, while naturally shaping landscapes like hillslopes, deltas or river valleys, has evolved into a critical issue due to human-induced changes, threatening fertile agricultural zones and areas prone to landslides, with serious economic and human consequences. While validated methods exist to quantify soil erosion, runoff, and pollutant concentrations, these techniques inadvertently introduce microplastics into the environment by plastic materials during sampling, transport, and lab analysis. This not only skews historical and current data on microplastic levels in soils but also alters natural soil conditions around research plots. To address these challenges, this paper advocates for the refinement of measurement techniques to minimize contamination, a reassessment of current methodologies, and a concerted effort to reduce human impact on soil health, thereby safeguarding a critical natural resource.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101084,"journal":{"name":"Results in Earth Sciences","volume":"2 ","pages":"Article 100043"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142526105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accurate characterization of these features aids in water resource management and mitigating climate-induced challenges. The study employed GIS and remote sensing technologies, utilizing SRTM-30m DEM data to perform a comprehensive morphometric and hypsometric analysis. Key morphometric parameters such as basin size, stream order, bifurcation ratio, drainage density, circularity ratio, and elongation ratio were calculated by using Whitebox tool. Additionally, three-dimensional parameters including basin relief, roughness number, ruggedness index, and slope were analyzed. Hypsometric analysis was conducted to examine area-elevation relationships, using empirical formulas and contour data. The basin was found to be irregularly shaped, with an elongation ratio of 6.97 and a circulatory ratio of 0.3091, indicating an elongated form. Flow accumulation data highlighted areas of rapid and moderate water flow. Hypsometric analysis showed that 14 sub-basins were in an erosional stage, 8 were mature, and the remainder were older and more resistant to erosion. The overall hypsometric integral (HI) of 0.406 reflects moderate elevation variation across the basin. The study provides critical insights into the geomorphometric controls of the Swat Valley's drainage system, contributing to improved water resource management strategies.

The methodology included rigorous well log quality checks, data correlation between wells, petrophysical property evaluation, and lithofacies description. The analysis revealed thirty-five hydrocarbon-bearing zones, with GABO-20 showing average shale fraction values between 0.111 and 0.335, total porosity ranging from 0.242 to 0.329, and hydrocarbon saturation from 0.667 to 0.923, indicating substantial porosity and hydrocarbon saturation conducive to extraction. Well correlations demonstrated excellent sand-shale continuity within the reservoir intervals. Lithofacies analysis of the GABO-20 core identified eight distinct facies, including shale poles, liquid-rich shales, and sandstone poles, revealing a complex distribution of reservoir qualities with significant variations in potential. Cores 1 and 2 exhibited favourable conditions for hydrocarbon production, while Core 3 showed lower reservoir quality due to increased clay content. The depositional settings of the GABO field, particularly in the lower delta plain and delta front zones, showed well-developed reservoir bodies with moderate potential in the tidal zone and little potential in the shaly prodelta environment. This distribution highlights the complexity of the deltaic system and its implications for reservoir modeling and utilization. Reservoir zones associated with High-Quality Reservoir Facies exhibited strong petrophysical properties, suggesting excellent hydrocarbon production potential.

Both dolomitization and dissolution diagenetic processes have significantly enhanced the reservoir quality by altering the porosity and permeability of the Permian–Triassic Kangan and the Dalan Formations. The diagenetic processes of dissolution, fracturing, and localized dolomitization have enhanced the reservoir properties of the Fahliyan Formation's carbonate sequence. The Cretaceous Dariyan exhibits a gradual facies transition where dissolution enhances reservoir quality, while cementation and compaction diminish reservoir properties. For the mid-Cretaceous Sarvak Formation, the investigation addressed the diagenetic history triggering the creation of secondary porosity, related to meteoric processes and karstification. Finally, the Oligo-Miocene Asmari Formation is presented as a major hydrocarbon reservoir with extensive carbonate facies. Tectonic-driven fracturing and faulting increased reservoir quality by altering primary porosity and permeability and inducing significant diagenetic changes within a complex biodiverse reef ecosystem.

As stresses are propagated further from the loading into the craton, whether compressional, extensional, or shear, faults and fractures within the basement often act as pathways for stress transmission, traveling along these pre-existing planes of weakness, or creating new. The Appalachian Basin in the eastern United States is a classic foreland basin example that showcases far-field tectonic influence on deposition and structure. This study characterizes the structural architecture of the basement along the western Appalachian Basin margin by analyzing well log data from 2,662 wells to create structure, isopach, trend surface, and residual maps of Late Cambrian through Upper Ordovician strata (Knox through Black River). Fourteen lineaments interpreted as faults were delineated, creating two series of horsts and grabens. The northeast–southwest faults are related to structures that formed during Keweenawan extension, and the northwest–southeast faults are related to structures that formed during the Grenville Orogeny. Both sets of faults stem from the Precambrian basement and are shown to have been reactivated during the Blountian Tectophase of the Taconian Orogeny (Black Riverian deposition), creating localized thinning and thinning adjacent to the lineaments. Furthermore, these faults appear to have undergone additional reactivation since the deposition of these strata in a transtensional regime to create the observed horst and graben structures.
