The purpose of this work is to analyze geodynamic processes of origination, geological development, and Post-Carboniferous alteration of Carboniferous deposits of the Lviv-Volyn Basin. The methodology is based on historical-geological and facies studies. It includes a comparison of the capacities and distribution of deposits of different ages in the region as well as a dynamic analysis of the formation of coal deposits in the basin. The conducted investigations showed that the territory of the Lviv-Volyn Basin had a special history of geostructural Pre- Carboniferous development that sufficiently influenced its formation and caused geotectonic and morpho-structural alterations. The formation of this region resulted from complex and prolonged, during several tectonic stages, processes of interaction between the zones of tectonic activity and regional fractures connected with it. Activation of these zones happened to be at definite periods of geological time and was manifested in the development of concrete geostructural elements. Tectonic events of all periods of sedimentary cover formation were individual and unique. They became the basis for the formation and changes in the overall structure of the southwestern edge of the East European Platform and, in particular, the Lviv-Volyn Basin, as part of the Lviv-Lublin Trough. With other geostructural relations, the tectonic structure of the basin would be significantly different. In the Paleozoic era, the structural elements of the north-western and south-eastern extension played a decisive role in the formation of this territory. Originality. Based on the analysis of the thickness of the region's deposits of different ages it was shown that forces of horizontal compression affected the coal-bearing unit during the geological formation of the basin.

The conventional approach to constructing a three-dimensional distribution of the Earth's masses involves using Stokes constants incrementally up to a certain order. However, this study proposes an algorithm that simultaneously considers all of these constants, which could potentially provide a more efficient method. The basis for this is a system of equations obtained by differentiating the Lagrange function, which takes into account the minimum deviation of the three-dimensional mass distribution of the planet's subsoil from one-dimensional referential one. An additional condition, apart from taking into account the Stokes constants, for an unambiguous solution to the problem is to specify the value of the function on the surface of the ellipsoidal planet. It is possible to simplify the calculation process by connecting the indices of summation values in a series of expansions to their one-dimensional analogues in the system of linear equations. The study presents a control example illustrating the application of the given algorithm. In its implementation, a simplified variant of setting the density on the surface of the ocean is taken. The preliminary results of calculations confirm the expediency of this approach and the need to expand such a technique with other conditions for unambiguously solving the inverse problem of potential theory. Objectives. To create and implement the algorithm that takes into account the density of the planet’s subsoil on its surface. Method. The mass distribution function of the planet's subsoil is represented by a decomposition into biorthogonal series, the coefficients of decomposition which are determined from a system of linear equations. The system of equations is obtained from the condition of minimizing the deviation function of the desired mass distribution from the initially determined two-dimensional density distribution (PREM reference model). Results. On the basis of the described algorithm, a three-dimensional model of the density distribution of subsoil masses in the middle of the Earth is obtained, which takes into account Stokes constants up to the eighth order inclusively and corresponds to the surface distribution of masses of the oceanic model of the Earth. Its concise interpretation is also presented.

The study considers the impact of seismic waves from the source of a potential earthquake in Latvia on the site of the Plavinu hydroelectric power station, which is located in unfavorable geological, tectonic, and geodynamic conditions. A direct seismology problem was solved in two stages to assess seismic impacts on the site. In the first stage, the modeling of synthetic seismograms was carried out, and in the second stage, a prediction of seismic impacts at the hydroelectric power station site was conducted. In the first stage, we used wave field modeling applying Green's method. In the second stage, ground motion characteristics were obtained using a one-dimensional, nonlinear ground response analysis method. A wave field of 15 Green's functions was obtained, which was then converted into a 3-component accelerogram. The accelerogram was then used as a seismic impulse to a Prequaternary sediment's surface. A set of engineering and seismic characteristics of soil was obtained, i.e. amplification, Fourier amplitudes, and spectral amplitudes. The paper demonstrates the ability to acquire valuable information about the seismic wave field and ground motion from macroseismic data from historical earthquakes. This is especially important for intra-plate conditions with limited seismic statistics. Prediction of engineering and seismic conditions are of great practical importance since they will allow us to identify the most vulnerable sites of the soil at the Plavinu HPP.

