Security risks may arise. To further understand the caving and evolution law of overlying strata during repeated mining in extremely close distance coal seam down mining, 9# coal and 10# coal in the Nanyaotou Coal Industry were used as the engineering background. The caving characteristics and fracture evolution law of overlying strata during single and repeated mining were analyzed through similar material simulation tests. Based on fractal geometry theory, the relationship between the advancing distance of the working face and the fractal dimension of the overlying strata fracture is established to reflect the changing trend of fracture development. The calculation formula is derived from the tensile rate of rock strata to predict the development height of water-conducting fractures. The results show that the overlying strata failure structure is mainly a “hinged structure” and a “step structure,” which respectively promotes and inhibits the development of overlying strata fractures. Repeated mining causes mining-induced fractures in the lower coal seam to pass through the goaf of the upper coal seam and develop more vigorously in the upper coal seam, and the fractal dimension can effectively reflect the development of overlying strata fractures. The height of the water-conducting fracture zone increases in four stages: incubation, gradual increase, further gradual increase, and stability, eventually stopping development under the influence of the key layer (thick mudstone) bearing the load above. The development height of water-conducting fractures predicted by on-site water injection measurement is similar to that predicted by simulation experiments and theoretical calculations, verifying the feasibility of predicting the development height of water-conducting fractures through simulation tests and theoretical analysis. This study provides a reference for coal seam mining under similar conditions.","PeriodicalId":12359,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Earth Science","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142258248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although few reports investigate multiple geochemical parameters that respond to earthquakes, trace elements received less attention, whereas they were suggested to be more sensitive to small earthquakes than the commonly used geochemical parameters. Beijing is located in the Zhangjiakou-Bohai (Zhang-Bo) seismic belt of North China, and although the occurrence of small earthquakes is frequent, the great historic earthquake in the Sanhe-Pinggu area M8 in 1679 in the adjoining southeast of Beijing gained widespread public attention. To find effective precursors that are significant for operational earthquake forecasting of the Beijing area, we carried out a one year test research project through weekly collection of groundwater samples during June 2021 to June 2022 from the seismic monitoring well of Wuliying in northwest Beijing. The 41 trace elements chemical compositions were analyzed for each sample. During the project ongoing period, the biggest earthquake with a magnitude of ML3.3 occurred in the Chaoyang District of Beijing on 3 February 2022. The content changes in these trace elements were systematically monitored before and after the earthquake. Through retrospective research, it was found that a few sensitive trace elements were anomalous to be coupled to the earthquake, including Li, Sc, Rb, Mo, Cs, Ba, W, U, Sr, Mn, Ni, and Zn. In addition to trace elements, we examined stable isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen and the existing hydrological data on groundwater level, temperature, major ions, and gases to assess the validity of geochemistry as a monitoring and predictive tool. We only found that F- (fluorine) ions and He (helium) gas had apparent shifts related to the earthquakes, while no shifts in the groundwater level were observed. Such characteristics of multiple geochemical parameters indicate that trace elements are likely to be more sensitive to crustal strain than the groundwater level and major ions. We assumed a most likely mechanism of the combination of mixing and water–rock interactions to explain the phenomenon. The probable scenario was that minor stresses caused by the earthquakes might create micro-cracks in bedrocks, thereby leading to a small volume of chemically distinct water mixing with the original water of the aquifer, and finally, the earthquake-induced rock fractures enhance the water–rock interactions, resulting in the post-seismic recovery of trace elements and δ<jats:sup>18</jats:sup>O value migration to the GWML. More testing works to find other sensitive sites to investigate multiple geochemical characteristics aiming at long-term to short-term earthquake prediction in the Beijing area and Zhang-Bo seismic belt are in progress.","PeriodicalId":12359,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Earth Science","volume":"2016 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142179465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Summerizing and analyzing the existing toppling cases and toppling zoning researches, this study selects rock layer toppled angle, maximum tension within layer, unit tension within layer, and longitudinal wave velocity as indicators for toppling zoning. Considering the differences in the characteristics of deep toppling (DT) and shallow toppling (ST), the quantitative criteria for the deep and shallow toppling zoning indicators are determined respectively. This study employs the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method to establish toppling zoning evaluation models. The deep toppling dam site slope at Miaowei hydropower station and the shallow toppling bank slope of Xingguang Ⅲ formation at Xiluodu Hydropower Station were tested, respectively. These results are compared with toppling zoning of field surveys to verify the rationality and applicability of the models.

