The Very Low Frequency Electromagnetic (VLF-EM) method, which enables surveying without contact with the ground, is suitable for ground surveys in a wide area and has been used in mapping geology and in mineral exploration for decades.... more
Levees are civil engineering structures built to protect human lives, property, and agricultural lands during flood events. To keep these important structures in a safe condition, continuous monitoring must be performed regularly and... more
A Valley of Mummies was discovered recently by an Egyptian team at Bahariya Oasis, located about 380 km west of the pyramids. Four tombs were excavated, and inside them were found one hundred and five mummies (105), many of them... more
Dear researchers, Geoscience and the progress of technology can be put to the service of the environment for the improvement of human living conditions. In this context, the Laboratory of Geodynamics and Natural Resources (LGRN),... more
With this depletion in the groundwater table, there has been an overuse of water in the aquifers. Hence, in order to study the subsurface geology of the area and in order to investigate the aquifer presence in the area, we selected 8... more
This brief review presents the international approaches to assessment of the content of geotaxis impurities (residual solvents and various inorganic and organic impurities) in pharmaceuticals. Nowadays, it has become necessary to provide... more
Recently, encouraging results have been obtained to estimate hydraulic conductivity in unconsolidated sediments from induced polarisation (IP) measurements. The work focussed on laboratory experiments in order to establish semi-empirical... more
The MT interpretation procedure begins with a set of sounding data in the frequency domain. The overall quality of these data can be variable both as a function of frequency and location. Many simple interpretation procedures, such as the... more
Stratigraphy and the oil industry are intricately intertwined and have been so ever since the early days of hydrocarbon exploitation. Stratigraphic understanding forms the basis for all upstream activity from basin exploration through... more
The paper presents a numerical algorithm that performs accurate lithology corrections for thermal (CNL/TNPH, CNL/NPHI) and epithermal (SNP) neutron logs, in the whole range of porosities normally encountered in practice. It is known that... more
Laboratory and field measurements were made in a study of a small number of chromite deposits in the Josephine ultramafic complex of northwest California, to examine their physical properties and to search for possible diagnostic... more
In contrast to the use of marine seismic reflection techniques for reservoir-scale applications, where seismic inversion for quantitative sediment analysis is common, shallow-water, very-high-resolution seismic reflection data are seldom... more
2D seismic refraction data, from seven traverse lines, were used to investigate subsurface geology in the Appollonian Formation of the onshore Tano Basin of Ghana. Tano Basin is one of the four basins of Ghana and the most important one... more
Since 2016 the Department of Culture and Civilization History at the University of Bologna has been conducting a study under the direction of Giuseppe Lepore and Enrico Giorgi, on the 3rd insula of the Roman Hellenistic Quarter of... more
Small, low cost Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) provide ideal platforms for shallow water survey, as they are capable of unmanned navigation and can be programmed to acquire data at constant depth, or constant altitude above the... more
The electromagnetic profiling and Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) data were acquired from some communities in the Twifo-Hemang Lower Denkyira District of the Central region of Ghana, in order to determine zones of high groundwater... more
Introducing and applying an appropriate strategy for reservoir modeling in strongly heterogeneous and fractured reservoirs is a controversial issue in reservoir engineering. Various integration approaches have been introduced to combine... more
