Download or read book Geophysical Site Characterization for UXO Background Studies written by Janet E. Simms and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Five 1-hectare UXO/landmine test sites were established at Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia (two sites); Fort Carson, Colorado (2 sites); and Jefferson Proving Ground (JPG), Indiana (1 site). The sites were characterized to document them for the purpose of comparison with other UXO/landmine test sites and to provide presite disturbance assessments disturbance of site heterogeneity and the presence of buried cultural features. The investigations included measurements and surveys to determine geological, geophysical, and environmental parameters or properties and their variation with depth, lateral dimension, and time. The criteria used for choosing the geographical location of a site are predominant soil type and average yearly precipitation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just below our feet is an environment that supports our infrastructure, yields water, provides for agriculture, and receives our waste. Our capacity to describe, or characterize, this environment is crucial to the solution of many resource, environmental, and engineering problems. And just as medical imaging technologies have reduced the need for exploratory surgeries, a variety of technologies hold the promise for rapid, relatively inexpensive noninvasive characterization of the Earth's subsurface. Seeing into the Earth examines why noninvasive characterization is important and how improved methods can be developed and disseminated. Looking at the issues from both the commercial and public perspectives, the volume makes recommendations for linking characterization and cost savings, closing the gap between the state of science and the state of the practice, and helping practitioners make the best use of the best methods. The book provides background on: The role of noninvasive subsurface characterization in contaminant cleanup, resource management, civil engineering, and other areas. The physical, chemical, biological, and geological properties that are characterized. Methods of characterization and prospects for technological improvement. Certain to be important for earth scientists and engineers alike, this book is also accessible to interested lay readers.

Download or read book Spatial Statistical Model and Optimal Survey Design for Rapid Geophysical Characterization of UXO Sites written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unexploded ordnance (UXO) surveys encompass large areas, and the cost of surveying these areas can be high. Enactment of earlier protocols for sampling UXO sites (SiteStats/GridStats) have shown the shortcomings of these procedures and led to a call for development of scientifically defensible statistical procedures for survey design and analysis. This project is one of three funded by SERDP to address this need. The problem is a very complicated one statistically, with a need to develop new approaches in survey design and data analysis. It became evident to our team at an early stage in this project that all of the statistical tools that are needed to address this problem were not on the table, and that some of the key questions had not been previously solved mathematically. It is critical that a new protocol for design and analysis of UXO surveys be able to address: (1) the idiosyncrasies of different sites in terms of their geology, ordnance types, topography, vegetation, and extent of background knowledge; (2) the uncertainties in performance of different types of instrumentation and instrument platforms that are available, or are becoming available for UXO surveys; (3) the distinctions between UXO contamination, which occurs at discrete points, and chemical contamination, which has a more continuous distribution; (4) the opportunities to interrogate the site through sequential surveys; and (5) the regulatory and public-involvement environment in which these surveys are typically performed. The protocol must allow for changes in these factors that may result from technological advances. A protocol that neglects some or all of these issues may never be suitable for routine use.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The return of the congress to North America after 20 years of absence could not have been in a more ideal location. The beauty of Banff and the many offerings of the Rocky Mountains was the perfect background for a week of interesting and innovative discussions on the past, present and future of geostatistics. The congress was well attended with approximately 200 delegates from 19 countries across six continents. There was a broad spectrum of students and seasoned geostatisticians who shared their knowledge in many areas of study including mining, petroleum, and environmental applications. You will find 119 papers in this two volume set. All papers were presented at the congress and have been peer-reviewed. They are grouped by the different sessions that were held in Banff and are in the order of presentation. These papers provide a permanent record of different theoretical perspectives from the last four years. Not all of these ideas will stand the test of time and practice; however, their originality will endure. The practical applications in these proceedings provide nuggets of wisdom to those struggling to apply geostatistics in the best possible way. Students and practitioners will be digging through these papers for many years to come. Oy Leuangthong Clayton V.

Download or read book Geotechnical and Geophysical Site Characterization written by António Viana da Fonseca and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 1082 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Soils and rocks are complex natural geomaterials that exhibit a wide range in strength, stiffness, state of stress, structure, and flow characteristics. Geotechnical & Geophysical Site Characterization provides eleven keynote state-of-the-art papers, including the Mitchell Lecture. A total selection of 219 technical papers and theme reports address methods of site exploration related to ground exploration for civil engineering and construction works. These two volumes represent a collection of experience & knowledge regarding various methods of in-situ testing, geophysical techniques, innovative devices, improved interpretation algorithms, and statistical treatment of field data for the characterization of soils, rocks, and other geomaterials. The papers represent the written records and documented efforts from international experts from industry, academe, and government who participated in the Second International Conference on Site Characterization held in Porto, Portugal on September 20-22, 2004. Topics include the utilization of rotary drilling, sampling, and coring techniques. Of particular interest is the variety of in-situ tests, including standard penetration, cone penetration, flat dilatometer, pressuremeter, vane shear, piezocone, dynamic probes, and specialized tools, as well as geophysical approaches: resistivity surveys, surface waves, crosshole, downhole, electromagnetic conductivity, and ground penetrating radar. A careful and proper site evaluation is required in the analysis and design of new structures, construction monitoring, and forensic studies that require remediation. Many of the contributions relate to case studies of projects that involve shallow foundations, drilled shafts, pilings, slope stability, excavations, earth dams, tunnels, and mining. Several papers discuss a combined approach using multiple methods and/or complementary set of geotechnical & geophysical tests to ascertain the characteristics of the ground."--back cover.

Download or read book Computational Neural Networks for Geophysical Data Processing written by M.M. Poulton and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2001-06-13 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was primarily written for an audience that has heard about neural networks or has had some experience with the algorithms, but would like to gain a deeper understanding of the fundamental material. For those that already have a solid grasp of how to create a neural network application, this work can provide a wide range of examples of nuances in network design, data set design, testing strategy, and error analysis.Computational, rather than artificial, modifiers are used for neural networks in this book to make a distinction between networks that are implemented in hardware and those that are implemented in software. The term artificial neural network covers any implementation that is inorganic and is the most general term. Computational neural networks are only implemented in software but represent the vast majority of applications.While this book cannot provide a blue print for every conceivable geophysics application, it does outline a basic approach that has been used successfully.