Its genesis and tectonic location may help revealing the geological processes asscoaited with the evolution of the Xing’an - Mongolia Orogenic Belt. This study focuses on the development of the Permian granitic complex in Jielin Ranch, and we conduct systematic geological, petrographic, zircon U-Pb chronology, Hf isotope, and geochemical tracing of rock elements for evidence. The results show that the granitic complex is mainly composed of monzogranite and syenogranite, which obtained zircon U-Pb ages of 291.1 ± 1.1 Ma and 260.8 ± 1.1 Ma, respectively. The monzogranite and syenogranite are all acidic and aluminum rich rocks, and the monzogranite is a potassium rich, high potassium calcium alkaline rock series with relatively low REE content, high degree of fractionation, and insignificant europium anomalies, enriched with LILE (Rb, Th, U, K), deficient elements such as Ba, Sr, Nb, Ti, and P, εHf(t) values are from +4.1 to +7.0 (T<jats:sub>DM2</jats:sub>=1130–920 Ma). Geochemistry shows that the monzogranite belongs to high fractionation of I-type granite, which formed in a subduction-compressional or extension tectonic environment, and Middle Neoproterozoic lower crust rocks as the major source material of magma. The syenogranite is a potassium high potassium transitional rock series with a high rare earth content (214 × 10<jats:sup>−6</jats:sup>∼325 × 10<jats:sup>−6</jats:sup>), low LREE/HREE (2.54–6.41), δEu (0.04–0.15) and the typical “four component effect” fractionation mode is enriched in large ion lithophilic elements such as Rb, Th, K, and strongly depleted in elements such as Ba, Sr, Nb, Ta, Ti, P, εHf(t) values are from +4.2 to +8.6 (T<jats:sub>DM2</jats:sub>=738–1228 Ma), suggesting the characteristics of an “A<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> type” granite. The magma originated from partial melting of the lower crust of the Middle and Neoproterozoic with the participation of mantle derived melts, and was formed in a back-arc extensional environment. This suggests that the study area experienced a subduction-compressional or extension tectonic environment during the early Permian and a brief backarc extension process in the late Permian.","PeriodicalId":12359,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Earth Science","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142179466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The detrital zircon age distributions in the northern Okinawa Trough (N-OT) predominantly fall into 1,000−2,300 Ma and 100−600 Ma age groups. In contrast, in the middle Okinawa Trough (M-OT) and southern Okinawa Trough (S-OT), the detrital zircon age groups of 100−600 Ma and 600–1,000 Ma increase significantly, while the age groups of 1,000−2,300 Ma and &amp;gt;2,300 Ma decrease. Detrital zircons from the N-OT primarily originate from the Yellow River and mixed with the Old Yellow River, while those from the M-OT come mainly from the Yellow River, Yangtze Rivers, and East China Sea. And Zhuoshui River maybe a potential source for the M-OT. The detrital zircons from the S-OT are mainly influenced by the Yangtze River, with some effects from the Lanyang River. This study utilizes detrital zircon U-Pb age analysis to gain a better understanding of the terrestrial material sources in various regions of the OT. Most of the zircon grain are coarse, with grain sizes of 40–150 μm long and 30–100 μm wide in the N-OT, smaller in the M-OT and S-OT in this study, which are probably not modern deposits, but the products in the low sea level period of last glaciation mixed with modern sediments.

The results reveal that small shelly fossils can be detected in the high-phosphorous section, with the concentration of phosphorus mainly ranging from 2% to 8%, suggesting that this interval belongs to the Early Cambrian, which is also consistent with the carbon isotopic composition results. In addition, the Early Cambrian is denudated in the Sichuan Basin due to tectonic movement, and the characteristics of some isotopes and small shell fossils are different from those in other basins. It can be proposed that P content can support the recognition of lithological boundaries, and the high phosphorus content can be used as a reference to identify the top and bottom boundaries of the Maidiping Formation in the study area. According to the elemental compositions in the Ediacaran Dengying Formation, the variations in Si, Al, Fe, and K contents are similar in the platform area and rift area, suggesting that the third and fourth member of the Dengying Formation are also developed in the Deyang–Anyue Rift. The results suggest that both the Deng-4 member and Maidiping Formation feature contemporaneous deposition of different facies in the northwestern Sichuan Basin. The strata consist of shale intercalated with thin carbonate rock deposits in the Deyang–Anyue Rift, while carbonate rock deposits in the platform. The Deyang–Anyue Rift expanded gradually in the Late Ediacaran and eventually filled in the Early Cambrian. The data in this study illustrate that elemental compositions, isotopes, and small shelly fossils can be combined to correlate the Late Ediacaran to Early Cambrian strata and provide new evidence for Deyang–Anyue Rift evolution. The results offer some new insights for deep oil and gas exploration in the Sichuan Basin and for the tectonic–depositional–environmental–biological synergistic evolution in the Late Ediacaran to Early Cambrian transition.","PeriodicalId":12359,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Earth Science","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142179696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gramer, John Steffen, Maria Aristizabal Vargas, Hyun-Sook Kim","doi":"10.3389/feart.2024.1418016","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3389/feart.2024.1418016","url":null,"abstract":"Coupling a three-dimensional ocean circulation model to an atmospheric model can significantly improve forecasting of tropical