Purpose of this work is to refine and complete the energy balance of the Earth's tectonosphere by thermal modeling. The methodology includes a detailed comprehensive analysis of heat generation in the crust and upper mantle throughout the studied geological history of the Earth for 4.2 billion years. Results. Experimental data on radiogenic heat generation in the Earth's crust and upper mantle are summarized. The need for a separate consideration of the heat balance for regions with different endogenous regimes on platforms, in geosynclines and oceans has been established. The average values of heat generation in the crust are about 0.4–0.5 µW/m3. In the upper mantle they are 0.04, 0.06, and 0.08 µW/m3, respectively. When taking into account the thicknesses of the solid crust (about 40 km under the platforms and geosynclines and about 6 km under the oceans) and the upper mantle (430-460 km), almost the same number of sources is found under all regions. They are distributed differently. This leads to different variants of geological history. It can be assumed that there are radiogenic heat sources with an intensity of about 0.02 μW/m3 in the transition zone to the lower mantle and in the lower mantle up to about 1100 km. At greater depths in the shell (the total mass of the Earth outside the core) and core, there are no sources. The energy balance of the tectonosphere is calculated for the platforms. Over 3.6 billion years (the period over which it is possible to describe the geological history quite accurately), about 73.5·1014 J/m2 has been carried out by the heat flow. The conductive heat flow during this time carried out 59.5·1014J/m2. The difference corresponds exactly to the needs of all active processes of this period. Originality. The experimental dates of the events also coincide with those calculated by the theory (some of which are for the first time). Practical significance. For the Phanerozoic geosynclines, such control has also been partially performed. The independently determined evolution of the mass flow (which is also of practical importance) in the geological history also agrees with the calculated values.

This work aims to develop a method for determining the increase in stresses above an advancing longwall face of Western Donbas mines. The paper presents a solution to the problem. It is based on the analysis of geodetic instrumental observations of the earth's surface lowering and rock mass deformation above the advancing longwall face. Length and propagation in the roof and floor of the extracted seam are the main geometrical parameters of the zone of high rock pressure. Currently, the quantitative parameters of this zone are not considered. And its length under the conditions of Western Donbas is determined with an accuracy of 50%. Thus, research in this direction is relevant. The experimental basis for the research includes the results of observations performed at two vertical borehole extensometers and the results of data processing obtained at more than 30 observation stations on the Earth's surface. Thus, the research specified the geometrical parameters of the zone of high rock pressure and the nature of the vertical stress distribution within this zone. The paper introduces a method to determine a coefficient of stress increase above the advancing longwall face of Western Donbas mines. We also established the empirical coefficients of the vertical stress distribution function within the abutment pressure zone. There is a relationship between the lowering of the earth's surface and the values of the stress increase in the borehole edge part. The reliability of the obtained results is confirmed by geophysical studies in Western Donbas, as well as by the results of field observations.

The theory of continental drift was published as early as 1912, but the mechanism and energy source of this motion has not yet been elucidated. In many cases, the generally accepted model of convection currents in the mantle contradicts observations such as the spreading of the ocean floor, the extension of rifts from triple points to all sides, the more or less unilateral movement of the lithosphere relative to the mantle, and others. In the first part of the double article, the evolution of views on this issue is shown, as well as measured data that document the important role of extraterrestrial energy sources for the movement of lithospheric plates in daily, annual and long-term climate cycles. In the second part of the two-part article, the entire theory of the mechanism of lithospheric plate motion will be outlined, based on the accumulation of incoming energy from the Sun in crustal rocks, the ratcheting mechanism, and the thermoelastic wave penetrating from the Earth's surface through the entire crust.

