Robust and adaptive approaches for Relative Geologic Time Estimation
For a geoscientist, the Relative Geologic Time (RGT) is an important tool to perform chronostratigraphic analysis. However, automatically estimate an RGT image from a seismic image can be a challenging task where we have to respect seismic features, the de ...
ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV2018Efficient global optimization of reservoir geomechanical parameters based on synthetic aperture radar-derived ground displacements
When large volumes of fluids are removed from or injected into underground formations for, e.g., hydrocarbon and water production, CO_2 storage, gas storage, and geothermal energy exploitation, monitoring of surface deformations coupled to numerical modeli ...
Soc Exploration Geophysicists2016Uranium Isotopes Fingerprint Biotic Reduction
Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Yuheng Wang, Malgorzata Alicja Stylo
Knowledge of paleo-redox conditions in the Earth's history provides a window into events that shaped the evolution of life on our planet. The role of microbial activity in paleo-redox processes remains unexplored due to the inability to discriminate biotic ...
Natl Acad Sciences2015Effect of Groundwater on Landslide Triggering
Landslides belong to the most important natural hazards in all mountainous regions. It is wellknown that water is one of the major triggers of landslides. Numerous landslide studies discuss different effects that water may have on slope stability: decreasi ...
EPFL2011A unified approach to orbital, solar, and lunar forcing based on the Earth's latitudinal insolation/temperature gradient
Widespread empirical evidence suggests that extraterrestrial forcing influences the Earth's climate, but how this could occur remains unclear. Here we describe a new approach to this problem that unifies orbital, solar and lunar forcing based on their comm ...
Elsevier2011An ALE-based numerical technique for modeling sedimentary basin evolution featuring layer deformations and faults
Alfio Quarteroni, Adelmo Cristiano Innocenza Malossi, Andrea Villa
In this paper we present a numerical tool to simulate dynamics of stratified sedimentary basins, i.e. depressions on the Earth’s surface filled by sediments. The basins are usually complicated by crustal deformations and faulting of the sediments. The bala ...
Elsevier2011Cadmium adsorption to mixtures of soil components: Testing the component additivity approach
The ability to predict the distribution of metals in geologic systems requires a modeling approach that can describe the competition among adsorbing surfaces for the metal of interest. In this study, we test if a component additivity (CA) surface complexat ...
2010Using geotypes for landslide hazard assessment and mapping: a coupled field and GIS-based method
Aurèle Parriaux, Séverine Bilgot
Switzerland is exceptionally subjected to landslides; indeed, about 10% of its area is considered as unstable. Making this observation, its Department of the Environment (BAFU) introduces in 1997 a method to realize landslide hazard maps. It is routinely u ...

2009Orbital forcing and the role of the Latitudinal Temperature/Isolation Gradient
Orbital forcing of the climate system is clearly shown in the Earths record of glacial–interglacial cycles, but the mechanism underlying this forcing is poorly understood. Traditional Milankovitch theory suggests that these cycles are driven by changes in ...