cyclones (TCs). This is particularly true of forecasts for TC intensity (maximum sustained surface wind and minimum central pressure), but also for structure (e.g., surface wind-field sizes). This study seeks to explore the physical mechanisms by which a dynamic ocean influences TC evolution, using an operational TC model. The authors evaluated impacts of ocean-coupling on TC intensity and structure forecasts from NOAA’s Hurricane Analysis and Forecast System v1.0 B (HFSB), which became operational at the NOAA National Weather Service in 2023. The study compared existing HFSB coupled simulations with simulations using an identical model configuration in which the dynamic ocean coupling was replaced by a simple diurnally varying sea surface temperature model. The authors analyzed TCs of interest from the 2020–2022 Atlantic hurricane seasons, selecting forecast cycles with small coupled track-forecast errors for detailed analysis. The results show the link between the dynamic, coupled ocean response to TCs and coincident TC structural changes directly related to changing intensity and surface wind-field size. These results show the importance of coupling in forecasting slower-moving TCs and those with larger surface wind fields. However, there are unexpected instances where coupling impacts the near-TC atmospheric environment (e.g., mid-level moisture intrusion), ultimately affecting intensity forecasts. These results suggest that, even for more rapidly moving and smaller TCs, the influence of the ocean response to the wind field in the near-TC atmospheric environment is important for TC forecasting. The authors also examined cases where coupling degrades forecast performance. Statistical comparisons of coupled versus uncoupled HFSB further show an interesting tendency: high biases in peak surface winds for the uncoupled forecasts contrast with corresponding low biases, contrary to expectations, in coupled forecasts; the coupled forecasts also show a significant negative bias in the radii of 34 kt winds relative to National Hurricane Center best track estimates. By contrast, coupled forecasts show very small bias in minimum central pressure compared with a strong negative bias in uncoupled. Possible explanations for these discrepancies are discussed. The ultimate goal of this work will be to enable better evaluation and forecast improvement of TC models in future work.","PeriodicalId":12359,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Earth Science","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142223681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While it demonstrates promising development potential, challenges arise in the urgent need for integration of geology and engineering models, as well as in optimizing sweet spots, particularly as infill wells and pads become central operational objectives for the shale gas field. A lack of the geomechanical understanding of shale gas reservoirs presents a significant obstacle in addressing these challenges. To overcome this, we implemented data acquisition and prepared historical models and profiles, resulting in an extended high-resolution geological and reservoir property model with a fine grid system. Subsequently, a 3D full-field multi-scale geomechanical model was constructed for the main district by integrating seismic data (100 m), geological structures (km), routine logs (m), core data (cm), and borehole imaging (0.25 m), following a well-designed workflow. The predicted fracturability index (brittleness) ranges from 0.6 to 0.78, and a lower horizontal stress difference (STDIFF) is anticipated in the target formation, Upper Duvernay_D, making it a favorable candidate for hydraulic fracturing treatment. Post-analysis of the multi-disciplinary models and various data types provides guidelines for establishing a specific big database, which serves as the foundation for production performance analysis and aggregate sweet spot analysis. Fourteen geological and geomechanical candidate parameters are selected for the subsequent sweet spot analysis. This study highlights the effectiveness of multi-scale geomechanical modeling as a tool for the integration of multi-disciplinary data sources, providing a bridge between geological understanding and future field development decisions. The workflows also offer a data-driven framework for selecting parameters for sweet spot analysis and production dynamic analysis.","PeriodicalId":12359,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Earth Science","volume":"58 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142179492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Particle Flow Code in 3 Dimensions (PFC<jats:sup>3D</jats:sup>) and Python were used to realize fluid-solid coupling, and numerical simulation calculations were performed along the test path to analyze the influence of the unloading rate on the fine-scale deformation mechanism and permeability characteristics of sandstone, and the relationship between crack type and permeability was obtained. A sandstone fracture mechanics model is established to analyze the stress concentration degree at the end of the branch crack of the test path. The results show that the rate of confining pressure unloading is inversely proportional to the strain. Additionally, permeability correlates with the principal stress difference in an exponential manner. Interestingly, the sensitivity of permeability to stress shows an inverse trend with the unloading rate of confining pressure. Furthermore, there exists a linear relationship between permeability and the number of cracks. During the unloading process, tensile cracks predominate, and the propagation of shear cracks lags behind that of tensile cracks. The proportion of tensile cracks decreases with the increase of the unloading rate when the axial pressure is unchanged but increases when axial pressure is added, resulting in axial compression deformation and expansion deformation along the unloading direction.
