  2. 11. Efficient Electromagnetic Induction Modelling : Adaptive mesh optimisation, advanced boundary methods and iterative solution techniques

    Author : Laura M. Buntin; Thomas Kalscheuer; Gunilla Kreiss; Zhengyong Ren; Klaus Spitzer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Applied geophysics; Electromagnetic theory; Numerical Modelling; Geo-Electromagnetics; Magnetotellurics; Controlled-source electromagnetics; Goal-oriented adaptive mesh refinement; Perfectly-matched layers; Iterative solution methods; Preconditioning; Geofysik med inriktning mot fasta jordens fysik; Geophysics with specialization in Solid Earth Physics;

    Abstract : Forward modelling of electromagnetic induction data simulates the electric and magnetic fields within a computational domain for a given distribution of electromagnetic material properties and a given source of the electromagnetic field. The quantities of interest are the fields at receiver locations at the Earth's surface. READ MORE

  4. 12. Experimental and theoretical investigations into the streaming potential phenomenon with special reference to applications in glaciated terrain

    Author : Johan Friborg; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Tillämpad geofysik; Applied Geophysics;

    Abstract : The occurrence of an electrical potential difference between the ends of a capillary tube when a fluid flows through is known as the streaming potential phenomenon. It was reported by Quincke in 1859 and was studied by Helmholtz, among others, in the nineteenth century. READ MORE

  5. 13. Three-dimensional analysis of aeromagnetic and gravimetric data of sedimentary basins from Panama, Central America

    Author : Luis E. Santamaria Vallejos; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Applied Geophysics; Tillämpad geofysik;

    Abstract : The knowledge of the geology of the sedimentary basins from the Gulf of Panama is still quite limited. There is a lack of data from the basin geometry, the thickness, the continuity and connection between the basins, and from the characteristics of the crystalline basement rocks beneath the sedimentary basins.

  6. 14. Implementation of the spectral element method and iterative solution techniques for 3D controlled-source electromagnetic modelling

    Author : Michael Weiss; Thomas Kalscheuer; Michael Becken; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Controlled source electromagnetis; Electromagnetic theory; Numerical modelling; Applied geophysics; Geo-Electromagnetics; Spectral element method; Iterative solution methods; Preconditioning;

    Abstract : Controlled-source electromagnetic methods are imaging techniques applied at/on the surface of the Earth which record the electromagnetic field in order to assess the electrical conductivity distribution of the Earth’s subsurface, along with anomalies in this material property, as well as to characterise and interpret structures in Earth’s crust. Extracting information from the recorded electromagnetic data requires inverse modelling algorithms. READ MORE

  7. 15. 2D and 3D Seismic Surveying at the CO2SINK Project Site, Ketzin, Germany: The Potential for Imaging the Shallow Subsurface

    Author : Sawasdee Yordkayhun; Christopher Juhlin; Charlotte Krawczyk; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Inversion; Traveltime tomography; 3D seismic surveys; Seismic velocity; Seismic source; CO2SINK project; Geophysics; Geofysik;

    Abstract : Seismic traveltime inversion, traveltime tomography and seismic reflection techniques have been applied for two dimensional (2D) and three dimensional (3D) data acquired in conjunction with site characterization and monitoring aspects at a carbon dioxide (CO2) geological storage site at Ketzin, Germany (the CO2SINK project). Conventional seismic methods that focused on investigating the CO2 storage and caprock formations showed a poor or no image of the upper 150 m. READ MORE
