This work introduces a surrogate modeling approach for an emplacement drift of a deep geological repository based on Gaussian Processes (GPs). The surrogate model is used as a substitute for the high-fidelity mechanical model in many-query scenarios, such as time-dependent sensitivity analysis and calibration. Our GP-based approach emulates the behavior of an emplacement drift of a deep geological repository with significantly reduced computational time, enabling faster design iterations and effective incorporation as well as interpretation of monitoring data. Our findings show that only a few key parameters are essential for accurately reflecting in-situ conditions in complex rock salt models, which is critical for ensuring safety in deep geological disposal.

In the present study, we performed a 53-year wave hindcast (1970-2022) for a significant portion of the South China Sea (SCS) with an unstructured mesh that reaches considerably high resolution along the coasts of the Guangdong province (China). The adopted modeling approach is based on the fully two-way coupled SCHISM-WWMIII numerical suite. The model was forced with ERA5 wind velocities that were compared to IFREMER altimeter wind velocities and then bias-corrected for a more accurate treatment of the wind component. Eight major tidal harmonics extracted from FES2014 were imposed to the open boundaries. After a preliminary mesh independence analysis, the model results have been validated against satellite altimeter observations retrieved from the European Space Agency database spanning the period from 1992 to 2019. Moreover, 28 year in-situ measurements from two coastal wave buoys and data from four tidal gauge stations (approximately 20 years) were used to test the nearshore skills of the model. Several statistical indicators have been used to evaluate the offshore and nearshore performance of the model results in terms of the main wave parameters (significant wave height, peak wave period, mean wave direction) and water levels. All statistical metrics suggest that the present hindcast improved the predictions of waves and water levels compared to previous datasets, especially in the coastal regions. The high spatial resolution together with a full coupling allowed the model to capture and simulate processes that are induced by the non-linear interactions between waves and currents, especially nearshore.

Marine seismic interference noise occurs when energy from nearby marine seismic source vessels is recorded during a seismic survey. Such noise tends to be well preserved over large distances and cause coherent artifacts in the recorded data. Over the years, the industry has developed various denoising techniques for seismic interference removal, but although well performing they are still time-consuming in use. Machine-learning based processing represents an alternative approach, which may significantly improve the computational efficiency. In case of conventional images, autoencoders are frequently employed for denoising purposes. However, due to the special characteristics of seismic data as well as the noise, autoencoders failed in the case of marine seismic interference noise. We therefore propose the use of a customized U-Net design with element-wise summation as part of the skip-connection blocks to handle the vanishing gradient problem and to ensure information fusion between high- and low-level features. To secure a realistic study, only seismic field data were employed, including 25000 training examples. The customized U-Net was found to perform well leaving only minor residuals, except for the case when seismic interference noise comes from the side. We further demonstrate that such noise can be treated by slightly increasing the depth of our network. Although our customized U-Net does not outperform a standard commercial algorithm in quality, it can (after proper training) read and process one single shot gather in approximately 0.02s. This is significantly faster than any existing industry denoising algorithm. In addition, the proposed network processes shot gathers in a sequential order, which is an advantage compared with industry algorithms that typically require a multi-shot input to break the coherency of the noise.

In this paper, the potential use of multi-block chemometric methods to provide improved unsupervised classification of compositionally complex materials through the integration of multi-modal spectrometric data sets (one XRF, two NIR, and two FT-Raman) was tested. We concluded that multi-block HPLS models are effective at combining multi-modal spectrometric data to provide a more comprehensive classification of compositionally complex samples, and VIP can reduce HPLS model complexity, while increasing its data interpretability.

Full 3D modelling of time-domain electromagnetic data requires tremendous computational resources. Consequently, simplified physics models prevail in geophysics, using a much faster but approximate (1D) forward model. We propose to join the accuracy of a 1D simplified physics model with the flexibility of coarse grids to reduce the modelling errors, thereby avoiding the full 3D accurate simulations. We exemplify our approach on airborne time-domain electromagnetic data, comparing the modelling error with the standard 3% measurement noise. We find that the modelling error depends on the specific subsurface model (electrical conductivity values, angle representing the deviation of the 1D assumption) and the specific (temporal) discretization. In our example, the computation time is decreased by a factor of 27. Our approach can offer an alternative for surrogate models, statistical relations derived from large 3D datasets, to replace the full 3D simulations.

Knowledge of the underlying mechanisms of multiphase flow dynamics in porous media is crucial for optimizing subsurface engineering applications like geological carbon sequestration. However, studying the micro-mechanisms of multiphase fluid--grain interactions in the laboratory is challenging due to the difficulty in obtaining mechanical data such as force and displacement. Transitional discrete element method models coupled with pore networks offer insights into these interactions but struggle with accurate pressure prediction during pore expansion from fracturing and efficient simulation during the slow drainage of compressible fluids. To address these limitations, we develop an advanced two-way coupled hydro-mechanical discrete element method model that accurately and efficiently captures fluid--fluid and fluid--grain interactions in deformable porous media. Our model integrates an unconditionally stable implicit finite volume approach, enabling significant timesteps for advancing fluids. A pressure-volume iteration scheme dynamically balances injection-induced pressure buildup with substantial pore structure deformation, while flow front-advancing criteria precisely locate the fluid--fluid interface and adaptively refine timesteps, particularly when capillary effects block potential flow paths. The model is validated against benchmark Hele-Shaw experiments in both rigid and deformable porous media, providing quantitative insights into the micro-mechanisms governing multiphase flow. For the first time, grain-scale inputs such as viscous and capillary pressures, energies, contact forces, and flow resistances are utilized to provide a detailed understanding of micro-scale fluid--fluid and fluid--grain flow patterns and their transitions.