Adaptive filtering was proposed to reduce the effect of correlated noise in records with very low signal-to-noise ratio and to improve the reliability of differential arrivals. The maximum correlation criterion was modified to include the minimum departure from the calculated arrival times. Analysis of the intervals between phase arrivals at pairs of stations was proposed to further reduce the number of problematic arrivals. The sensitivity of the final solution to the network configuration was assessed using the jack-knife principle, when the coordinates are calculated, each time removing one station from the full set. The focal mechanism common to all earthquakes in the series was defined using the polarities of P-wave arrivals at 16 stations. Based on the results of the 3D interpretation of the differential hypocenters, the nodal plane with a strike of 150° was identified as the rupture plane, and the mechanism itself was classified as left-lateral slip with a component of thrust. The epicenter of the strongest earthquake was located almost exactly on the fault of the pre-Neogene basement with a strike parallel to the Carpathian arc, almost the same as the strike of the rupture plane. The axis of compression in the focal mechanism is directed to the east, which is fully consistent with the northeast direction of the general regional field.","PeriodicalId":46263,"journal":{"name":"Geodynamics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48408478","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 aims to build a three-dimensional thermal model of the crust and upper mantle of the territory of Ukraine. Its basis is a scheme of deep processes in the tectonosphere, which, first of all, considers the results of heat and mass transfer during modern activation. They are superimposed on the models of the platform (except for the territory of the East European platform; the Donbass is also included in it), the Alpine geosyncline of the Carpathians, and the Hercynian-Cimmerian geosyncline of the Scythian plate. The incomplete process of modern activation cannot be accurately described by the geological theory used by the authors. Gravity modeling was previously conducted on a system of profiles around the northern hemisphere with a total length of more than 30,000 km, crossing Eurasia, North America, as well as the Atlantic and Pacific oceans to select an adequate scheme of heat and mass transfer. The paper distinguishes the most realistic scheme of the process . It is applied for Ukraine, and the more accurately the activated area is determined. Such a task was solved for the first time. In the south, the model is limited by the Black Sea depression, at a depth of 400 km. Temperatures in the transition zone to the lower mantle were not considered. Test thermal models are compared with geothermometers. The error (50°C) of calculation and cross-section of isotherms is determined (150°C for depths from 50 to 400 km, at a depth of 25 km the error is lower, the cross-section of isotherms is 100°C). Zones of partial melting of the rocks of the crust and upper mantle have been established. They are distributed in the middle part of the crust, in the upper horizons of the mantle (50-100 km). At a depth of about 400 km, partial melting occurs only under the non-activated part of the platform. Differences in the model from the presented one are described. They are associated with possible variations in the age of the process and its peculiarities at different levels of heat and mass transfer. Practical significance. The study emphasizes that mineral deposits are characteristic to thermal anomalies and other environmental parameters.

The aim of this research is the comparison and subsequent evaluation of the suitability of using SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) and multispectral (MSI) satellite data of the Copernicus program for mapping and accurate identification of surface water bodies. The paper considers sudden changes caused by significant climatological-meteorological influences in the country. The surface guidance extraction methodology includes the standard preprocessing of SAR images and concluding the determination of threshold values in binary mask generation. For MSI images, water masks are generated through automatic algorithmic processing on the Google Earth Engine cloud platform. During SAR image processing, it has been found that the VV polarization configuration type (vertical-vertical) is the most suitable. The Lee and Lee Sigma filters are recommended for eliminating radar noise. The chosen window size for filtering depends on the specific object and its spatial extent. The extraction of water surfaces from the MSI image is conducted using the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI), Modified Normalized Difference Water Index (MNDWI), a pair of Automated Water Extraction Index (AWEI) indices, and Water Ratio Index (WRI). Results are evaluated both graphically and numerically, using quantitative accuracy indicators to refine them. Automatic extraction of water surfaces from MSI images in the GEE platform environment is a fast, efficient, and relatively accurate tool for determining the true extent of groundwater. In conclusion, this research can provide more reliable estimates of hydrological changes and interannual variations in water bodies in the country. When combined with multitemporal monitoring, these results can be an effective tool for permanent monitoring of floods and droughts.The aim of this research is the comparison and subsequent evaluation of the suitability of using SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) and multispectral (MSI) satellite data of the Copernicus program for mapping and accurate identification of surface water bodies.

The main purpose of the study is to identify the relationship between changes in water level and soil deformation, where the cyclic change in loads on the reservoir bed is the stress deviator, i.e., the PSPP reservoir acts as an oscillator of transverse vibrations, and the soil extensometer performs the function of reading and recording these vibrations. Methodology. Solution of the problem requires recording the time series of water level fluctuations and extensometer sensor fluctuations on all depth horizons. It is also necessary to perform a fast Fourier transform for water level fluctuations separately and similarly to each extensometer sensor fluctuation. We need to separately calculate the signal power spectrum of all sensors in the soil, and compare the amplitude-frequency, phase-frequency components of the power spectra of water level oscillations and vertical oscillations of the extensometer sensors. Results. During the studies, it was found that the PSPP reservoir is a source of low-frequency vibrations in a wide spectral range. These vibrations have a very long wavelength, measured in tens of thousands of kilometers, which can propagate over long distances, both along the front of geological layers and in depth. Scientific innovation. The research in this article allows us to more accurately assess the frequency spectrum of vibrations and identify possible resonance phenomena that may occur in soils during the operation of a power facility. In addition, this study was conducted in a specific region, which makes it possible to obtain more accurate data on the impact of low-frequency vibrations on the geosystem in this region. Thus, this paper may be of interest to specialists in the field of geotechnics, geology, and energy. It can also be used in the planning and operation of other power facilities in similar conditions. Practical significance. Low-frequency waves can be detected by seismic instruments such as seismometers. The results of this study will help to correct the analysis and interpretation of seismograms, which is important for understanding the processes occurring in the hydroelectric power plant operation area.
