The paper focuses on this issue in a specific area in Italy: for this reason, at first it is illustrated a detailed analysis of the territory at the estuary of the Magra river, in the Liguria region, an area affected by this problem for a while. Then it is introduced a GIS river flood model developed with the software ArcGIS, with the support of a hydraulic model provided by the HEC-RAS software, which can be used in ArcGIS thanks to the HEC-GeoRAS component. This model is then compared to another one, provided by the University of Genova, and realized with the GRASS software, also with the support of a hydraulic model provided by the HECRAS package. The results show a good level of agreement. A further validation is also carried out with a comparison to the official expected flooding map provided by the Basin Authority and it shows to be quite satisfactory.","PeriodicalId":364345,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Geoinformatics and Geological Science","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115210453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The quality of statements is another thing. Doomsday statements of a rapidly rising sea are not anchored in observational facts. In this paper, a recent photography taken of the shore on Ouvéa Island in New Caledonia provides a unique insight to the entire problem. By naked eye anyone can see for him/her-self that sea is not in a rising mode, but stable or even falling 5 cm, or so. This notion fits perfectly well with other observations in the Pacific and Indian Ocean indicating no present rise in sea level.","PeriodicalId":364345,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Geoinformatics and Geological Science","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124220410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study was conducted based on the data from regional geological sections, base maps, and geochemical data. The volumetric calculations estimated that the Retained Gas In Shale (RGIS) of the Paleocene Ranikot Formation is 115.01 Trillion Cubic feet (Tcf), out of that 13.08 Trillion Cubic feet (Tcf) is risked RGIS while for the Lower Cretaceous Sembar Formation RGIS is 359.41 Trillion Cubic feet (Tcf), out of that 43.13 Trillion Cubic feet (Tcf) is risked RGIS. The results of this study concluded that the Sembar Formation has more shale gas potential in terms of Retained Gas In Shale (RGIS) in the Southern Indus Basin, than the Ranikot Formation. The approach employed in this study for RGIS calculation is pertinent to evaluate source rocks in other sedimentary basins.","PeriodicalId":364345,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Geoinformatics and Geological Science","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127882044","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