Here we critically examine the geophysical and geochemical properties of the Moon in order to identify the extent to which dynamical scenarios satisfy these observations. New joint inversions of existing lunar geophysical data (mean mass, moment of inertia, and tidal response) assuming a laterally- and vertically homogeneous lunar mantle show that, in all cases, a core with a radius of 300$pm$20 km ($sim$0.8 to 1.5 % the mass of the Moon) is required. However, an Earth-like Mg# (0.89) in the lunar mantle results in core densities (7800$pm$100 kg/m$^3$) consistent with that of Fe-Ni alloy, whereas FeO-rich compositions (Mg# = 0.80--0.84) require lower densities (6100$pm$800 kg/m$^3$). Geochemically, we use new data on mare basalts to reassess the bulk composition of the Moon for 70 elements, and show that the lunar core likely formed near 5 GPa, 2100 K and $sim$1 log unit below the iron-w"ustite buffer. Moreover, the Moon is depleted relative to the Earth's mantle in elements with volatilities higher than that of Li, with this volatile loss likely having occurred at low temperatures (1400$pm$100 K), consistent with mass-dependent stable isotope fractionation of moderately volatile elements (e.g., Zn, K, Rb). The identical nucleosynthetic (O, Cr, Ti) and radiogenic (W) isotope compositions of the lunar and terrestrial mantles, strongly suggest the two bodies were made from the same material, rather than from an Earth-like impactor. Rb-Sr in FANs and Lu-Hf and Pb-Pb zircon ages point Moon formation close to $sim$4500 Ma. Taken together, there is no unambiguous geochemical or isotopic evidence for the role of an impactor in the formation of the Moon, implying perfect equilibration between the proto-Earth and Moon-forming material or alternative scenarios for its genesis.

Short-term earthquake clustering is one of the most important features of seismicity. Clusters are identified using various techniques, generally deterministic and based on spatio-temporal windowing. Conversely, the leading rail in short-term earthquake forecasting has a probabilistic view of clustering, usually based on the Epidemic Type Aftershock Sequence (ETAS) models. In this study we compare seismic clusters, identified by two different deterministic window-based techniques, with the ETAS probabilities associated with any event in the clusters, thus investigating the consistency between deterministic and probabilistic approaches. The comparison is performed by considering, for each event in an identified cluster, the corresponding probability of being independent and the expected number of triggered events according to ETAS. Results show no substantial differences between the cluster identification procedures, and an overall consistency between the identified clusters and the relative events' ETAS probabilities.

The study of meteorites and their microstructures is a topic which spans multiple fields of research, such as meteoritics and materials science. For materials scientists and engineers, the extreme and unusual conditions which these microstructures form allow for insight into materials which would exist at the edge of our thermomechanical processing abilities. One such microstructure found in low-shock event iron meteorites is Neumann bands. These bands are an array of lenticular deformation twins that form throughout the Fe-Ni matrix with numerous intersections, resulting in many high stress and strain regions within the material's surface. The existence of these regions and the shocks that formed them encourage atypical strain accommodating mechanisms and structural changes of the material. However, direct investigation of the deformation twin intersections and the microstructural behaviour in and around these regions has been limited. In this work, investigation of these regions in a Campo del Cielo meteorite fragment, with electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and forescatter electron (FSE) imaging, revealed two primary findings: high-intensity pattern doubling mirrored across the {110} band at twin-twin intersection and microband formation across the sample surface, which suggest multilayer twinning and constraint of the crystal structure at points of twin-twin intersection. Microbands were found to form along the {110} plane and in regions near Neumann bands. The simultaneous existence of Neumann bands (microtwins) and microbands is presented here for a BCC material, and it is believed the Neumann band and microbands formed during different types and/or shock events. The presence of both Neumann bands and microbands within a BCC iron meteorite is previously unreported and may be valuable in furthering our understanding of shock deformation within iron-based materials.
对陨石及其微观结构的研究是一个横跨多个研究领域的课题,如陨石学和材料科学。对于材料科学家和工程师来说,这些微观结构所形成的极端和不寻常的条件可以让他们深入了解那些存在于我们热机械加工能力边缘的材料。在低冲击事件铁陨石中发现的一种此类微结构是诺伊曼带。这些条带是在整个铁-镍基体中形成的透镜状变形孪晶阵列,有许多交叉点,从而在材料表面形成许多高应力和高应变区域。这些区域的存在以及形成这些区域的冲击促进了材料的非典型应变容纳机制和结构变化。然而,对这些区域及其周围的变形孪晶交叉和微观结构行为的直接研究一直很有限。在这项工作中,利用电子反向散射衍射(EBSD)和前散射电子(FSE)成像技术对 Campo del Cielo 陨石碎片中的这些区域进行了研究,发现了两个主要发现:孪晶交汇处{110}波段上的高强度图案加倍镜像和整个样品表面的微带形成,这表明在孪晶交汇点存在多层孪晶和晶体结构约束。微带在{110}平面和诺伊曼带附近区域形成。这里介绍的是同时存在诺伊曼带(微孪晶)和微带的 BCC 材料,认为诺伊曼带和微带是在不同类型和/或冲击事件中形成的。在 BCC 铁陨石中同时存在诺伊曼带和微带是以前从未报道过的,这对于我们进一步了解铁基材料的冲击变形可能是有价值的。
