Investigating the migration and diffusion of LNAPLs within this zone is beneficial for subsequent remediation processes. In this study, the release process of LNAPLs in the capillary fringe was simulated in outdoor experimental pits. By combining cross-hole electrical resistivity tomography (CHERT), ground-penetrating radar (GPR) technology, and chemical analysis of samples, the study comprehensively explored the migration process of LNAPLs in both the capillary fringe and the aquifer, as well as the detection efficacy. The results indicate that, under certain liquid phase pressures, LNAPLs persistently release into the capillary zone. Their downward migration is influenced by buoyancy from the aquifer and capillary zone water, hindering the downward migration of some LNAPLs, which instead migrate horizontally, displacing water to form circular high-saturation LNAPL source zones resembling concave lenses. After the cessation of LNAPL release, the source zones evolve under the combined effects of LNAPL liquid phase pressure and diffusion, with plumes continuously spreading. CHERT reflects the diffusion process of LNAPLs in the capillary fringe and aquifer; however, the calculation of saturation values presents a certain degree of error due to the uncertainty of the oil-water state. GPR can delineate the distribution boundaries of high-saturation source zones but has limited accuracy in monitoring the diffusion of plumes with lower oil saturation. This study provides important references for the application of CHERT and GPR in detecting the distribution of LNAPLs in the capillary fringe and aquifer.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":542,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Earth Sciences","volume":"84 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142798489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Peshawar Basin covers Peshawar, the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and other populated areas of the Swabi, Mardan, Nowshera, and Charsadda districts. This research article focuses on active faulting and seismic activity in the Peshawar Basin. Fault causes a sudden release of energy in the form of an earthquake when stress exceeds the Strength of a rock. More than 12,000 earthquakes have been reported in the Peshawar Basin, ranging from 1 to 5.7 on the Richter scale. The shallow nature of these earthquakes is a clear indication of ongoing tectonic activity in the region, resulting in active faults in the Peshawar Basin. Intense Field observations and detailed Digital Elevation Model (DEM) analysis analysis confirm active faults in the Peshawar Basin. Field observations of Peshawar Basin cover the study of infrastructures along the active faults where only 10% of the rocks are exposed. Fracture data was collected from infrastructure and this data was carefully analyzed as well. Based on this analysis six active faults are marked. Charsada-Takhbhai Fault, Mardan Fault, Pir Piai Fault, and Swabi Fault are marked as normal, whereas Pir Sabak and Ghorghushti Fault are thrust faults in nature. Normal faults and tilting were also observed in the alluvial deposits, on a small scale, but it is a manifestation of the same phenomenon on a larger scale in the Peshawar Basin. In the Southern part of the Peshawar Basin, active faults were identified and recognized in the near past. This research is significant because it covers the whole Peshawar Basin and this study was never done before. This research shows that these active faults particularly the Swabi fault may be of high risk to the world’s largest earth-filled Tarbela dam and surrounding areas. Subsidence of more than 2 cm per year is observed in the area along the Swabi and Ghoghasti faults.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":542,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Earth Sciences","volume":"84 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142798318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, soil column experiments with different textures (fine sand, sandy soil and silt loam) saturated with salt solution (sodium chloride) were employed to investigate the influence of salt crust on evaporation resistance, and a mathematical equation was proposed to quantify the evaporation resistance. The results show that salt commonly precipitated as efflorescence on different soil surfaces and inhibited evaporation, but that it exhibited significant differences. Salt crusts inhibited evaporation in saline soils with varied particle sizes by 18%, 24%, and 60%, while the corresponding pore sizes of salt crusts were 19.05 μm, 5.55 μm, and 0.94 μm, respectively. The salt crust on the soil surface with smaller particle size exhibited smaller pore size and poor pore connectivity, which resulted in greater configurational resistance to vapor flow through salt crust and increased evaporation resistance. The equation based on salt crust pore characteristics can effectively explain the differential mechanism of salt precipitation resistance to evaporation (R<sup>2</sup> &gt; 0.96).

Environmental performance remains a crucial design criterion for HDT structures; however, there is a notable lack of comprehensive data on key performance properties and design parameters for uncemented HDT (UCHDT) and lightly cemented HDT (LCHDT). Many of these characteristics, including leachability and susceptibility to acid mine drainage, significantly influence environmental impact and are closely linked to hydraulic conductivity. In response, this study presents novel experimental insights into the saturated hydraulic conductivity of HDTs, specifically focusing on UCHDT and LCHDT with a Portland Cement content (PCI) ≤ 2%, under various curing conditions and HDT compositions. The findings underscore a time-dependent nature of hydraulic conductivity in HDT (UCHDT, LCHDT), with a discernible decrease observed as curing time progresses. Moreover, the composition of the mix exerts a notable impact on permeability. A reduction in permeability is discernible with higher solid content and binder content, with this decrease being particularly pronounced in the initial stages (≤ 7 days). Additionally, the initial sulfate content present in the pore water of the tailings significantly influences the permeability of LCHDT. Furthermore, under drained curing conditions, a significant decrease in hydraulic conductivity is observed, particularly accentuated in LCHDTs. Moreover, experimental results indicate that the permeability of specimens subjected to rewetting after the first day of curing remains largely unaffected, while for samples rewetted after being cured for 7 days, hydraulic conductivity exhibits a significant increase. Lastly, consolidation is shown to lead to a decrease in hydraulic conductivity, especially notable at early ages (≤ 7 days), as highlighted by the results of this study.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":542,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Earth Sciences","volume":"84 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142798320","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The KLMI represents a good example of post-collisional layered mafic intrusion that intrudes subduction-related island arc assemblages, ophiolitic rocks and syn-tectonic granitoids. It consists of lower units of olivine gabbro and gabbronorite that overlies by hornblende gabbro, anorthosite and diorite. This research uses Visible Near Infrared (VNIR) and Short-wave infrared (SWIR) of the ASTER image. To map the KLMI red, green blue (RGB) combination, decorrelation stretch (DCS), band ratios (BR), principal component analysis (PCA), minimum noise fraction (MNF), and spectral angle mapper (SAM) technique were used in integration with geochemical data. The FCC (False Color Composite) and DCS results show the hydrothermally altered zones; the BR differentiated the KLMI in dark red color from all other rocks. The PCA 135 and MNF 135 differentiated among the igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic lithologies. The SAM results classify the KLMI and Nabat complex into the best correlation with the published map and geochemical results. The geochemical findings reveals well-defined geological profile of Neoproterozoic rocks, including schists, gneisses, ophiolites, and various intrusive formations. The post-collisional nature of the KLMI is characterized by its unmetamorphosed and undeformed state. The analyzed gabbro samples of the KLMI have metaluminous and calc-alkaline characters.
