In an effort to understand the present-day thermal structure of the Jeanne d'Arc Basin, we derive matrix thermal conductivity values, using a geometric mean model, from thermal conductivity values of thirteen lithologic end-members (of... more

Phycosiphon-like trace fossils are some of the most common and important ichnofabric forming trace fossils in marine facies characterized by fine-grained sediments such as mudstones and siltstones. This study aims to reconstruct the... more
This paper is a contribution to the study of tunnelling in difficult conditions, with attention paid to large time-dependent deformations, which may develop either during construction, causing instabilities of the tunnel heading and of... more
The objective was to provide selection criteria for substrates that would enhance phosphate removal from waste water in a constructed wetland system (subsurface horizontal flow). Measured properties of seven substrates (bauxite, shale,... more
This thesis describes an investigation of the possibilities to measure ground-mass and especially joint parameters (joint direction and joint density) for engineering purposes by means of seismic waves. Therefore a literature study and a... more
ABSTRACT Late Jurassic Safer shales in the Al-Jawf sub-basin are analyzed to evaluate the organic matter input, depositional conditions and petroleum generation potential. The shales have high organic matter, with TOC values of 1.0-13.5%... more
Vertical electrical resistivity soundings were conducted in order to delineate groundwater potential aquifers in Peddavanka watershed, which is a catchment of about 398 km2 in Anantapur District, Andhra Pradesh, India. The main lithologic... more
