X-ray diffraction, thermal analyses, dilatometry, scanning electron microscopy, and physical–mechanical tests such as stress to strength, Young modulus, shear modulus, and water absorption were used to evaluate the phase evolution and microstructure of the mixtures fired between 900 and 1150 °C for X1 and X2 and between 900 and 1100 °C for X3. The required performance of the ceramic product has been improved due to the formation of the vitreous and anorthite phases. The European Norm EN 14411 was used to classify ceramic products for each firing temperature and to determine their field of application.

Synchronous and asynchronous correlations were estimated, and Wavelet analysis was conducted to verify relationships among drought types.

A lag of zero months (1–2 months) was observed between meteorological and hydrological drought when moderate (severe) meteorological drought partially (fully) covers the basin. Agricultural drought, however, does not always correspond to meteorological drought during isolated rainfall events. As the first study in Colombia to systematically connect these drought types, this research addresses a gap in understanding how drought impacts progress across systems in regions with complex rainfall patterns. These findings offer critical insights into the interdependencies among drought types, supporting enhanced drought monitoring and early warning systems in similar climatic regions.

Biotic sequestration by urban vegetation and soil boosts terrestrial carbon storage and helps in maintaining the balance. However, unplanned urbanization in developing nations has caused an alarming loss of stored carbon. This study aims to quantify the spatio-temporal change in carbon storage for past, present, and future scenarios in Kolkata and its surroundings using the InVEST (Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Trade-offs) model. Four plausible future scenarios were simulated using a two-axis scenario analysis, based on two major drivers of urban sustainability: economic growth and restoration of UGS (urban green space). Each simulated scenario corresponds to the presumptive narrative of a 10% change in the LULC (land-use land-cover). The findings indicate a substantial loss of stored carbon (2.03 Tg) with a valuation of $ 410 million from 1992 to 2022. Notable reduction of carbon storage can be detected in the eastern and southern periphery, in a 10–15 km radius from the center of the city. This loss is mostly attributed to the emergence of key urban growth centers, characterized by large-scale infrastructural development. Compared to 2022, total carbon storage decreased by 10–15% in scenarios directed by economic development (least focus on UGS restoration), whereas it increased by 21% when UGS were restored. The methodology combines scenario analysis with carbon storage modelling, providing researchers and urban planners with valuable insights for proactive policy planning that support healthy urban livelihoods and ecosystems. It also helps in assessing the importance of urban vegetation and soil as natural carbon sinks.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":476,"journal":{"name":"Arabian Journal of Geosciences","volume":"18 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.827,"publicationDate":"2025-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143455649","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}

Clastic injection dikes are the geological evidence of the past earthquakes formed by seismic liquefaction of susceptible Karewa sediments. The study of clastic injection dikes proves vital paleoseismic tools for understanding prehistoric seismicity. Moderate to strong earthquakes often trigger soil liquefaction that can cause more destruction than the earthquake itself. This study will be helpful in answering: where was the possible seismic source? What were the magnitude, intensity, and PGA of the prehistoric earthquakes? What were the energy values of past earthquakes that were expended to generate observed clastic injection dikes? Empirical relationships were used to estimate paleoseismicity and site-specific seismic liquefaction hazard. The seismic parameters of past earthquakes were obtained using width, height, and regional pattern of observed clastic injection dikes. Paleomagnitudes obtained in this study were computed as a function of paleoepicentral distance,<span>({W}_{cd})</span> and <span>({h}_{cd})</span> values of the clastic injection dikes. <span>({M}_{S})</span> values were ranging from 5.0 to 7.7, and their equivalent <span>({M}_{W})</span> values were ranging from 5.4 to 7.7. The <span>({I}_{L})</span> values computed as a function of <span>({W}_{cd})</span> and <span>({h}_{cd})</span> values of clastic injection dikes were ranging from 6.06 to 13.97. PGA values computed as a function of <span>({I}_{L})</span> values were ranging from 0.07 to 3.75 g. Tremendous amount of <span>({E}_{o})</span> values in joules were expended to generate the observed clastic injection dikes corresponding to <span>({M}_{s})</span> and their equivalent <span>({M}_{w})</span> values. The incorporation of obtained <span>({E}_{o})</span> values in mass-energy equivalence relationship suggests that there is a small amount of Earth’s mass loss during an earthquake. The findings of this study suggest that Kashmir Valley is seismically active region and is giving credible answers to paleoseismic problems.

Simulations are performed for different void fractions of the assembly and for both boundary conditions. The initial void ratio and the boundary conditions are found to influence the liquefaction resistance of the assembly. The number of cycles for liquefaction increases with a greater constraint on the boundary.

One such basin, the mid-Zambezi Basin, contains Karoo-aged sediments that have been studied since the 1970s, and it has been observed that the Madumabisa Mudstone fluvial sequence within the lacustrine origin overlies the coal-bearing sequence, the Permian Gwembe Coal.

Although the major structures on this belt are similar to that on the Ashanti belt, mineralisation on this belt has not been high as that on the Ashanti belt. This study seeks to use GIS to integrate geological methods with remote sensing methods to delineate mineralised zones on the Asankragwa gold belt (AGB) to produce information on anomalies which will entice exploration companies to explore further on this belt and to provide guidelines for grassroot explorers in areas where there is limited geochemical and geophysical information.

This led to the creation of new Anisotropic Rock Physics Templates (ARPTs), represented as Ternary Diagrams based on Young’s moduli and Poisson’s ratios, considering factors such as mineralogy, porosity, pore fluid type, and pore geometry. An essential aspect of this research is the pore aspect ratio (<span>(alpha)</span>), a critical parameter influencing pore shape and significantly impacting rock characterization, pore fluid behavior, and mineralogy. We explored an isotropic scheme with a pore aspect ratio of <span>(alpha =1)</span> (spherical pores). We compared it against established methods, including the Perfectly Disordered Method (PDM), Self-Consistent Method (SCM), and classic models like the Hashin–Shtrikman schemes, using Berea sandstone as a reference sample. The resulting ARPTs were constructed as Ternary Diagrams based on calcite, quartz, and clay, utilizing pore aspect ratios of 0.1 and 0.5 (representing aligned spheroidal pores). These templates were applied to various anisotropic samples and formation data, including Bazhenov, Niobrara, Lockatong, Woodford, Chicopee, and a Shale sample from 5000 ft depth, where they demonstrated a strong fit.
