A nonlinear modeling and forecasting system of earth fractures based on coupling of artificial neural network and geographical information system—exemplified by earth fractures in Yuci City, Shanxi, China

Earth fracturing or fissuring is a natural phenomenon and a major geohazard in many countries. The factors that cause the earth to fracture were analyzed in Yuci City, in Shanxi Province of China using the geographical information system (GIS). A nonlinear simulation and assessment model of earth fracturing was established using the artificial neural network (ANN) technology to simulate the ...

Locating Groundwater Wells for Fracking Operations in West Texas - Case Study

In June 2014, our clients used AGI resistivity imaging tools to successfully locate a 125-gallon-per-minute groundwater well in West Texas as well as geohazards that could, if left unlocated, cause ...

UN disaster framework `in danger of not reaching goals`

Earthquake risk in developing countries is predicted to rise significantly and so more effective mitigation strategies that combine scientific evidence with economic incentives are needed, according to a paper published today in Science.The rising ...
