This study introduces a novel application of frequency-dependent magnetic susceptibility (χ<sub>FD</sub>) of surface sediments as a high-resolution geophysical proxy for tracking ETM dynamics and microplastic (MP) convergence. Unlike prior works focusing on suspended sediments or static sampling, this research implements a spatiotemporally resolved approach by incorporating both spatial (Δχ<sub>FD</sub>) and temporal (Dχ<sub>FD</sub>) gradients. Field measurements were conducted at 11 spatial stations over five consecutive days, capturing two tidal phases per day in the Krueng Aceh River estuary, Indonesia. χ<sub>FD</sub> was analyzed alongside total suspended solids (TSS) and MP abundance, revealing a strong spatial correlation between Δχ<sub>FD</sub> and MP (<em>r</em> = 0.58), and a weaker correlation with ΔTSS (<em>r</em> = 0.27), emphasizing χ<sub>FD</sub>'s superior sensitivity in detecting microplastic retention. Magnetic characterization via hysteresis loops, supported by scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD), confirmed the dominance of pseudo-single domain magnetic particles in surface sediments. These findings demonstrate the potential of χ<sub>FD</sub> gradients as non-invasive, cost-effective indicators for identifying ETM zones and pollutant hotspots, laying the groundwork for advanced, real-time magnetic sensor technologies in estuarine and coastal monitoring.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54882,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Geophysics","volume":"242 ","pages":"Article 105896"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144756828","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}

Deep learning approaches, with their capabilities of feature extraction, mapping non-linear relationships, and handling high dimensional features, show great potential in seismic reservoir characterization. However, limited well logging data due to high drilling costs pose challenges for deep learning model training, particularly in frontier exploration and early development stage. Existing data augmentation methods often focus on increasing data quantity without effectively utilizing geological knowledge, potentially limiting their ability to capture the realistic complexity of data. To address this challenge, especially in sparse well regions, we propose a geostatistics-based pseudo-well construction methodology. By considering geologic stratification, the lithofacies are simulated using the Markov chain method, and the corresponding elastic features are simulated using sequential Gaussian simulation. This methodology enhances the reliability and accuracy of pseudo-well construction, with more geological consistency with the actual wells. Then, using the limited actual well data, we use transfer learning strategy to predict lithofacies from prestack data and seismic inversion via supervised convolutional neural network. We employ the proposed methodology in a coal-bearing clastic reservoir. Based on the blind well test, the strategy of combining pseudo-well data and transfer learning leads to a notable enhancement in the F1 score of sandstone from 57.45 % to 62.16 %, as well as an overall F1 score improvement from 52.92 % to 57.89 %.

Existing Biot-based rock physics models significantly underestimate observed S-wave attenuation values across seismic and sonic frequencies in the MHBS at the Nankai Trough, Japan. To address this discrepancy, we propose a novel rock physics model that incorporates dynamic contact line friction as a key attenuation mechanism. The model uses a representative element volume (REV) comprising an elliptical pore partially saturated by a droplet of methane hydrate. We simulate the deformation of the REV under cyclic shear stress and estimate the energy dissipation due to dynamic friction at the three-phase contact line. The numerical results indicate that the S-wave attenuation is highly sensitive to the pore aspect ratio and contact angle hysteresis. Under certain geometric and saturation conditions, contact line slip can occur even at low seismic stress levels, leading to frequency-independent attenuation. Our model successfully bridges the gap between theoretical predictions and field observations, offering a physically plausible mechanism for S-wave energy loss. The results suggest that incorporating contact line dynamics into rock physics models can enhance the interpretation of S-wave attenuation data and contribute to improved hydrate reservoir characterization.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54882,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Geophysics","volume":"242 ","pages":"Article 105889"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144756827","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}

Through mechanical model analysis of the overburden, we elucidated the stress-driving mechanism of individual rock beams in the mining direction (transverse), thereby establishing a longitudinal “four-zone” structural model of overburden fracture (Collapsed water-conducting zone, Rock-beam water-conducting zone, Damaged rock-beam weak-permeability zone, and Initial water-resisting zone), identifying the upper boundary of water-conducting fracture zone as the damaged rock-beam weak-permeability zone.
